A vocal political pressure group, the Imo PDP Critical Stakeholders, has proffered ideas and advised the leadership of the Imo State Chapter of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), particularly the National Working Committee (NWC), on how best to fill the vacant positions created by the exit of the seven members of the State Working Committee (SWC) who resigned and left the party recently.
In a release signed by its spokesperson, Comrade Kenneth Chukwuemeka Akunnakwe, the Critical Stakeholders cautioned that the business of filling the vacant positions must follow due process and be consistent with the party’s established procedures for such exercise.
According to Akunnakwe, the stakeholders contended that “much as the resignation of the seven members of the Imo SWC is unfortunate, the party must regardless move on with its business of organizing for political victory in the forthcoming gubernatorial elections in the state.”
The stakeholders further averred that a fundamental fact is that PDP as a party, must ensure that rules and regulations are diligently followed in the inevitable exercise of replacing former SWC members.”
Akunnakwe who was a former chairman of Oru West Local Government Area, pointed out that the exit of some of the erstwhile Imo PDP executive members was not the first of its kind hence an orderly precedent had been established in that regard.
