Fayose, Wike, Ugwuanyi Arrive Anambra for PDP Ward congress

The governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, his counterparts, Ayo Fayose of Ekiti and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu were expected in Awka Sunday night for Monday’s Ward Congress of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Wike will be the chairman of the exercise. The three governors are part of the five member panel mandated by the national leadership of the party to lead the conduct of the party’s congress for the nomination of three delegates from each of the 326 wards in Anambra State

All logistics had been put in place to enable them conduct a hitch free exercise that must have at least a woman as one of the three ward delegates.

At a popular hotel in Awka, many PDP big wigs were seen awaiting the arrival of the governors and other members of the panel on Sunday night.

It was gathered that members of the panel would immediately on arrival, go into a meeting with the Professor Alphonsus Nwosu–led state caretaker committee to work out modalities for a smooth exercise today.

Prof Nwosu, while interacting with reporters last night, promised a credible ward congress and governorship primary election in the state, adding that his team would ensure that no aspirant of the party will jacked the process.

According to him, many of the stakeholders had been clamouring to contribute candidates for the ward delegates’ exercise, but the committee had insisted on not giving anybody any opportunity to influence the exercise.
