A frontline aspirant to the chairmanship seat of the Peoples Democratic Party Chief Barrister Olugu Kalu Ugba (Isibumba) has stated that the party is on a mission to reinvent the party and put the party back to winning ways.
Chief Kalu Ugba, while speaking with newsmen at his Umuahia residence said the party took a lot of things for granted having been in leadership for a long time.
“Right now the people are prepared to elect their own leaders and in the spirit of returning power to the people as propagated by the founding fathers of the PDP, round pegs will be put in round holes,” he said the party is now here to return power to the people and that the people will elect their own leaders to ensure quality people-oriented leadership.
Barrister Kalu Ugba said, Governor Alex Otti, is campaigning for the PDP to return to power because of poor leadership, and because he is not doing enough for the people, his policies are draconian and scaring investors, and people are laid off from work, and the people have tried both ways and have seen that the PDP is better.
The former Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor stated that he has the backing of the people and that for the very first time, PDP is taking its leadership campaign to the people and people will choose who will lead the party through a people-oriented process.
He assured that if elected, he would start from the ward to the state level in his reconciliation program those who left the party would return because according to him PDP is the only party in Abia and those who left are waiting for the party to get it right by electing him and they will return to the party.
