He threw us (PDP) away as dirty water. But he shall pay for this betrayal and ingratitude\u201d the PDP Chairman said.<br \/>\nAzuama expressed happiness that since Uwajumogu left the PDP, the party has grown in number and strength and commended the contributions of such people like Chief Peter Orji, Sir George Egu, Chief Basil Ogwuegbu, Hon Jonas Okeke and others in making sure that PDP remained intact in Ihitte Uboma.<br \/>\nThe party Boss disclosed that PDP must sit up to meet the challenges facing it both at the State and LGA levels, pointing out that PDP followers are numerous in all the LGAs in Imo State, and only need encouragement, which he said has galvanized the party since after the 2011 election.<br \/>\nThe legal practitioner cum politician maintained that the party will clean the stakes in the forthcoming election, but warned that the party must look for those committed both in body and soul to the party, and not those who will be voted into office, only to sale and abandon the party for personal aggrandizement, adding that next time what befell to the party in Ihitte Uboma will not repeat itself as PDP in Ihitte Uboma has learnt its lessons.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, worried at the nefarious and fragrant abuse of the PDP Constitution by the members of OZOPOLF, the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ikeduru, Deacon Innocent Ofurum has expressed his determination to invoke the party&#8217;s Constitution on any erring member.<br \/>\nAddressing LGA ward executives and leaders of the party at the PDP headquarters in Iho-Ikeduru yesterday, the party Chairman frowned at the situation where PDP members of the Owerri Zone Political Leadership Forum in the area buoycot party meetings and functions at the instruction of its leadership.<br \/>\nOfurum explained that he has done everything within his powers to ensure that good counsel prevailed but to no avail. He warned, \u201cPDP as a party is supreme to any other socio-cultural or political grouping within the party and therefore should be respected. OZOPOLF, OPF or any other association cannot be superior to the party constutionally\u201d.<br \/>\nQuoting relevant sections of the party&#8217;s constitution as it affects discipline, Deacon Ofurum made it clear that anybody summoning local government party meeting outside the party office or doing anything that undermines the rules and regulations of the party is doing anti-party activity and therefore is guilty of suspension or expulsion as the case may be.<br \/>\nHe therefore warned all PDP members in the Local government to be mindful of their activities to avoid sanctions from the party.<br \/>\nSpeaking also the member representing Ikeduru in the State House of Assembly, Chief Samuel Anyanwu extolled the Leadership Qualities of Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu who is an indigene of the local government as well as the PDP Leadership at the area.<br \/>\nChief Anyanwu also sued for peace and unity among the party membership in the local government to be able to face future election challenges in the state.<br \/>\nOther people who spoke including the state youth leader of the party, Hon Okey Ezuruike, Executive Local government Chairman of Ikeduru, Chief Sam Aka, Local Government Secretary of the party, Hon Emma Alaribe and a former Executive Chairman of the Local Government, Barrister Uche Igbokwe expressed displeasure at the level of anti-party activities by some members in the area.<br \/>\nWhile assuring the party Chairman of the continued support of Ikeduru people, they urged him to be resolute and firm in applying the party constitution whenever there is need for it as that is the only way to restore the dignity of the party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Speaker of Imo House of Assembly, Rt Hon Benji Uwajumogu has been described as<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-frontpage"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","elegant-magazine-featured":"","elegant-magazine-medium":"","elegant-magazine-medium-small":"","elegant-magazine-thumbnail-small":""},"author_info":{"info":["Imo Trumpeta"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/?cat=3\" rel=\"category\">Frontpage<\/a>","tag_info":"Frontpage","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10558","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10558"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10558\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10562,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10558\/revisions\/10562"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
