Gov Orji Inaugurates 18-member Committee to Appraise the Performance of PDP in the Last General Elections

Abia State Governor, Chief Theodore Orji, has inaugurated an 18-member
committee to appraise the performance of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
in the state in the last general elections.

The committee headed by a former state chairman of the PDP in the state,
Chief Ndidi Okereke, is charged among others with the responsibility of
ascertaining the perceivable problems and constraints faced by the party
during the elections.

Inaugurating the committee at the Government House, Umuahia, Governor Orji
charged the committee to review and appraise the performance of the party
in the last polls and ascertain the remote and perceived problems faced by
the party in that election with a view to proffering solutions capable of
leading to improved performance in future polls.

The Governor said that even though the PDP won in many  of the contested
elections in the last elections in the state, that victory did not generate
the usual euphoria that characterize the party in the previous elections.

To that end, he said that the committee is to provide the way forward for
the party including requirements for reforming and rebuilding a stronger
and more resilient PDP in the state, and gave the committee two weeks to
complete the assignment.

Responding on behalf of the others, the chairman of the committee, Chief
Ndidi Okereke thanked the Governor for the opportunity given to them to
serve and promised to do the job judiciously.

Members of the committee include: Chief Ndidi Okereke – Chairman, Chief
Charles Ogbonnaya, Iheanacho Achim, Dr. Sam Ahiwe, Chief Chinagorom
Nwankpa, Chief Isaac Ogbonna, K.O. Mgbeahuru, Ngozi Ekeke.

Others are Hon. Emeka Stanley, Rt. Hon. Barrister Chinedum Elechi, Chris
Osuagwu,  Dr. Sampson Orji, P.C. Mba, D.K. Uduma, Barrister Loveth Ofegbu,
Jerry Awa, Hon. Dr. Mrs. Blessing Nwagba and Cherechi Nwogu
