Interim National Vice Chairman, South East of the All Progressive Congress
\n(APC) says tension has gripped the Peoples Democratic Party in Abia state
\nbecause of the support the party (APC) has gotten in the state.<\/p>\n
Anyim who spoke in a telephone interview with our correspondent while
\nreacting to reports of arrest of officials handling the registration of
\nmembers of the APC across the state, decried what he termed the
\nintimidation of members of his party.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe PDP is aware that we will sack them from the Abia Government House in
\n2015. There is fear among them because they know the people are with us.
\nThis is why they have become desperate by causing the arrest and detention
\nof our registration officials. This is the extent they have taken politics
\nto. The issue is that the PDP in Abia have become jittery because they
\nhave seen that the APC will win the state in 2015. The signs are there
\nthat Abia people have decided to back APC in 2015.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anyim who is believed to have his eyes on the Abia Governorship position
\nin 2015 called for an issue based politics rather one based on propaganda.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy can\u2019t people play politics based on issues rather than always telling
\nlie? Let them know that people of the state are tired of such lies. Last
\ntime they said, APC has zoned presidency and running mate to the North and
\nSouth West zones, APC is not an Igbo party. All these lies are unbecoming.
\nI want them to tell me which one is an Igbo party? Is it the PDP? Until we
\nbegin to play politics of issues of development, this country will still
\nremain the way it is. I thank God that Abia people are now wiser and with
\nthe support the party has gotten, PDP will be history in Abia come 2015,\u201d
