Abia PDP Crisis Deepens Over Wabara’s ‘Suspension’


A major crisis has hit the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State following the announcement of the suspension of the Board of Trustees (BoT) Chairman Adolph Wabara over alleged antiparty activities.

The leadership crisis in the party took a dramatic twist, when a few hours following the purported suspension of Wabara, a factional group, Frontiers for Change and Progress, announced the expulsion of Chairman Abraham Amah over alleged impersonation.

Announcing Amah’s expulsion from Umuahia yesterday, the National Coordinator of Frontiers for Change and Progress, Emeka Ikpegbu, stated that Amah lacked the constitutional power to suspend Wabara.

He said: “We heard this afternoon that one Amah Abraham, parading as Abia PDP Chairman, claimed he had suspended the BoT chairman of our great party Adolphus Wabara.

“He even claimed he had removed him as the BoT chairman of the PDP. But those of us who know Abraham Amah are not surprised. “We know his antecedents.

He claims to be PDP chairman, but the truth remains that Abia PDP has no EXCO at the moment. “There was a court injunction stopping the purported congress that produced him.
