The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has commenced the recall process of Hon Sam Otuibe, representing Ahiazu Mbaise at the Imo State House of Assembly for defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC) without prior notice to the party.
The PDP chairman, Ahiazu Mbaise Local Government Area, Richard Iwu and the Publicity Secretary, Ibe Anyawu, noted that there was no crisis whatsoever in the party both at the state and national level that warranted the lawmaker to defect to another party.
Iwu disclosed that the party had passed a vote of confidence in Emeka Ihedioha in the face of his predicament, assuring that PDP, Ahiazu chapter will always support him.
“We hereby pass a vote of confidence on our son, Rt. Hon Emeka Ihedioha . That we are solidly, totally and fraternally behind him, in all things and at all times, even as our great party legally pursues the review of that obnoxious judgement of the Supreme Court.
