The stakeholders of the People's Democratic Party, PDP in Ebonyi, have warned their members against dragging their party to court over a clash of interests.
The party stakeholders stated this in a communique raised during their meeting on Wednesday at Abakaliki, the state capital.
Reading the communique signed by the PDP stakeholders cutting across the 13 local government areas of the state, the former Chief Whip of the Ebonyi State House of Assembly, Hon Humphrey Nwuruku said the party members should rather seek internal dispute resolution instead of taking the party to the court.
"We call on the members that took the party to court to refrain from such habit and seek the party's internal dispute resolution or mechanism in the interest of the party," the PDP chieftain said.
Nwuruku who was the 2023 PDP Candidate for Ikwo North State Constituency noted that the PDP stakeholders have re-affirmed their support and solidarity to the first Civilian Governor of Ebonyi State, Senator Sam Egwu as the party leader in the state.
"We further commend the way and manner that he (Senator Egwu) has piloted the affairs of the Party in Ebonyi State.
"That we strongly affirm on the Unity and Progress of the Party in the State," he further stated.
He disclosed the PDP stakeholders' readiness to reclaim power both in the state and at the national level come 2027, urging the party members to be united.
"We, the stakeholders of the Party across the 13 local government areas of Ebonyi State strongly affirm that the State is PDP and PDP is Ebonyi State.
"Therefore, we are not deterred by the defection of some members, as we are focused on mobilizing to reclaim power come 2027.
"We call for the unity of stakeholders and members of the party in the 13 local government areas of the state, in ensuring the progress of the party in line with the constitution of the party," Nwuruku said.
