PDP BoT Chairman Praises Gov Otti, Says ‘They Can Expel Me’ Amid Suspension Threat

Governor Alex Otti’s efforts to Abia State have once again been commended by Senator Adolphus Wabara, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) board of trustees.
When Dr. Godswill Okoro, a former Secretary to the State Government during the first term of former Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, celebrated his 80th birthday on Sunday at the International Conference Center in Umuahia, Wabara made this statement.
The former Senate President made it clear that he is an Abia State native before joining the PDP.
Recall that on Tuesday, February 11th, the party’s Abia State branch suspended Wabara and prohibited him from serving in any party capacity.

Amah Abraham, the head of the State Executive Council (SEC), presided over the meeting that led to the decision.

Wabara was charged by the Abia State PDP of anti-party activities and of not apologizing when he was given the chance to do so.

Wabara’s actions are inappropriate for a former Senate president and party chairman of the Board of Trustees, it was stated.

Wabara, however, reaffirmed his position in front of the crowd, saying that following elections, governance should come before party politics.

He declared, “I, Adolphus Nduneweh Wabara, was first and foremost an Abia citizen before I became a PDP card-carrying member and then an NRC card-carrying member in this state.”

After elections and campaigns, politics comes to an end, and you begin to consider government. What is going on in Abia is visible even to a blind man! And once more, I repeat it! They may be able to eject me now that they have said that I was suspended.

“But, having said so, sir, continue with the works; our ancestors in Abia are with you,” Wabara continued, urging Otti to keep up his efforts. Perhaps the state’s PDP leadership would suspend Dr. Emelike Okoro, whom Governor Otti came to honor, on television the next day.
