Why we didn’t participate in Ebonyi local council election – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State has given reason for its non-participation in the local council election in the state.
The Ebonyi State Independent Electoral Commission (EBSIEC) on Saturday conducted an election in the 171 wards of the 13 local councils in the state.
The chairman of the PDP caretaker committee in the state, Mr. Steve Oruruo, in a chat with journalists in Abakaliki blamed the party’s non-participation in the election on the leadership crisis.
He said the party was not happy with the situation.
Oruruo said the PDP executives in Ebonyi are working assiduously to bring the party back to life in the state.

He said: “Actually, we are not happy for not fielding a candidate. Of course, you must build your house first before you will be able to nominate candidates for elections.
“It’s true, our party is facing a lot of challenges, ranging from a leadership crisis and all that. I encourage our members to be focused in oneness.
“Right now, we are building on a strong platform to ensure that our party is stronger and united for a better Ebonyi and Nigeria at large.
“It is not good having one party system only in Ebonyi and that’s not good for democracy.”
