Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Thursday prompted Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State to right away unseal the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) state secretariat that has actually been shut because 2019.

He said it is uncalled for that the state federal government declines to unseal the secretariat as the 2023 election techniques.

Speaking through Raymond Dokpesi, Chairman of the Technical Committee for the actualisation of Atiku Abubakar presidential aspiration, he stated Umahi must also think about releasing Nwoba Chika Nwoba, the celebration’s Publicity Secretary, from authorities custody after he was seized over alleged fake news and cybercrime.

“I remember strongly when I came here on 2, 3 celebrations, the very first one was when I was contesting for chairman of the party, this governor met me at Abuja after I have actually checked out here to plead with him to step down for the chairmanship race for the general interest of the celebration and in the total interested of the Federal Government.

“This same guy does not have sufficient persistence when it comes to his own individual ambition of ending up being the president, he breezed in a brutal way and took the secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party, that a very abhorrent act, that is the height of brutality and wickedness.

“And I call on him to, at this point in time, return the secretariat to the PDP of the southeast party, let me also get in touch with him to immediately release of the PDP officer whom he has actually taken to court with trump up charges, we are all supposed to be democratic, not tyrants. Individuals have a right to a different viewpoint and must not be incriminated and handled in such an abhorrent manner.

“I want to call on all members of the Peoples Democratic Party in this place to stay resilient, I believe really soon you will be hearing some good news for the head waiters of this very party, this maltreatment can not be sustained.

“I’m here on behalf of Atiku Abubakar to talk to you to express deep appreciation to you for the assistance you offered to me in Port Harcourt 2018 and thank you for providing me about 70 percent of the overall vote cast in 2019 general elections.

“But like I said the 2019 election which we contested, the APC, the ruling celebration, appropriated, diverted the result to themselves. And as law-abiding people given that the Supreme Court pronounced on it we needed to begin preparing for the next elections which are arranged for February next year. We hope and hope that the government will sign into law the brand-new electoral act, that we have the ability to have some transparent open election in February next year,” he told journalists in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital.
