PDP Congress: We fled Adamawa for our lives – Committee

The Congress and Appeal committees ward congress in Adamawa State has called for the immediate dissolution of Joel Madaki-led executive committee of the party in the state.
They also relayed how they fled the state after being held hostage and forced to write results.
The PDP held ward congresses last Saturday across the country.
Spokesperson of the committees, Moses Ibiyemi, at a press brief in Abuja, decried the attitude of the state chairman and other officials of the state working committee, describing it as barbaric.
“We were kidnapped, harassed and beaten by thugs organised by the chairman and his team,” Ibiyemi stated.
He said it took the intervention of mobile policemen and some stakeholders of the party in the state to rescue them from alleged party thugs who besieged their hotel.
“There was no election at Adamawa. The result prepared and forced on the committee by the state chairman and Exco was false,” he added.
Meanwhile there is brewing crisis in the South-south PDP over the ambition of the Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Chief Uche Secondus, to retain his position in the forthcoming national convention.
The zoning committee headed by Akwa Ibom State governor, Emmanuel Udom has retained the position of Deputy National Chairman in the South-South.
But a chieftain of the party from the zone who pleaders anonymity told some newsmen in Abuja that members from the zone are divided over the plan by the Rivers/Bayelsa axis to retain the position.
“Edo/Delta chapter of the party are pitched against the Rivers/Bayelsa chapter and this is because Secondus wants to retain the office even when it was proposed that Edo/Delta axis should produce the candidate for the office.
