During a trip to the Southeast, the governor of Abia, Okezie Ikpeazu, avoided PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.
The only one there when Atiku met with Southeast stakeholders in Enugu was Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
As the presidential candidate visited with other party candidates in the area, Ikpeazu was noticeably absent.
The PDP’s newly appointed chairman of the board of trustees, Senator Adolphus Wabara, the party’s national secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, the party’s candidates for governor in the states of Abia, Enugu, and Ebonyi, as well as some senatorial and House of Representatives candidates, all attended the meeting, which began at around 1.30 p.m.
Ikpeazu, a devoted supporter of Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike, was rumored to have skipped the meeting due to unresolved matters surrounding the party’s presidential primary contest.
As supporters of Wike, Wike’s associates had sworn not to join the Atiku-created Presidential Campaign Council.
