Uba Slams Peter Obi Over PDP’s Defeat In Anambra

Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chris Uba has slammed former Governor of Anambra state Peter Obi for the defeat of the party in Saturday’s governorship election.

Speaking to newsmen on Sunday, he said the party should avoid impunity and carry out introspection over its ordeal.

Uba, who said the candidate of the party, Oseloka Obaze, was not known to the founding members of the party, said he was forced on the PDP  by Obi.

He said: ”It’s because of this impunity that Obiano won this election. My heart is bleeding that we lost this election again. Anambra State is a PDP state, yet each time we will lose to strangers.

”How is it that each time, a party somebody is nurturing will be hijacked by strangers some months to the election? Obi has not won any election without my input. Why did he bring a foreigner to represent us in this election? That is the cause of this loss.”

The member of the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT) said Obi must apologise to party members in Anambra.

”Obi doesn’t have the capacity to make Obaze or anybody a governor without my input.

”Obi has killed this party. This is an election we would have won with a wide margin. Obi carried what he could not control.

”My heart is bleeding. We lost this election by coming distant third. In such a large party, you don’t use it to settle scores. Obi came into the PDP to settle scores with Obiano, his former ally. That was our bane in this election.

”Obi should apologise to the PDP in five national dailies for this disappointment he caused us. Failure to apologise, I know what to do,” he said.
