The Chief Press Secretary to Abia State Governor, Mr. Charles Ajunwa, has refuted a media report that the governor’s son, Chinedu, was mounting pressure on the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state to pave way for his emergence as the next Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly.
Ajunwa in a press release made available to journalists in Umuahia, described the said media report as baseless and unfounded, and urged members of the public to disregard it.
According to him “there is no iota of truth in the said publication targeted to disrepute the first family”.
He explained that the governor’s son had never at any time meddled in the affairs of the party as “he is not an official of PDP nor government official but a private individual who has always minded his own business.”
The governor’s aide blamed detractors for planting the publication which he said was intended to generate bad blood in the party and cause disaffection in the polity ahead of the 2015 elections.
He further said the governor’s son had not indicated interest in any elective office let pressurising party officials, wondering why “mischief makers would always want to look for ways to disrepute him.”
Apart from warning members of the opposition and detractors to stop attacking the governor’s son for cheap political popularity, Ajunwa affirmed that there was no division in Abia PDP contrary to speculations.
In a related development, PDP Chairman in the state, Senator Emma Nwaka, had denied that the leadership of the party was under pressure to impose the governor’s son as Speaker.
He also said he was not aware if the governor’s son had bought the expression of interest form for any political office, but quickly declared that he (governor’s son) ” is eligible to contest for any office of his choice should he decide to run”.
