Come Back Home, Peter Obi – PDP Sends Emotional Appeal to Former Ally

The Anambra State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has appealed to former governor Peter Obi to return to the party fold.

Obi had left the PDP for the Labour Party (LP) after his unsuccessful bid to clinch the PDP presidential ticket.

Following an expanded meeting of the State Executive Committee (SEC) held in Awka to assess the party’s direction and strategize for the future, the PDP extended an olive branch to all disaffected and former members, including Obi, urging them to rejoin the party.

In a communiqué issued at the end of the meeting and signed by Chidi Chidebe, PDP Chairman in Anambra, the party emphasized that partnerships with politically incompatible groups under the guise of alliances would likely be ineffective.

“The committee warmly invites all aggrieved and former members of the PDP in Anambra, especially our highly respected former governor, Mr. Peter Obi, to come back home and reconnect with the revitalized and reorganized PDP,” Chidebe stated.

“We are ready to welcome back our brothers and sisters to join us in the shared mission of building a better Nigeria.”

Chidebe also called on Anambra voters to back Jude Ezenwafor and his running mate, Francis Okeke, in the forthcoming elections, and appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure a free, fair, and credible election.

He further announced the unanimous selection of Clems Ezike to occupy the vacant position of National Ex-Officio from the state.
