Few days ago, the state chairman, Bar. Charles Ezekwem resigned his position.

The ex- chairman, who has since joined the All Progressives Party (APC), accused a PDP chieftain of hijacking the party structure in the state.

It was gathered that some top chieftains of the party are itching to abandon the party following what a source disclosed as “high-handedness of a governorship candidate.”

It was gathered the forms of the party for the primaries were hijacked by a group loyal to the former governorship candidate.
