No force can defeat PDP if members are united – Ex-Governor Ikpeazu

Former Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu has urged the members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to remain steadfast and committed to the party, stressing that loyalty is the highest sacrifice expected of members.

Ikpeazu who hosted a meeting of selected PDP top shots from Abia South zone in his hometown Umuobiakwa, said the PDP will be unbeatable, if united.

He charged party leaders in the zone to hold regular meetings at all levels to strengthen the party structures in the zone, State and the nation at large while urging them to resist distractions from those he described as “noise makers and naysayers.”

“Loyalty to the party is the ultimate sacrifice we owe to ourselves and to the people we serve. Once we remain united, no external force can defeat us.”

The former Governor lamented that some persons did not see his achievements while in charge of the state but choose to blame him for anything not going well in their lives.

“If somebody’s pot of soup sours, they will blame Okezie Ikpeazu as being responsible for it”, he said.

In his remarks, the PDP Vice Chairman, Abia South, Enyinnaya Appolos, said the meeting provided an opportunity for leaders of the party in the zone to exchange ideas, and receive briefing from the former Governor, whom he said, remained the state leader of the PDP.

Appolos called on the Abia South PDP leaders to show commitment and work with unity of purpose so that PDP could remain the dominant party in Abia.
