Abia Commissioners Ordered To Declare For PPA

Abia State chairman of Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA), Ezeogo Emeka Onuoha, has ordered members of the state Executive Council who have not formally declared for the party to do so without further delay. 

After dissolving his first set of commissioners, Governor Thoedore Orji in August last year, reconstituted the cabinet. But Onuoha observed with dismay that since their inauguration, some of the commissioners and Special Advisers were yet to formally declare for PPA.   

Addressing PPA faithful at a meeting with the governor, Onuoha ordered all those concerned to go and declare at their wards with immediate effect to enable them assume leadership of the party in their localities as well as enjoy all privileges and benefits accorded party members. 

According to Abia PPA boss, it was only when they have complied with his directive that they could now see themselves as members of the PPA family. He did no say if anyone who disobeys the directive would be punished and how. 

The directive of the chairman came after the governor had charged party stalwarts on loyalty to PPA.

 Orji had expressed regret that most party members in positions of trust or those benefiting from contracts were not making enough financial contributions to the growth and administration of the party.

 “Be loyal to the party. Abia is the only PPA state. We were two before, Abia and Imo. But now, Ohakim (Imo State Governor) has joined PDP. All the problems of the party nationwide are borne by Abia state alone. Ask yourself how many people are supporting the party? Most party members get money and pocket it and forget the party. If we all can contribute, the party will perform. Try your best to sustain the party,” Orji advised.

 He made a donation of N5 million and 100 bags of rice to the party members for their Easter celebrations.
