From PDP Youth Wing Abia State

Your Excellency,

  1. Your emergence as National Chairman of our great Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was God’s verifiable intervention. When the world thought we were faced with the danger of extinction, you changed the game; and in one fell swoop converted our weaknesses to strength. It is clear that PDP under your able leadership has taken its pride of place, living to the utter amazement of the original intentions of our Founding Fathers and gradually restoring the locust years. We appreciate you deeply for these achievements. Our commitment to party loyalty is undivided and without fear or favor.
  2. Recall that as a mark of solidarity for the CHANGE you represent, enlarged STAKEHOLDERS from Abia State visited you at Wadata Plaza in February 2014. We did tell you among things that we do not want ORJI UZOR KALU readmitted into Abia Chapter of the Party. Apart from the collateral damage his poor credibility status may cause the Party, we are aware that his readmittance would reintroduce politics of division in Abia, which was the most prominent trait of his years in Abia PDP.
  3. The Youths in Abia PDP were insistent in their rejection of the admittance of Orji Uzor Kalu. We walked the streets. We expressed our displeasures because we did not want to revert to the politics of rancor, mudslinging, divisiveness and oath   Abia is peaceful. The remote reason for this peace is the successful ostracizing of bad elements in the party.
  4. On Wednesday Sept. 10, 2014; we received copies of photographs ostensibly showing Orji Uzor Kalu with you and some bigwigs of our party taken after Orji Uzor Kalu had “conferred” with you at our Party Headquarters.
  5. Orji Uzor Kalu has caused that picture and the accompanying news stories to go viral thus creating the impression that he may have been readmitted to the PDP by you; thereby causing PPA members to celebrate on the streets of Abia that their BOT Chairman is now leading Abia PDP. That news alone has stirred an overwhelming feeling of disharmony amongst our party members in the State.
  6. We know that Orji Uzor Kalu may have “conferred” with you on issues not related to admitting him to the Party. But, you will be shocked to realize that PDP members in Abia do not want to associate with Orji Uzor Kalu given the enormity of distraction that association would pose to the party.
  7. Orji Uzor Kalu has never ceased being a member and Board of Trustees Chairman of Progressive People’s Alliance (PPA), a party he has used consistently to oppose the leadership of PDP in Abia.
  8. Only recently, he had gathered his ‘supporters’ at his Igbere Country Home, cajoled, despised and berated the PDP. Orji Uzor Kalu did not only declare his intention to run for Abia North Senate under his PPA, he boasted how PPA would drive PDP out of Government House Umuahia in 2015.
  9. Orji Uzor Kalu seems to have fraternized with those who are in opposition with PDP more than any person living or dead. There are ominous signs everywhere that PDP’s political enemies are his friends.
  10. Whereas, we concede to Orji Uzor Kalu the right to freedom of association especially with PDP’s enemies, we reecho in clear terms what Ochereome Nnanna (Vanguard February 20, 2014) wrote that, “A person’s right of association depends whether the group he seeks to join is willing to have him as their member. If, for any reason, a group does not consider you worthy of being their member, you cannot impose yourself on them, and I don’t think any court can force you on them. The two sides must be willing to cohabit. If a group decides you do not possess the qualities worthy of their membership it has the right to keep you at bay, your constitutional rights notwithstanding.
  11. We are not willing to have Orji Uzor Kalu readmitted to Abia PDP. The Youths across the 183 political wards, 17 LGAs, and three Senatorial Zones in Abia reiterate for the umpteenth time that AN

ORJI UZOR KALU IN ABIA PDP WOULD INTRODUCE AN UNNECCESSARY DISTRACTION INIMICAL TO THE SUCCESS OF ANY SERIOUS POLITICAL PARTY DETERMINED TO WIN ELECTIONS AND OFFER QUALITY LEADERSHIP.

  1. PDP YOUTH WING, Abia State; urges you to please distance yourself from any act that would suggest that you may be aligning with those who fan the embers of divisive politics.
  2. May God honor you with lavish wisdom as you lead us to sustain our place as the largest and most productive black party in the world
