UMUAHIA- ABIA State PDP says the party was in no way jittery over the alleged moves by the former governor of the State, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu, saying the decision to reject his return was to avoid taking the party back to ugly past.PDP in a response to a statement credited to the Abia state Chairman of Progressive Peoples Party [PPA] to the effect that the party was jitter over the alleged plan of Kalu to rejoin the PDP.Abia PDP through its publicity Secretary, Chief Uchechi Ogbuka said that it was “yet to understand what amounts to the high political profile and stature of the former governor whose image is been panel-beaten for relevance”.According the Ogbuka, the party in Abia would not lose sleep over the former governor as he “is no longer an issue in Abia politics”,even as it claimed that the former governor has secretly been lobbying to be readmitted back to the PDP.The party wondered why PPA was almost dead if indeed the former governor has the political stature and profile being claimed by the PPA chairman, and “we also wish to tell Mr. Okafor that the Abia State of today is not the one of yesterday where anything goes”.“Let him also know that no Commissioner in the Abia State Executive Council under PDP collects SUV gifts from any investor before allowing his Ministry to partner with such investors for the development of the state.“We wish to reiterate the position of the party concerning any person with known democratic deficiencies who wishes to join the party. Such person must be purged of those anti-democracy viruses which had cost Abians so much until the present governor came to their rescue. No amount of blackmail will change that stand”, PDP said.
