PDP moves for reconciliation in Imo

Following the con­troversy, which trailed the gover­norship primary of the Peoples Demo­cratic Party (PDP) in Imo State and the threat it poses to the chances of the party in the general elections, gladiators and stalwarts of the party have embarked on fence mending.
Top officials of the par­ty in Imo State, are said to have been advised to close ranks and rally sup­port for the governorship candidate, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, who won the primary in a transparent election.

Recall that the gover­norship primary of the PDP held on December 8, at the Grasshoppers Stadium in Owerri, the Imo State capital and pro­duced Hon. Ihedioha as winner with 346 votes fol­lowed by Senator Ifeanyi Ararume with 336 votes. However the runner up as an afterthought has been contesting the result of the polls having failed to register any dissent right at the venue of the prima­ries.
Sources told Saturday Sun that already the win­ner of the primary had been meeting leaders and key stakeholders of the PDP in the state and be­yond and such moves are already yielding results.
The sources further revealed that hitherto hardliners opposed to Ihe­dioha’s victory are said to be softening their postures and showing willingness to put up a united front for the PDP to make a deci­sive showing at the gen­eral election.
It was also gathered that the state chairman, Nnam­di Anyaehie, a respected leader and stabilizer of the party is anchoring the reconciliation moves.
