There have never been any credible pdp congresses in Enugu State since 2003. The former governor, Chimaroke Nnamani because of his insatiable love for power emasculated the party in the state and called virtually all the shots.

Nnamani forced the party to do only his biddings. He “appointed” all candidates of the party to any elective position in the state and any aspiring candidate who did not get his (Chimaroke’s) nod was just wasting his time.

Nnamani consolidated his “appointment” style of state congresses and eventually passed it on to his protégé, Sullivan Chime who also went on to improve on it. It has been like that ever since.

Now that the impunity, imposition and winner takes it all style of pdp are being checked, nobody is supposed to be surprised by the judgements coming from the courts against the party’s sham congresses in the state.
