Ikeoha Campaign Organisation Calls For Suspension Of National Delegates Election In Enugu

The Ikeoha campaign organization which is pushing for the former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu to pick the Gubernatorial ticket of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Enugu State has called for the suspension the National Delegates Election in the State.

A statement signed by the Director-General, Ikeoha Campaign Organisation, Hon. Charles Ogbo Asogwa read; "It has come to the knowledge of the Ikeoha Campaign Organisation that some interest groups are planning to use the concocted list of three-man delegates that is being challenged in court in the election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Delegates in Enugu today, the 10th day of May 2022.

"Recall that we all know that those on that list never participated in the election of three-man delegates in Enugu State and where they participated, they lost.

"The Ikeoha Campaign Organisation, therefore, advises the PDP to refrain from impunity and allow the courts to adjudicate on the matter. Any such disrespect to the court process on the matter will have consequences on our primary elections.

"In the circumstance, therefore, we urge the PDP to suspend the exercise of electing National Delegates in Enugu State today and await the court verdict regarding the three-man delegates.

"We equally hereby advise all lovers of democracy and all those who have respect for our judiciary to shun today’s exercise" the statement concluded.

I couldn’t believe my ears when he proposed. I haven’t stopped looking at the ring. Is this real? I was so excited even the stranger on the street could tell something great just happened. Like a whirlwind, we started all the preparation for the big day. We didn’t spare a dime in our quest to have the wedding of our dreams. After the wedding, we both were exhausted and had a well-deserved one month honeymoon far away on one of Denmark’s coldest islands. I wish this was all that marriage was. I had got used to waking up about half nine to a cup of coffee and a warm kiss from the love of my life. We’d have a shower together, then have breakfast while we looked over the beach. We constantly looked into each other’s eyes with so much assurance of facing the future together. We’d take a long walk in each other's arms and have a nap just about noon. We did lots of kayaking and scuba diving during the day before settling into a nice buffet dinner. Having no one wait on you for anything
