Our correspondent who was invited to witness the botched Congress observed that trouble started after some Local Government Area chairmen stood against the commencement of the Congress.
They insisted that staff members of the Independent National Electoral Commission who were invited to witness the Congress should go.
Insisting the Imo state chapter of the SDP was “not for sale”, the angry politicians said that the internal differences must be resolved before a state Congress would hold.
The exchange of words resulted in a fight when the Oguta Local Government Area chairman, Chidi Oziri, approached his Okigwe LGA colleague, Nwankwo Maduka, and told him to sit down.
Maduka immediately cautioned him, then Oziri slapped him and used weapons on him which he retaliated. jamb results
The exchange crisis led to other chieftains who attacked each other, destroying party equipment and locking the secretariat.
Addressing our correspondent, the SDP chairman in Owerri zone, Chidiebere Oja, said that the Congress could not go on because they had information that some chieftains of other political parties from the state wanted to implant moles in the party.
