Former Senate President Ken Nnamani claimed that the party’s head, Mr. Ugochukwu Agballa’s leadership style made it less appealing to potential members.

According to Nnamani, the party chairman had disregarded party mainstays and was, by his actions, bringing the party to a tragic conclusion.

“We feel the party is not going the way it should go. There is danger ahead as people are leaving our party.

“For only one person to contest our party’s gubernatorial primaries shows we are not attractive and most of our flag bearers are those most unlikely to win elections.

“Candidates of other parties have been coming to us to appeal for our support but ours are not coming,” he said.

Nnamani asserted that the chieftains will do every effort to keep the party from collapse and added that a splintered party would perform poorly in elections.

Agballa was also referred to as an “impostor” who was determined to ruin the party in the state by the former governor of the state, Mr. Sullivan Chime.

Chime claimed that because of Agballa’s past, he had never backed his bid to lead the party.

He said, “It is strange that I do not know any candidate from House of Assembly to Senate from my constituency and zone.

“I do not know who our candidates are. For the governorship candidate, I am hearing it as a rumour though it happens to be the person I knew from a distance.

“The last time I saw him was during Gov. Chimaroke Nnamani’s administration. I have not seen him since he emerged,” he said.

“I do not think I will be part of any arrangement to vote for someone I do not know. It is very clear to me how our presidential candidate emerged and no one said he was imposed on us.

“Therefore, I have a duty to support him. I will not just vote for him but will talk about him when I have the opportunity but I do not know the others and how they emerged,” Chime said.JAMB Result
