The immediate-past governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu and the state party chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Elder Amah Abraham, have chastised PDP decampees as hungry, cannot endure hunger and suffering cosmic consequences.
Addressing Abia South faithful in his Obingwa country home on Saturday, when the state PDP Working Committee paid him a visit, they said the party has learnt its lessons and will not fail again.
Ikpeazu said, โWe did to ourselves what is happening to us. If we want to correct it, we can. When I was hosting the Reconciliation Committee, I told them that their mandate by my own interpretation is not to reconcile aggrieved party people alone. Something is holding everybody, including me. This is because, anybody who has not reconciled himself, cannot reconcile another person.
He advised the reconciliation committee that if they approach anyone and the person refuses, the committee should find a youth to replace the person as a stakeholder.
The loss by PDP in Abia South, he said, is not his making, and assured them that he will fund the election and denied some desertersโ claim that their annoyances were that they ticked and turned around to ask people not to vote for them.
Earlier, Abraham said God has been faithful to the party and had granted them a special grace to be in Government for 24 years.
He described Ikpeazu as a product for national service and should forget contesting any other electionโ, and urged those bickering to come and contest as it is not Ikpeazu that is withholding them, adding that the party is going to conduct one of the freest primaries in the history of democracy in Africa. It is in your place to tell us who to represent you.
Meanwhile, The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Abia State, Abraham Amah has explained why the party lost the 2023 general elections in the state.
Amah identified fielding wrong candidates and embezzlement of election funds by party members as major reasons for PDP defeat.
He spoke at Abia North stakeholders and reconciliation meeting held at Abam, Arochukwu Local Government Area of the state.

Breaking: Diri Orders Autopsy on Bayelsa Deputy Governorโs Death, Warns Against Politicisation
Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has ordered an autopsy to determine the cause of death of the stateโs Deputy Governor, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo.
Governor Diri gave the directive on Saturday while receiving former President Goodluck Jonathan at the Government House in Yenagoa.
Reacting to the incident, the governor condemned what he described as widespread misinformation and speculation on social media, warning against any attempt to politicise the deputy governorโs death.
โI want to make an appeal. I have seen people politicise his death. In Ijaw land, there is no enmity in death. Let nobody politicise the passing of our dearly beloved deputy governor,โ Diri said.
โIf anyone truly loves him, this is the time to show it. I have directed that an autopsy be carried out to reveal the cause of his death. There is a lot of nonsense going on on social media.โ
The governor further urged the public to focus on mourning and honouring the late deputy governor, noting that the state government had declared three working days of mourning in his honour.
โIf anyone is issuing statements to eulogise him, let it end there. Let us mourn him because Bayelsa State is in a mourning mood,โ he added.
Governor Diri also called for unity and love among the people, reminding them of the inevitability of death.
Speaking during the condolence visit, former President Goodluck Jonathan described the late Ewhrudjakpo as a committed and dedicated individual who played a key role in the activities of his foundation.
โFor me, he was someone my foundation and I will never forget. He represented the governor in all our programs,โ Jonathan said, adding that Ewhrudjakpo worked tirelessly in that role, even more than when he served as deputy governor.
The founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, has said he will never take part in partisan politics, not for even billions of naira.
He stated that no amount of money, including โ$1 billion,โ (1.4 Trillion naira) would make him join politics.
Oyedepo made this known during an impartation service at Shiloh 2025 held at the churchโs headquarters in Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State.
He explained that partisan politics is not part of his lifeโs calling and that is why he has chosen to stay away from it.
In his words: โIn 2015, I warned the church that trouble was coming. Didnโt trouble come?
โPartisan politics is off my calling. If you give me $1 billion to join politics, I wonโt, because it is off my course.โ
The bishop also said the world is in urgent need of Godโs intervention because of the times we are living in.
According to him, believers are being trained as an end-time army to bring solutions to national and global problems, similar to what biblical figures like Joseph and Daniel did.
