Awka, June 5, 2025 — The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State has extended an open invitation to former governor and 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, to return to the party fold.
The appeal was made in a communiqué issued following an enlarged meeting of the State Executive Committee (SEC) in Awka on Thursday. The document, signed by Anambra PDP Chairman Chidi Chidebe, emphasized the need for unity and ideological consistency, warning that coalitions with incompatible political groups may not produce lasting results.
“The committee extends an open invitation to all aggrieved and former members of the PDP in Anambra, particularly our revered former governor, Mr. Peter Obi, to return home and reunite with the now rejuvenated and restructured PDP,” Chidebe stated.
He also urged Anambra voters to support the party’s candidates, Mr. Jude Ezenwafor and Mr. Francis Okeke, in the upcoming elections, and called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure a fair and transparent process.
The PDP further announced the unanimous nomination of Chief Clems Ezike to fill the vacant position of National Ex-Officio from Anambra, urging the Southeast Zonal Executive Committee led by Chief Ali Odefa to transmit the nomination to the national secretariat.
Chidebe praised the recent National Executive Committee meeting held on May 27 and expressed confidence in the party’s approach to resolving internal disputes.
