ENUGU PDP CRISIS:This is my story, by Nwodo

The face off   between Governor Sullivan Chime and the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo has gradually degenerated into a major political crisis in Enugu State.   The dispute which began as a minor intra-party squabble has polarised the ruling PDP into three major camps with Governor Chime leading one group and Dr. Nwodo leading the second. The third group which is the Ebeano Political Family founded by former Governor Chimaroke Nnamani is singing a different tune.
Even as the party crisis continues to escalate, Chime still enjoys the loyalty and support of the elected public officers from the state, notably members of the National Assembly except Senator Nnamani and Hon. KGB Oguakwa, who are strongly opposed to him.
On the side of Nwodo are PDP elders and faithful including former military governors, former governorship aspirants, political office holders as well as those who dumped other political parties and joined the PDP soon after Nwodo’s emergence.  This class of politicians are also desirous to have a share of the various political offices at both state and federal levels.
