The party which held its inauguration Thursday at Emmaus House was filled with party members in all the 21 local government areas in the state, also, passed vote of no confidence on the National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Chief Olisah Metuh.
In a motion which was moved by former Deputy Majority leader in the state House of Assembly Uche Ogbonna and seconded by former Commissioner for Commerce, Industry and Tourism, Ken Arinze, said the decision was based on Metuh’s fraudulent, anti party activities and ridiculing of the party in the state.
