PDP in trouble?
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that barely five months to the conduct of the Anambra governorship election, the PDP was yet to find its root in the state.
There was a palpable fear among the members following the emergence of two chairmen of the party in the state.
Legit.ng gathered that an Abuja high court had removed the current state chairman of the party, Chief Ndubuisi Nwobu, and ruled that Ejike Oguebego should take his position.
The judgment, which came two weeks to the conduct of the governorship primary election of the party, had created fear and apprehension among the 16 governorship aspirants of the party.

It was gathered that Oguebego has announced the postponement of the ward delegates election even when the committee set up for the exercise had arrived and were set to conduct the election.
Speaking on the development on Thursday, June 10, Nwobu described the judgment as an effort in futility, adding that the courts were on strike and that had long withdrawn from the matter.
