PPA boss calls for interest in party restructuring

The National Chairman of the Progressive Peoples Alliance, Chief Sam Nkire, has advised the six zonal and thirty-six state chairmen of the party, including Abuja, to take serious interest in the current restructuring going on at the ward level of the party.
Nkire, who spoke at the end of the party’s National Working Committee meeting in Abuja, said there would no longer be an extension of time, adding that defaulting chairmen would face sanctions if they do not comply within the stipulated timeframe.
According to the national chairman, every member of PPA would be able to access his or her ward chairman or executive committee via PPA website before long.
On the 2014 Anambra State governorship election, Chief Nkire said the party had learnt a bitter lesson from its 2010 experience in the state, adding that PPA would give preference to long-suffering, loyal and popular members the next time around.
Chief Nkire regretted that his party lost the last governorship election in Anambra State, which he said it ought to have won, adding: “Bad history will not be allowed to repeat itself in 2014.”
