Despite the ruling of the Supreme Court that ended the leadership tussle in the PDP at the national level, this news website has observed that key stakeholders in the party still remain very much divided, a situation which puts a blur on the much trumpeted reconciliatory moves
Investigations reveal that polarization of the party remains very evident. This can be justified with the posture of the Ali Modu Sherrif backed Nnamdi Anyaehie group who insist they remain at the helm of affairs of the party in the State.
The party in Imo state judging from findings remain divided along three groups- the Ihedioha group, the Hope Uzodinma group. A new force, the True Democrats are also very strong in the party though feigning non allegiance.
This website conducted an investigation which showed alignments of party leaders and stakeholders. The investigation was limited to critical stakeholders of the party who peddle a lot of influence.
