Anambra State PDP chairman, Chidi Chidebe, after the State Executive committee meeting of the party, accused the candidate of what he calls “manipulative misconducts” during the electioneering period, noting that his actions during and after the election has vindicated their concerns.
Chidebe, also alleged extortions by the Governorship candidates, pointing out that after deliberations, the State Executive committee resolved to immediately suspend Nwaforfrom PDP for a period of one month.
