The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Working Committee (NWC) has finally granted former Abia State governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, special waiver, We can authoritatively reveal.
The former Abia State governor is a senatorial aspirant in Abia State.
Checks by Us revealed that Orji Kalu had applied for waiver since January but he was denied by the state chapter of the party.
A source further revealed that the national leadership of the party also directed that the former governor be screened in Abuja in the ongoing screening of National Assembly aspirants.
The source noted that having applied for a waiver since January, it would have amounted to injustice to deny the former governor a chance because, those who applied after him, had since been granted.
It was gathered that the party’s National Working Committee was worried that the intransigence of Abia State Governor, Theodore Orji and the pliable state chapter of the party could undermine the fortunes of PDP in the forthcoming general elections.
Daily Sun source also justified the privilege given to Orji Kalu to be screened in Abuja.
He said: “The NWC has powers to form a special committee. There is no problem about that.
“Why the idea came up, was to avoid any likely breach of the peace between the supporters of the governor and Dr. Kalu.”
