The parley to which Governor Chris Ngige, his estranged political godfather, Chief Chris Uba, National Assembly members from the state and other major stakeholders in the politics of the area have been invited, would evolve a lasting formula for enduring peace in the state. According to the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Venatius Ikem, who confirmed that the talks would hold today, several issues that have been posing problems, especially between the political camps of Governor Ngige and Chief Uba, should be resolved. Among these issues, he said, in a telephone interview with Daily Champion yesterday, are the question of the party’s council poll candidates, a date for the local government election, modalities for putting in place a state executive committee for the party and the issue of the lifting of the suspension placed on Chief Uba in the wake of the July 10, last year’s attempt to abduct and remove Gov. Ngige from office. According to Ikem, the meeting would have held last week, but for the nationwide fuel price strike which compelled the governor as chief security officer to stay back in Awka, the state capital to ensure that the strike did not get out of hand in the area. Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the governor, Mr Fred Chukwuelobe, also yesterday, confirmed to Daily Champion on telephone that the governor was already on his way to Abuja to attend the meeting and that the question of reconciliation of certain outstanding issues, especially the date and list of the PDP’s candidates for the council poll, would feature prominently at the meeting. � 2004 @ Champion Newspapers Limited (All Right Reserved).
