The Abia PDP stalwart raised concerns about the proposed sanctions, particularly targeting those who opposed the party’s zoning policy. He pointed out instances where prominent members of the party openly campaigned against PDP candidates in the 2023 general election, questioning the credibility of any investigative committee that may be formed.

He also hinted at challenges facing potential candidates like Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, cautioning against unrealistic ambitions that could ultimately harm the party’s prospects.
