The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party appeared to have worsened with its National Woman Leader, Prof. Stella Effah-Attoe, raising the alarm that she had been sidelined and her office undermined. The allegation came as the party battled to wriggle out of crises that erupted since its presidential primary.
Effah-Attoe raised the allegation in a leaked memo she sent to the National Working Committee of the PDP, citing two detailed instances to back her claim.
The memo, titled: โDeliberate attempts to undermine my office, office of the national woman leader and to sideline my humble person: An unacceptable hindrance,โ was exclusively obtained by The PUNCH on Tuesday in Abuja.
According to her, it became very clear that over time, there had been โseveral attempts made at undermining my officeโ, the office of the PDP National Woman Leader.
She said, โThe most recent attempts were as follows:
At the flag off ceremony of the PDP campaigns in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on October 10, 2022, here, serious attempts were made to prevent me from addressing the PDP audience at the Uyo stadium.
It must be stated here that it is a customary tradition in our party for the National Woman Leader and the National Youth Leader, to address rallies in conjunction with party candidates, party chairmen et al.
