What was it? Twenty-one Political Leaders, drawn mainly from six National Political Associations existing in Abia State, came together and Convened the newly-formed Peoples Democratic Party in the State."

He revealed that " Two meetings were scheduled for the day. The first meeting took place about 10 am at Seabia Hotel Complex, Aba Road, Umuahia. The meeting nearly resulted into a free-for-all. At the end, you can trust politicians, it ended peacefully.The second meeting took place at Nwannedinamba Hall, at 25 Macaulay Street, Umuahia, at 1 pm."
