The party wondered why the PDP would 'see such a noble call as disruptive and destructive to the good governance of Abia State'.
"What offence did Hon Chijioke Chukwu commit? He only asked the perpetually indebted PDP administration led by Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, to pay his workers and pensioners to enable them enjoy the Easter holiday as he and other politicians did with their families.
" What's wrong with such a statement or call that should even attract applause?
" Why must the PDP think that everybody is mad in this state?
"Why must workers be owed while government officials go about enjoying themselves? the statement queried.
