To this end, the party has expressed its readiness  to petition the United States of America, USA,  Government ,and other major partners of Nigeria in the democratic project in the days ahead to draw their attention to the potential threat posed to the growth and development of  democracy in the country by the ABHA Leadership and their backers in the Executive Arm .

The Acting Vice Chairman/ Publicity Secretary, Comrade Abraham Amah who  made this known in an exclusive interview with this Magazine on Monday February 12 2024, said for refusing to swear- in Hon Aaron Uzodike of the PDP as a member of the State Legislative Body, three clear months after being declared the duly elected member representing the good people of Aba North State Constituency by a Court of Competent jurisdiction,the Speaker and the leadership of ABHA have eloquently shown themselves as enemies of rule of law and democracy.

According to Comrade Amah, the PDP Abia State in its proposed petition will be seeking for the inclusion of the Speaker, the leadership of the House and their identified backers in the Executive arm on the Visa and Traval Ban list of the USA and other Western democracies.

“We are going to request for a Visa and Travel ban on the Speaker ,the leadership of the ABHA and all those who are encouraging them to continue to  undermine the Country,s democratic project.

“It is absolutely unfathomable ,why the ABHA will  refuse to  swear -in our candidate, Hon Uzodike after being declared duly elected by the Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos since November 2023.

“It is clear to all that in National and State Assembly  matters , the Court of Appeal is the last bus stop..Now having being declared winner and ,issued with a certificate of return by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC ,it beats our imagination why the leadership of  ABHA  has refuse to swear- in Hon Aaron Uzodike

“We view the actions of the Speaker and  leadership of the state Assembly as a big challenge and threat to our democracy..

“As a party ,guided  by the principles of rule law ,and populated by democrats we  are  appealing to all  lovers of democracy in the  country and the world at large to rise up  and condemn this blatant act of disregard for the law by the ABHA.
