Ugo Agballa, a factional chairman, to destabilize the party.<\/p>\n<p>The stakeholders, however, urged the national leadership of the APC to respect the wishes of the people in line with the zoning arrangement put in place by the party in the State.<\/p>\n<p>They said in the communique that \u201cwe are determined and committed to reinvigorate and reposition our dear party in Enugu State to become a viable party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat we have decided to join hands and work together for this singular purpose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat we are tired of the avoidable and unending factionalization of the APC in Enugu State, by anti APC leaders, which has made it impossible for the party to win even a councilorship election in the State<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat we represent major interests in the APC in Enugu State with the sole aim of achieving equity, fairness and justice, invaluable ingredients that guarantee growth, inclusiveness and electoral victory in any political association.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat we stand on the Zoning Resolution of the APC in Enugu State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat we reaffirm that the position of APC Enugu State Chairman remains zoned to Enugu West Senatorial zone and further micro-zoned to Aninri\/Awgu\/Ojii River Federal Constituency also known as Greater Awgu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat Greater Awgu should be allowed to present a candidate(s) for the Office of APC State Chairman, just like other Federal Constituencies presented candidates for positions micro-zoned to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat we are united in this stand with other major stakeholders of APC in Enugu West, including but not limited to His Excellency Sullivan Iheanacho Chime, former Governor of Enugu State, Emperor Baywood lbe, a major financier of the party, Mrs Juliet Ibekaku Nwagwu, Special Assistant to the President on Justice Reform, Mr Osita Okechukwu, DG Voice of Nigeria, Group Captain Joe Oji (PhD) and Hon Chikwado Chukwunta<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat no one has been given a certificate of return or inauguration as the state chairman of APC in Enugu State by the national chairman for the year 2021 Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They cautioned that \u201cUgochukwu Agballa should stop parading himself as State Chairman, as he did participate in any constitutional or legitimate APC congress on the 16th of September, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat the said Ugochukwu Agballa is not a registered member of APC in Enugu State and can not vote or be voted for in any APC congress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat documents Ugochukwu Agballa presented, purporting his membership of APC are fake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat the National Headquarters of APC should through its National Reconciliation committee urgently wade into the crisis created by the Dr Ijomah Arodiogbu Congress Committee in Enugu State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat any result forwarded to the National Headquarters of APC by the fraudulent Dr ljomah Arodiogbu Congress Committee purporting to be the result of the Enugu APC State Congress should be disregarded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat we continue to call on members of APC in Enugu State to remain calm and law abiding as we have confidence in the leadership of the APC to amicably resolve this unnecessary crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat we are resolute in our determination to resist the efforts of PDP agents and disgruntled enemies within our party working with them, to hijack the APC through Ugo Agballa for their selfish interests and destructive agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
