An All Progressives Congress, APC, stalwart and former member of the House of Representatives, Nze Chikwem Esiaga, has decried the factional leadership crisis ravaging the Abia State chapter of the party.
Esiaga regretted that the balkanization of the party in Abia has jeopardized many chances of the party to win an election and form a government in the state. He urged the national leadership of the APC to either constitute a caretaker committee or conduct fresh congress at various levels of the party in the state, to forestall further balkanization of the party in Abia . The ex-federal lawmaker made the call in a statement made available to newsmen on Tuesday in Umuahia, the state capital.
the then national caretaker committee led by Mai Mala Buni recognized Mr Ononogbu instead of Hon Obioma who was democratically elected at Umuahia Sports Stadium triggered the genesis of the crisis and the emergence of two factions. 'Out of anger and much later on, Obioma left for labour party with Dr Alex Otti. His then deputy, Hon Goldie Opusunju Wabara took over as the factional chairman till date.
