With less than two months to the general elections, aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress, Enugu State Chapter, have accused the party chairman in the state, Ugochukwu Agballah and the governorship candidate, Uche Nnaji, of embezzling over N1.3 billion belonging to the party.
“There is also the issue of hijacking of the funds provided for preparation for the forthcoming 11th January 2023 presidential rally in Enugu and visit by our presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima.
They also demanded a change of leadership in the state, saying, “we are calling for the immediate removal of Agballah as the chairman of the APC in Enugu State and the appointment of a caretaker chairman to pilot the party through the 2023 general elections. “We call on the national leadership of the APC to cause Agballah and Nnaji to immediately account for the sum of N283 million released to them for the Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms for all the elective offices in Enugu in the 2023 general election.
