As the crisis in the Enugu State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) deepens, its state executive committee (SEC) has set up a five-man disciplinary committee to look into petitions and reports of fact-finding committees that investigated allegations of anti-party activities levelled against former Senate President, Ken Nnamani and two other members of the party in the state.
The disciplinary committee, which is headed by the State Assistant Legal Adviser, Barr. Vincent Chieyina and Secretary, Hon Jekwu Nnaji, is to invite Senator Nnamani and two others, namely a former Commissioner in Enugu State, Ozor Joe Mmamel and Mr. Nelson Maduka Arum to answer the charges against them.
Ngwu said,"The Party is fully aware of the nefarious activities of the previous administration of the Party in the 2015 and 2019 General Elections. "Sen. Nnamani was represented by Ben Nwoye, an expelled former Chairman of Enugu state APC who has been working against the candidate of APC , and Mr Maduka Arum, aka Mama, an acolyte and head of Ken Nnamani Political group.
"The Electoral Act in Section 92 stipulates that no candidate or aspirant should employ masquerades for any purpose during the campaign. On record, Ken Nnamani brought masquerade to the airport and ordered them to go to the rally. Thank God for the diligence of our Youth Wing, who ensured that Ken Nnamani's branded masquerade did not make it to the campaign event. That action would have sabotaged and put our presidential candidate in legal jeopardy," the party noted.
