The fragile peace in the Enugu State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) might have collapsed, yesterday, as thugs invaded the party’s state secretariat and disrupted the meeting of the State Working Committee (SWC).
The thugs, numbering over 100 and brandishing dangerous objects, disrupted the meeting shortly after an indefinite suspension was slammed on Eugene Odo, Ada Ogbu, Flavour Eze and El-Aja over their alleged role in the party’s ward congress, held last Saturday, leading to the denial of voting materials to members.
APC Caretaker Committee Chairman, Dr Ben Nwoye, while addressing the meeting, said the suspension followed the recommendations of a committee set up by the state executive to investigate the conduct of the men during the ward congress. But while Nwoye was announcing the suspension of the members, another group of party members, led by Deputy Chairman, Caretaker Committee, Prince Gilbert Chukwunta, which met at a location in the state, passed a vote-of-no confidence on him and announced his removal as chairman of the party.They said Nwoye contravened the party’s guidelines for the ward congress by “declaring the results and swearing in ward executives” when the national leadership of the APC had not given such approval.
Those that came there were deceived into inaugurating the purported elected ward executives. That is why we are dissociating ourselves from the aberration in the party secretariat.”
