APC seeks chairman’s sack

Aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State have called for the removal of their Chairman, Dr. Ben Nwoye.

In a petition to the party’s National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the aggrieved members accused Nwoye of mismanagement and incompetence.

They also identified improper financial management and high-handedness as reasons why APC in the state performed poorly in the elections.

They said the party’s leadership mismanaged campaign funds, running into about N400 million.



The aggrieved members – Ude Adolphus C. (Deputy Chairman), Chris Ezeh (Secretary), Ikechukwu Oloto (Youth Leader) and Queen Nwankwo (Women Leader), blamed the Dr. Nwoye, for the state’s abysmal performance.

They said Nwoye disregarded Oyegun’s directive to reinstate the woman leader and the deputy chairman.

The members noted that since Nwoye came, money sent from the Abuja National Office, and funds donated by party members had not been properly accounted for.

They allege that Nwoye’s dictatorial tendencies excluded stakeholders from the party’s activities.

“Sir, for the interest and progress of the party, we call for a proper investigation of the management of the party in the state. During this period, Nwoye should step aside for free and fair investigation”, the members said.
