All seems not to be well as the Coalition of All Progressives Congress (APC) Local Government (LG ) Chairmen in Enugu State has backed the impeachment of the former Acting Caretaker Committee Chairman of the party, Mr Ben Nwoye.
The Leader of the group and Coordinating Chairman of APC LG Chairmen in the state, Mr. Jude Anyadire, said this on Thursday when he led 12 other chairmen on a solidarity visit to the current Acting Caretaker Committee Chairman, Mr Chikwado Chukwunta, in Enugu.
Anyadire described the emergence of Chukwunta as the tonic that would usher in peace and stability in the state chapter of the party.
He expressed the hope that all the in-house bickering, which factionalised APC, would become a thing of the past.
Also, the APC chairman in Isi-Uzo LGA, Mr Titus Nnamani, said it was sad that the party lost its voice in the past years.
“We have people like former Senate President, Chief Ken Nnamani, former Gov. Sullivan Chime, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Geoffrey Onyeama, and former House of Assembly Speaker, Mr Eugene Odoh, in the party.
“These are some of the best the state has ever produced. Yet, we have not won elections due to self-inflicted crisis,” Nnamani said.
Responding, Chukwunta said he was on a rescue mission, having understood the challenges the party had passed through.
Mr. Chukwuntathe, who is the former Acting Vice Chairman of APC in the state, said that he would do everything possible to unite the members and run an administration that would lead the party to greater height.
When contacted, Nwoye described his impeachment as a ruse, saying that he was still in charge, describing those who impeached him as “imposters”.
