JUST IN: ENUGU APC ISSUED A COMMUNIQUE AT THE END OF THEIR STAKEHOLDERS MEETING HELD AT STATE SECRETARIAT, 49B ONYEABOR STREET GRA ENUGU ON SATURDAY 24TH AUGUST 2024
The meeting frowned at the recent display of gross indiscipline and total disregard to the APC Constitution by some misguided party members who met in an hotel and purportedly announced the suspension of the Enugu state Chairman of APC, The Hon. Ugochukwu H. Agballah; the State Deputy Chairman, Chief Augustine Alumonah; the State Treasurer, Hon Jude Aniogbo and the State Organising Secretary, Hon. Emeka Eze. The stakeholders observed as follows:
i. that the actors are only 14 in number but they went ahead to forge peoples signatures and append their names as if they were part of the illegality, without their consent.
ii. That these are people who have long been working with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state and they were instigated and sponsored by PDP as a part of her already known strategy to destabilize APC and keep it in perpetual crisis.
iii. That more than 35 persons whose signatures were forged and names appended in the purported suspension document without their consent have issued a disclaimer distancing themselves from the illegality.
2. The stakeholders further observed that the purported suspension did not follow due process as no meeting was held, no petition was written and it was never discussed at SEC and the national levels were never notified, no fact finding was made in accordance with the party's Constitution before the purported announcement of illegal suspension.
3. The stakeholders hereby accept the recommendations of the Disciplinary Committee suspending the actors from the party. The following persons implicated in the gross misconduct, including;
1. Nkanu East: Uche Egbonwonu

The following persons who took the party to Court some years ago against the Party's Constitution, are therefore directed to appear before the Committee set up in their Local Government Area.

The stakeholders further commend him for his outstanding leadership of the party in the South East zone.
6. The Enugu APC stakeholders thanked Ndigbo for not participating in the recent protest against the government of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu. We have absolute confidence in the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President.
7. The APC Enugu State is ready and will fully participate in the forthcoming Enugu State Local government Council Elections.
