This affirmation was strongly made, after the party’s stakeholders meeting held at the state secretariat in Enugu on 24th August 2024.
A communique duly signed by Sen. Chuka Utazi was read and adopted with the following resolutions reached ,
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, Hon. Ugochukwu 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 that the actors were 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.
These people have long been working against the party in the state and they were instigated and sponsored by members of other political parties in the state as part of their already known strategy to destabilize APC and keep it in perpetual crisis.
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.
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.
The stakeholders went ahead to accept the recommendations of the Disciplinary Committee suspending the actors from the party.
The following persons implicated in the gross misconduct, includes : Uche Egbonwonu Nkanu East, Chibuike Onoduagu igbo-etiti, Ubah onah, igbo’eze South, Clifford Ezeama Nsukka, Agnes Agu Enugu East, Paul Olinya Isi uzo, among others. .
. They were invited by the Disciplinary Committee to state their position but they refused to come.
An eight-man Committee to review the case of those who were earlier suspended by the party but, have now indicated interest to return to the party. 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
The stakeholders sent hearty congratulations to the Governor of Imo State, H.E Sen. Hope Uzodinma over his resounding victory at the Supreme Court
The Enugu APC stakeholders also commended the people of the south east for distancing themselves from the revent national protest .
The party also says it is fully ready for the forthcoming local government elections in the state.
The stakeholders encouraged the teeming party faithful in the state to keep faith with the party and not relent in holding their regular meetings at the Wards and Local Government Areas. The party and the federal government will not disappoint them.
