APC Chairman Takes Firm Stand Against Anti-Party Activities in Enugu North
The APC in Enugu North has issued a stern warning to members engaging in anti-party conduct. Zonal Chairman, Hon. Chimezie Abugu (Bright), condemned recent remarks by Senator Chukwuka Utazi, who praised Governor Peter Mbah’s administration, calling it a betrayal of the party’s core principles.
“This is not just misguided; it is a betrayal of the principles we stand for. We cannot allow our party to be undermined by those who publicly disgrace themselves by supporting the opposition,” Abugu said.
Abugu emphasized that such actions will not be tolerated and warned that those engaging in anti-party activities will face severe consequences, including expulsion. He stressed that the APC is committed to unity and progress, stating, “Anti-party activities are a direct attack on the unity of our party, and we will take action against anyone involved.”
Further, Abugu addressed members who act in bad faith, referencing the Igbo saying, “Ndi meremere n’iru, kwampete n’azu,” meaning those who appear loyal but betray in private. “The time for tolerating such behavior is over,” he declared, reiterating the party’s “No Mole Agenda.”
With the 2027 elections approaching, Abugu made it clear that only those fully committed to the APC’s vision would remain in the party. “If you wish to sow discord, know that you will have no place in our party,” he warned.
Abugu’s statement echoes the words of Winston Churchill: “There is no greater thing you can do for your country than to remain loyal to your party.”
