A former Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Enugu State Chapter, Dr Ben Nwoye has appealed to the SouthEast Zonal Chairman of the party, Dr. Ijeomah Arodiogbu to set up a committee to investigate alleged abuses against major stakeholders of the party.
NewsBits reports that among the names of the stakeholders said to have been abused by the State chairman of the party, Ugochukwu Agballah, as revealed by Nwoye are: former Senate President, Ken Nnamani, ex-Governor Sullivan Chime, among others. Nwoye made the appeal on Tuesday while reacting to the resolutions from a meeting of the APC Stakeholders attended by the state Chairman of the party, Agballah and others, recently.
NewsBits recalls that the stakeholders had, during the meeting, expressed their readiness to reconsider the the expulsion and suspension of some members of the party including Nnamani, Chime and others. Nwoye urged Arodiogbu to caution Agballah for the way he has been reportedly abusing key state stakeholders of the party and incessant announcement of suspensions.
The immediate past chairman of the APC appealed to Arodiogbu to see himself as a father to everybody and reconcile everybody to enable the party to perform better in future elections. Nwoye further expressed sadness over some weighty allegations against the Federal Commissioner representing Enugu State in the Federal Character Commission, Mrs Ginika Tor, by Agballah, saying it was becoming embarrassing to the party.
“I’m appealing to the Southeast Zonal Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Dr Ijeomah Arodiogbu to set up a committee and investigate Ugo Agballah for abusing Senator Ken Nnamani and former Governor Sullivan Chime. They don’t deserve the abuses that Agballah is giving to them, we need to rebuild APC in Enugu State; we need to come together so that we will do better in future elections,” Nwoye said.
Although there was no congress that led to the emergence of Ugochukwu Agballah as chairman, there was need for him to unite the party since the party had accepted him as its leader, according to Nwoye.
