The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Enugu state, has commended the non participation of the people of south east in the recent #Endbadgoverance protest that took place across states of the federation.

The Party also expressed it’s readiness to participate in the scheduled October 5 local government council elections in the state.

Rising from a stakeholders’ meeting at the state party office in Enugu, the APC described as a ruse the recent purported suspension of the state Chairman of the party, Hon Ugochukwu Agballah and other executive members of the party.

The stakeholders frowned at the display of gross indiscipline and total disregard to the APC Constitution by some of it’s members it said were misguided and accepted the recommendations of its disciplinary Committee suspending 20 rebellious members from the party.

The meeting was attended by the party’s Deputy National Chairman (South), Chief Emma Eneukwu; the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Chief Uche Nnaji; the state Chairman of the party; Ugochukwu Agballah; Senator Chuka Utazi, local governments party Chairmen, among many other party members.

Part of the meeting’s communique reads: “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 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.

“The APC Enugu State is ready and will fully participate in the forthcoming Enugu State Local government Council Elections.

“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.” (Sunday Vanguard)
