The national Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, has emphatically stated that there is no parallel executive in Enugu State, and that Mr. Ugochukwu Agballah remains the state chairman. This declaration comes despite a court order restraining Agballah from parading himself as the chairman of the party in the state.
Ganduje, represented by the Deputy National Chairman, South, Chief Emma Eneukwu, described the purported suspension of Agballah-led State Executive Committee as a nullity. He claimed that the National Secretariat of the party is aware that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is igniting a crisis in the party by using some members to render it weak and unable to mount serious opposition in the state.
Speaking on behalf of Ganduje, Eneukwu said: “There is no faction in Enugu APC. I’m the Deputy National Chairman, in the South, and nobody becomes state Chairman in the South without my knowledge. The national chairman I’m representing does not know any other person as state chairman other than Chief Ugochukwu Agballah.”
