Princess Adaeze Nwoye Udeji, daughter of the traditional ruler of ancient Nenwe Kingdomin Aninri local government area of Enugu State, Igwe I.O.M Nwoye, has formally joined the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Princess Nwoye Udeji was admitted into the party at Emudo, Nenwe ward III by Dr Ben Nwoye, the Caretaker state Chairman of APC Enugu State who led other leaders of the party to the event on Sunday, 21st March, 2021.
Speaking shortly after completing her registration, the new entrant said she joined APC with a view to encouraging women full participation in the party, so that the women folk can rightly get their fair share in the party.
She called on women to join APC enmass in the state, stressing that with total commitment, they party will get to it’s desired destination in the state.
In his remark, Dr. Ben Nwoye hailed the new entrant for her display of courage in joining the party in the open and doing so with her numerous supporters.
The Chairman, noted that people of Aninri Council area have every reason to be in the APC as they have so many Chieftains such as former Military governor of old Gombe state, Group Captain Joe Orji; a member of the Revenue Mobilization and Fiscal Commission, Mrs Maria Aniobi, among others in the party.
Speaking on the influx of people into the party at the ongoing registration and revalidation exercise, Nwoye said the reckless Gubernatorial Pension Bill by the lawmakers in the House of Assembly has further helped in the growth of the party in the state as the people are seeing more reasons to leave the PDP.
He said the Executive bill which had gone through first reading in the House of Assembly before it was stepped down by the lawmakers, following public outcry, showed that the ruling people Democratic party PDP in the state is insensitive to the plight of the suffering masses of the state.
The Chairman called on the electorate in the locality and state at large to embrace the Nigeria’s ruling party, noting that with such anti human proposed bill, it has become clear and obvious that PDP as a political party, does not wish the poor suffering citizens of the state well, or have their interest at heart.
“You can agree with me that slowly, and steadily, the Enugu people are rejecting the PDP, this bill has shown that the party has no shame,” Nwoye declared.
While urging the electorate and progressive minds in the state to join the APC enmass in its ongoing registration/ revalidation exercise, Nwoye, said the party is committed in addressing the political and economic challenges presently facing the nation.
In her remark, Lolo Queen Nwankwo, the woman leader of Contact and Mobilisation Committee of Enugu State APC urged Princess Nwoye to ensure that the women of the council remains as one as that’s one of the duties she owes the party as a loving mother.
