…Raises alarm over plot to thwart the zoning arrangement
The Enugu State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC has reiterated her earlier position that the party has zoned their governorship ticket to Enugu-east senatorial zone in the 2023 general elections.
The party restated this after their zoom meeting on Sunday while revealing that some persons that joined their fold recently are out to thwart this resolution of the party for their selfish gains.
Speaking to journalists after the meeting, the publicity secretary of the party, Mrs Kate Ofor said they needed to make the clarification ahead of the state Congress.
She recalled that in June, during their meeting with Distinguished Senator Jonathan Zwingina led Registration and Revalidation Panel, leaders of the party across the state resolved that;
“We hereby clarify that all party offices zoned to the East Senatorial District is now zoned to West Senatorial District and all party offices zoned to the West is now zoned to the North Senatorial District and all those zoned to North is now zoned to East Senatorial District.”
It will be recalled that in 2014, the APC Enugu State Offices zoned party offices thus: –

Mrs Ofor also said that the party resolved to call on President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, to Save Our Soul from Senator Ken Nnamani and Co; who want to SHUT OUT APC foundation legacy members in Enugu State and undermine the agreement reached earlier.
“Foundation members of APC in the Enugu State has gradually improved the electoral fortunes of our great party from 2015 to 2019 general elections; we need to improve more especially with registration of new members. However, we wish to appeal that the flagrant breach of Article 20 of the APC Constitution by Senator Ken Nnamani’s imposition called consensus be urgently addressed before
the October 2, 2021 State Congress.”
“Our understanding is that Senator Ken Nnamani and Co’s devious plan is to SHUT OUT APC foundation legacy members in Enugu State.”
Asked why there’s no noise from the other states like in Enugu State?
Mrs Ofor answered, “I don’t know. The danger is that we are in liberal democracy where some might keep quiet and their marginalized members’ votes may not. This is why we are calling on Mr President to come to our rescue.
His Excellency, M.M.Buni as a foundation legacy member knows how we toiled, sweated and sacrificed to build the Brand APC. While Nnamani and Co were in PDP’s Comfort Zone. We also need Buni’s deft reconciliation tactics. For Nnamani and Co did not bring anything to the table, neither electoral value, nor people nor money.”
Asked about the new Reconciliation Committee headed by Senator Adamu Abdullahi? Mrs Ofor shouted,
“We have nothing against Distinguished Senator Adamu; but there is a Big Elephant in the Committee, Senator Nnamani’s handgun-surrogate is posted there. He is His Excellency, Sullivan Chime a product of imposition. He was imposed as a governor by Distinguished Senator Chimaroke Nnamani, so for him, imposition is consensus.”
