A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, in Lagos State, Joe Igbokwe, has expressed worry over the class of people the party recognises, stressing that APC reward system is poor.
Though Igbokwe didn’t mention why he made the statement, but it’s coming shortly after the party released its Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) for the 2023 general elections.
The 422-member council list, was released on Friday by the PCC Secretary, James Faleke; a member of the House of Representatives.
The likes of Femi Fani Kayode, who defected to the APC last year and Senator representing Enugu East Senatorial District, Chimaroke Nnamani, who is a member of the PDP and the candidate of the party (PDP) for Enugu East senatorial zone made the list.
Reacting, Igbokwe in a post on his Facebook page said, ”All things considered APC Nigeria poor reward system in Nigeria worries me to the marrows.
”The party rewards idle people, hangers-on, layabouts, interlopers, cowards, onlookers etc.”
After 48 hours the list was released, the former governor of Enugu State is yet to distance himself from the inclusion of his name in the list.
The Chief spokesperson of the APC presidential campaign council, Festus Keyamo dismissed insinuations that the name of Senator Nnamani appeared as a member of their Campaign Council in error.
Appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Sunday, the junior minister of Labour said there has not been any refutal from the other side (Chimaroke Nnamani’s), adding that that’s where it should come from if the addition of that name is rejected.
