The South-east women’s caucus of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) has began campaign against erstwhile senator Uche Ekwunife, in the rerun to elect the senator that will represent Anambra Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly under the party

Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the deputy national women leader of APC, Mrs. Tina Ekwueme-Adike, lamented that female defectors have made it a habit of joining the party without acknowledging the women leaders, stressing that it was wrong in the principles of protocol.

“it is wrong in the principles of protocol that female decampees should decamp their parties to join APC without acknowledging the women leaders including the national women leader”

Ekwueme-Adike further stated that the party constitution was specific on the issue of membership to be fulfilled by defectors and that should be enforced without half measures.

“in the constitution of our great party, there are specifications for membership which I believe that decampees have fulfilled, but it is very sad that the other aspects – the need to queue behind founding members do not hold for them”

She however said that any registered and financially up to date member has rights and privileges but stressed that the rights of founding members should be paramount and respected.

“New members are highly welcome and we embrace them not minding their utterances during the electioneering campaign.

“On behalf of my national women leader, the entire APC women Leaders, I call on incoming members to do the right thing” the statement said.
