By Favour Goodness
The crisis rocking the Enugu state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) took another dimension on Wednesday, as police allegedly working on the orders of some ‘Abuja’ leaders of the party had cordoned off the state secretariat of the party, blocking members from attending the state Executive Committee meeting with stakeholders, organised by the State caretaker committee chairman, Dr Ben Nwoye.
It was gathered that the meeting which was scheduled to start by 10am at the Enugu State Secretariat of the Party, 126 Park Avenue, GRA Enugu is yet to commence as over 30 fierce looking armed police refused the Party faithfuls entrance into the party’s office.
Speaking with Newsmen, a member of the APC Leaders Forum, Dr Charles Ogbu said, such an act is infuriating and an affront on the dignity of the Party.
He accused Onyemucheya Nnamani of using his position as a member of the Police service commission to unleash mayhem against the Party faithfuls who came from the 260 political wards across the state.
“This is an insult to the Party as a whole because, it is coming from our acclaimed Party Leaders”
“We have been reliably informed that even the representative of the South East in the National Caretaker Committee our party, Ken Nnamani is part of this onslaught against Enugu APC and he’s using his brother to achieve this plot.
“I left a programme in Ghana to be here, because i want the Party to Progress”
“Since it has been so, we will not condone this affront on the Party any longer”
When questioned, one of the security agents stationed at the Party Secretariat , who spoke on the condition of anonymity stated that, they are “working on the instructions of our Boss.”
He stated that the reasons behind their appearance is yet unknown to them but they have been instructed not to allow the meeting to hold.
“What i can tell you is that, our boss asked us to come here”
“our mandate is to ensure that the state Party meeting did not hold.”
Enugu APC has been enmeshed in serious leadership tussle as their has been concerted efforts by some disgruntled members of the party to edge out the Dr. Ben Nwoye led Caretaker Committee.
