APC ‘II soon take over: Former Senate President Ken Nnamani believes the success of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Ward Congresses in the South East indicates that the party will soon take control of the South-East region.
Nnamani made the remarks while speaking with reporters in Enugu’s Amechi Awkunanaw on Saturday, shortly after supervising the ward congress in Ward 2 of the state’s Enugu South Local Government Area (LGA).
He stated that the large turnout and demeanour of APC supporters demonstrated that the people believed in and trusted democracy.
“They also believe that with the continued struggle of democracy, things will inevitably improve and their lives will improve,” he said.
Nnamani, a member of the APC National Caretaker Working Committee, urged party supporters to maintain the same spirit in order for the party to reclaim its rightful place in the South-East.
“The main goal is for the APC to become the most powerful political party in the South-East.
“We’re getting there gradually, especially with the solid foundation we’ve laid at the ward levels of the party now,” he said.
He thanked the state’s party faithful for smooth and family-style ward congresses.
“It is only in APC that you see this type of peace and cooperation among party members,” he said.
Speaking, Dr Ijeomah Arodiogbu, Leader, National Congress Monitoring Committee for the state, congratulated the people for a peaceful and purposeful election of wards executives.
According to Arodiogbu, what we have witnessed here and other parts of the state we had been monitoring since morning is pure democracy in action.
“Election is a process. Our APC faithful have keyed in into the process by getting the grassroots, which is the ward level, right and electing dependable hands as executives.
“The future is bright and with the recorded success so far, APC is ready to take over the lion building, Enugu and other seats of power in the South-East come 2023 general election,’’ he said.
Earlier, on a harmonised list arrangement, Mr Christopher Okenwa and Mr Nweke Abonyi emerged Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Enugu South LGA Ward 2 respectively.
Mr Nnaji Nnamani emerged as Secretary as well as 24 other elected executive members following a unanimous and unopposed voice vote of yes.
In his acceptance speech, Okenwa assured APC stakeholders that the executive would deliver 100 per cent electoral votes en bloc to the party in the various polling booths in the ward.
“We will not disappoint the party in this golden opportunity given to us to serve and we are going to work hard for the continuous success of the party,” he said.
