Enugu APC crisis: Nnamani’s ward, kinsmen warn Agballah

The All Progressives Congress (APC), Ward 2, Enugu South LGA, has thrown its weight behind former President of the Senate, Senator Ken Nnamani, in the crisis rocking the State chapter of the party.

The Amechi Uwani Awkunanaw Ward, which is the home of the former Senate number one man, has also warned the state leadership of the party against acts of disrespect to Nnamani and other leaders of the party in the State.

These were contained in a statement signed by the ward executives and stakeholders and released to newsmen on Saturday.

This comes against the backdrop of the announcement by the State secretary of the party, Dr. Robert Ngwu, of the resolution of the State Executive Committee of the Enugu APC setting up a disciplinary committee headed by the State Assistant Legal Adviser, Vincent Chieyina, to invite Nnamani as well as a former Commissioner in Enugu State, Ozor Mmamel, and Mr Nelson Arum, to answer to charges of alleged anti-party activities levelled against them.

But in a statement jointly signed by 28 party stakeholders and executives, including the Ward Chairman, Comrade Christopher Okenwa; Ward Secretary, Engr. Sunday Nnamani; former Enugu South Council Chairman and Federal Board Chairman, Prince Uche Edeh; and a party leader, Prince Joe Agbo, Nnamani’s kinsmen dismissed the allegation as “mere hot air”.

They urged leaders of the party and members of the public to disregard it.

The statement read: “The APC, Ward 2 (Amechi Uwani Awkunanaw), at an emergency meeting of the party held at the party’s secretariat/Ward office today, Friday, 27 January, 2023 by 5pm resolved to state as follows:

“His Excellency, Sen. Ken Nnamani is a bona fide member of the APC in this Ward.

“As a member of this Ward, he has been found very worthy, financially supportive, strong by character, and has always shown strength whenever and wherever it comes to party values and matters
