Enugu APC backs Izunaso, 2 others

All Progressives Congress (APC) Enugu state chapter, has endorsed its current national Vice Chairman, South-East, Chief Emma Eneukwu.
The endorsement was announced in a communique issued after a meeting at the party’s secretariat yesterday.
They also disclosed support for the current national organizing secretary of the party, Senator Osita Izunaso and the national auditor of the party, Chief George Moghalu.
State chairman of the party, Dr. Ben Nwoye, who read the communique issued at the end of the meeting, which was also attended by the State Working Committee members of the party, said all the existing zoning arrangements of the party remains.
The development is not unconnected to a press statement issued by a certain group in the state, which is rooting for Chief Onyemuche Nnamani as Eneukwu’s replacement.
But the party said such people should be discountenanced as they were only merely in a task to destabilize the APC in the State and eventually deny President Muhammadu Buhari votes in 2019.
The communique read in part, “Chief Hon. Emma Eneukwu having performed excellently well and being an indigene of Udi Local Government Area has the support of the entire Enugu State delegates to the APC national convention.
“That we condemn in totality any attempt by anybody no matter how highly placed to destabilize the agreed zoning arrangement in the State, previously established by leaders of the party in 2014, as it relates to party positions.
“That we commend the national convention committee of the APC in all of its efforts in planning a hitchfree national convention.
