From PETRUS OBI, Enugu
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South-East zone has dissociated itself from the party congress organised in Anambra State by some aggrieved members of the party led by a senator at the Women Development Centre, Awka last Friday.
In a statement by the spokesman, Osita Okechukwu, in Enugu yesterday, it was alleged that the APC South-East upheld the earlier Anambra State Congress held on April 26 at the Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
Okechukwu accused the organisers of the congress of plotting to de-stabilise APC in Anambra State and scuttle its case before the governorship election petition tribunal sitting in Awka.
He appealed to members of the party in the state to join hands with Senator Chris Ngige as leader of the party in Anambra State.
Okechukwu maintained that there was no faction in Anambra APC, describing the purported congress as a gathering of disloyal politicians being used by external forces to destabilize the party.
