From Ifeoma Ejiofor
The new executive of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State led by Chief Ifeanyichukwu Osegbo has taken over from the leadership of Sen. Emma Anosike.
Chief Oswego while addressing party faithful at the APC Secretariat in Awka assured that his leadership would be known for harmony, and transparency.
He said as a matter of fact that he would never expel anyone noting that party democracy was all about people, large membership and more members adding that he would transform Anambra State into APC winning State.
According to him, “beginning with the fast approaching 2027 general election, APC under my leadership will become a winning party in Anambra State henceforth, we will ensure that all APC candidates from all President Bola Ahmed Tinubu down to the State Assembly win the 2027 general election.
“I will run an all-inclusive leadership, every member of APC in the State will be carried along. We will strengthen our relationship with our National Working Committee (NWC) to unify the party ,the more in Anambra State. We will also strengthen grassroot mobilization ahead 2027.
“My leadership will harp on the need for the grassroot leaders to see APC in their locality as a one big united political family, the task ahead is to unite our members and ensure that president Tinubu and all our candidates in Anambra State wins overwhelmingly in 2027.”
The inaugural meeting of Osegbo led Executive Council which also featured the inauguration of 2027 Election Planning and Winning Committee was moderated by the State Publicity Secretary, Hon Tony Ezekwelu.
Osegbo took control of the party secretariat consequent upon an Abuja Federal High Court judgment order which recognized his executive line-up as being the legitimate executive leadership in the state.
Meanwhile, the Sen Emma Anosike faction of APC has however accused Police operatives attached to Zone 13, Ukpo of being used to facilitate Osegbo’s takeover of the party secretariat despite the fact that an application for a stay of execution had already been filed against the court judgment.
The PPRO for Zone 13, ASP Chidera Oha in a sharp reaction to the allegation of being used by the new APC leadership, dismissed the argument insisting that it has no involvement in partisan politics and should not be dragged into the internal affairs of any political party..
