A leadership crisis is brewing in the Abia State chapter of
the All Progressives Congress, following allegations of misconduct against the
chairman of the party in Isiala-Ngwa South council area of the state, Mr.
Ezekiel Nwogwugwu.
It was gathered that some party stakeholders had in a
communiqué dated March 10, accused the party chairman of running the APC as a
personal business and trying to sell the party to moneybags ahead of the 2019
general election.
Following the allegations, the planned inauguration of the
new executive committee and the opening of the party secretariat at the council
headquarters, in Omoba, by some party officials led by the Zonal secretary of
the APC, Abia Central, Chief Onyenmuru Aja, was aborted by the state chairman
of the party, Donatus Nwankpa, who swiftly petitioned security agencies.
When contacted, Nwankpa said the party had set up a six-man
committee to look into the matter, adding that he petitioned the security
agencies to stop the formal opening of the party secretariat to avert a breach
of peace and order.
In an interview with our correspondent, a former chairman of
the Isiala-Ngwa South council, Uzoma Uwa, said the sack of the party chairman
was in line with the APC Constitution.
