From Godwin Tsa Abuja
Immediate past National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Edozie Njoku, has emerged as the new National Chairman of the National Rescue Movement (NRM).
Njoku emerged as the new NRM national chairman at an emergency convention of the party which held in Abuja and under the monitoring of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He took over from the immediate Chairman of NRM, Ambassador Isaac Udeh, who stepped down to become the National Organizing Secretary of the party.
Members of the NRM said they were unanimous in the emergence of Njoku as their national chairman due to his wealth of experience, doggedness and vision for Nigeria.
Speaking shortly after he was declared as National Chairman, Njoku, who thanked ambassador Udeh for the huge sacrifice, promised to revamp and reposition the NRM for future elections starting with the forthcoming governorship election in Anambra State, which he expressed strong confidence that the NRM will come out as winner.
Other national officers of the party who emerged at the convention are A.D Musa, Deputy National Chairman North and Hon. Freedom Okwuchukwu, Deputy National Chairman South.
