From Jude Chinedu, Enugu
The Deputy Chairman of the Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON), Enugu State Chapter, and Executive Chairman of Igboeze South Local Government Area, Ugo-Ferdinand Ukwueze, has described the recently concluded APC ward, local government and state congresses in Enugu as the best ever conducted by any political party in the state.
Ukwueze said the peaceful and successful exercise across the 260 political wards and 17 local government areas demonstrated overwhelming support for Peter Ndubuisi Mbah as leader of the party in the state.
Speaking with journalists in Enugu on Wednesday, he maintained that the congresses reflected unity, discipline and renewed confidence within the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“The peaceful, transparent and widely accepted congresses we witnessed across Enugu State clearly show that our party is united and focused. From the wards to the local governments and the state, members freely expressed their will without intimidation or confusion,” he said.
According to him, the level of organisation and acceptance recorded has strengthened confidence in the party’s leadership and reaffirmed members’ trust in Governor Mbah’s vision and direction.
