APC denies opposing Nwankpa’s election as NWS
A faction of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Abia State loyal to former Minister, Uche Ogah, has thrown its weight behind the recent election of Donatus Nwankpa as the National Welfare Secretary of the party.
The party in a statement in Umuahia signed by its Publicity Secretary, Offor Okorie, denied the reports in the media that the party rejected the election of Nwankpa, who was the former State Chairman of Abia APC, as the party’s National Welfare Secretary.
The APC which reacted to the statement credited to Kingsley Ononogbu -led APC faction, said such rejection of Donatus Nwankpa came from people allegedly causing disunity in Abia APC.
The Publicity Secretary who described the election of Nwankpa as the best thing to happen to APC in Abia, pointed out that those drumming negative campaigns against Donatus Nwankpa did not want the broom party to grow in Abia.
He credited the roles of Uche Ogah, Senator Nkechi Nwaogu and some other APC stalwarts in Abia for the continued relevance of the party in Abia.
