The forum of All Progressives Congress, APC, House of Assembly candidates during the 2023 general elections in Enugu State has expressed confidence on the Barr Ben Nwoye-led caretaker committee to reform the party in the state.
NATIONAL POST recalls that Nwoye was on Friday inaugurated as the Chairman of the APC caretaker committee in Enugu State.
It came a day after Barr Ugochukwu Agballah and the entire members of the State Working Committee were sacked.
Also, as earlier reported, Governor Peter Mbah will be leading Peoples Democratic Party members into the APC next week.
Reacting in a statement made available to our correspondent, the ex-Assembly candidates said it was a new dawn for the APC in Enugu State.
It reads:
"The forum of APC House of Assembly candidates during the 2023 general elections in Enugu state, profoundly appreciate and thank the National Working Committee (NWC) of our great party, the APC, for finally arresting the drift that had become the lot of the party in Enugu state under the Barr. Ugochukwu Agballa led executive, by dissolving them.
"The forum is further gratified by the quality of persons appointed to constitute the caretaker committee, ranging from the chairman, Dr. Ben Nwoye (the Archbishop), Rt. Hon. Eugene Odo (the secretary), Dr. C. N. Nwafor, Dr. Oby Ajih (the woman Jagaban), Peter Chime (the Youth leader), our colleague, Engr. Obinna Ekeh and the Amazon from Abor, HE, Ambassador Akuabata Njeze.These are tested people with proven commitment to the ideals of the party.
"The forum heartily congratulates the committee members on their well deserved appointment, especially the chairman and the secretary, who were the generals in the struggle to free the party from external stranglehold.
"We have no doubt that the members of the committee will turn the party away from the abyss where the dissolved executive was drifting it into.
"The forum further pledges its loyalty and support to the caretaker committee and urges all APC members in Enugu state to support the committee for a better and election winning APC in Enugu state.
OUR PARTY IS BACK ON TRACK."
