Okorocha boasts as APC picks new chairman

After series of crises that marred the congress of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State,  the party, on Monday, elected a new state Chairman, Daniel Nwafor.

Governor Rochas Okorocha, however, boasted that the election  was a   legitimate exercise, unlike the previous one.

Chairman of the  congress committee,  Ojo Adesayo, in his speech after the election which took place at a well attended state Congress held at the Imo International Convention Centre (IICC), Owerri, expressed satisfaction over the conduct of the exercise, observing that it was done according to the rules of the party.

Adesayo noted that members of the committee worked tirelessly to ensure a successful and  hitch-free, election. He urged the newly-elected members  to work in harmony and bring back all aggrieved members of the party.

Ojo also tasked the State Working Committee to ensure that they reposition the party ahead of the 2019 general election, to enable the party emerge victorious in the 2019 elections.

The newly-elected chairman, in his speech shortly after his inauguration, pledged to reconcile aggrieved members, even as he  vowed to carry everyone along.

He stated that the State Working Committee would swing into action by constituting a reconciliation committee that would reach out to all aggrieved members to settle their differences.

Nwafor also  assured that the new state leadership under him will deliver the party 100 percent in the 2019 election, both at the state and national levels.

“We are going to embark on  aggressive membership drive to further strengthen our party and position it for victory, we assure Mr. President that we will deliver, nothing shall stop our victory.

“We are not going to leave anyone behind, we will run an inclusive administration that will give every member equal opportunities. We are also going to quickly put machinery in motion to reach out to all aggrieved members of our great party so that together, we can make our party greater.

Leader of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), monitoring team in the state, Sir Victor Nwokeabia, who monitored the election in his speech expressed satisfaction with the conduct, affirming that the exercise met with the provisions of the constitution of the party.

“We are here in compliance with the Electoral Act which mandates INEC to monitor  activities of political parties including congresses of this nature and we are satisfied with the conduct of the APC State Congress held in Imo today.”

Earlier, Okorocha, who  participated in the exercise, described  it as a  legitimate exercise, unlike the previous one.

“You can see with the turnout today that this is a legitimate  congress because when you allow the party members choose their leaders, it will deepen internal democracy.”

He congratulated the elected party officials and charged them to work hard and conduct the affairs of the party in line with the constitution. The 27 elected local government chairmen were immediately sworn-in by the state chairman.

The Federal High Court sitting in Owerri, had ordered for fresh congress in the state, after it nullified the one earlier conducted by a faction of the party for flouting the provisions of the constitution of the party.

The party consequently rescheduled the ward, local government and state congresses in compliance with the court judgment.
