The state party chairman, Mr. Basil Ejidike, during a stakeholders’ meeting of the party, in Awka, on Saturday, said the party has resolved that only committed members in the state will be given appointments at the Federal level.
Ejidike urged aggrieved members of the party who after losing past primary elections of the party or others who felt they were not fairly treated in one way or the other during the last elections to return to the party for unity of purpose.
He added that the move for every member to be united is critical particularly now that President Bola Tinubu, “a political guru and master strategist is currently in the saddle to offer Nigerians a renewed hope”.
He said the Tinubu presidency will give members of the party in the state the enablement to reap from their hard work, over the years.
There were divisions among the party’s critical stakeholders in the state after the 2023 general elections, fueling rumours that some members of the party in the state were working to influence appointments at the federal level to the detriment of others.
Ejidike said, “There is a need for us to have a disciplinary committee to sanitise our party. We are also inaugurating the eminent committee, and then the finance committee.
“The essence of a political party is to win election, and where we fail to win the election, we would be a mere social club. It is from our members who are elected into office that the party is funded. The finance committee will come together and fashion out ways to source funds to run the party.
“There is a need to forge unity in our party. The use of social media in our party is now very disturbing. Everyone now opens media platforms, where people congregate to run down the leaders of our party, and that is bad. That is where the disciplinary committee comes in.
“The executive arm of the party has visited all governorship aspirants of the party in the last governorship election, on ways to reconcile everyone, and has received positive feedback.
“Anyone who is still bearing grudges is not telling himself the truth, because we have thrashed out all the problems, and all we need is to forge ahead.
“Anambra APC is now more positioned because President Tinubu is a politician and a core party man. We are hopeful that the labours of our hands in the party will be rewarded under President Tinubu.”
The three committees set up by the party had; Chibuzo Obiakor as chairman and CJ Chinwuba as secretary of the disciplinary committee, Azuka Okwuosa and Elijah Onyeagba as Chairman and secretary of the Finance committee, and Ralph Okeke and Ifeanyi Ibezi as Chairman and secretary of
Eminent committee.
The party also resolved to write down the names of 50 members, from all the 21 local government areas of the state for submission, for consideration for appointments.
