Hon Nkeiru Onyejeocha |
An All Progressives Congress, APC chieftain from Abia State, Chief William Nwaguma has petitioned the party's National Chairman accusing Hon. Nkiruka Onyejeocha, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment of anti-party activities
In his petition, Nwaguma alleged that Hon Onyejeocha committed anti-party activity when she expressed her support for the re-election of Abia State Governor Alex Otti for a second term and called on the traditional rulers and people of Umunneochi LGA to support and work for the Governor’s second term in office. He added that the event occurred on Friday, February 28, 2025, during the flag off of a road construction at Umunneochi LGA of Abia State, which the Honorable Minister attended.
He argued that the Governor of Abia State, not being a member of APC, canvassing for his re-election by the Minister who is also a member of the Federal Executive Council of Nigeria under under the platform of the APC Jis an anti-party activity and or conduct which have embarrassed him and other well meaning members of the party in the State and the nation.
Nwaguma further maintained that Onyejeocha's utterances if not condemned and sanctioned by the Party will have adverse consequences in the 2027 general elections as it will paint a picture of a State chapter that is not interested in winning local and national elections and thereby engender hatred, contempt, ridicule and or disrepute for the APC
He averred that the Abia State APC remains the fastest growing State chapter of the APC as members of opposition parties have collapsed under it to unseat the Abia Governor in the face of his non-performance and personalization of governance.
The APC stalwart urged the National Working Committee, NWC to look into the matter objectively and hand down appropriate sanctions in the event it finds merit in the petition so as to serve as deterrent to those who may want to toe such ugly path in the build up to the 2027 General Elections
