All Progressives Congress
Anambra Central
Uzuegbunam Okagbue Is Not A Member Of Anambra APC.
It has come to our notice that in the race for who gets the ministerial slot in Anambra, a certain name, one Uzuegbunam Okagbue had the misfortune of being featured in an article carried by a National Daily of immense repute.
Like an odd number amongst even numbers, and like a consonant amidst a category of vowels we were thrown into a rude shock as to how Okagbue, a former Deputy Chief Protocol to Dr Willie Obiano while the later bestrode Anambra as the state"s helmsman from 2017-2021. Okagbue was also to throw his hat in the Senatorial ticket for Anambra Central under the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance coming a distant third.
At no point in time, in the party's struggles to elect President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a feat which saw true party members resist all forms of inducements, threats and what have we, and in an election where ethnicity and tribalism featured heavily, did Okagbue feature in the party's attempts to hold the APC Fort in Anambra. Sadly, today the same Okagbue is being touted in certain quarters, a situation true party members view as a slap on its face.
It is on record that one of the challenges of the the party in Anambra State is the harrowing non reward system for party members who haven slaved and toiled were bypassed for expired leaders who never identified with the party but turned such an appointment into a kinship/ family affair, a clear case of "Monkey dey Work, Baboon dey chop" .
We may have understood such an absurdity owing to the former president's disposition to party politics but how can such attempt to rear it's head again under the watch of a core party man such as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The stones will surely cry out!
While we understand that the buck stops at the president's table and the choice of a.miniater.is.solely his prerogative, we urge President Tinubu and his kitchen cabinet to ensure that the next minister or set of ministers are from the category of true party members and not a "Johnny Just Drop" like Uzuegbunam Okagbue.who cannot claim to be of APC Anambra stock.
We are hereby calling on the leadership of the party in Anambra State as well as the Zonal and National levels to also intervene and ensure that the right things are done.
We in positive anticipation are of the belief that such a call would be heeded and Anambra APC would be represented by genuine party members who have long waited for the Uhuru moment in our party!
God Bless Nigeria
God bless Anambra APC
