In a statement issued on Sunday by the State Publicity Secretary, Uche Obute, the party maintained that there was no agitation regarding the welfare of delegates who attended the recent national convention.
Obute described the claims as “concocted stories” designed to distract the party from its goal of securing the highest number of votes in the 2027 general elections.
Addressing the alleged exit of members over claims of marginalisation, the APC stated that the leadership of Governor Peter Mbah had rather strengthened the party’s presence in the state.
The party claimed that Enugu has been transformed into an APC stronghold, with all members of the National and State Assemblies, as well as the 17 Local Government Area chairmen and councillors, now fully aligned with the party.
“The Governor is widely known for his inclusive leadership style, carrying along both members of the old APC bloc and new entrants into the party,” the statement partly read.
The party further clarified that members of the “old bloc” still occupy critical positions, citing the Zonal Woman Leader (South-East), Oby Ajih, and the Deputy National Chairman (South), Ben Nwoye, as examples of its inclusive structure.
The statement added, “Both the old and new blocs are fully accommodated at all levels of party leadership, from the wards to the local government areas and the state structure.”
Reiterating its unity under the state chairman, Martin Chukwunweike, the party urged the public and its members to disregard the reports.
The APC expressed confidence that no amount of “sponsored misinformation” would derail its progress or its commitment to consolidating its dominance in the state ahead of future polls.
