Abia APC: Rebellious Conduct Of One Person Not Amount To Faction — Donatus Nwankpa [VIDEO]

…..Insists Party Structure Intact

Interim Chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC Abia state chapter, Hon. Donatus Nwankpa has said that the rebellious conduct of an unnamed individual does not amount to factionalisation, dismissing insinuations from some quarters that the party is in crisis.

While insisting that the structure of the party in Abia is intact, Hon. Nwankpa in an address to newsmen at the party secretariat on Thursday, said the unity of the party is paramount, adding that he does not have the intention to become a sit-tight chairman, ABN TV reports.

He said the party is ready to welcome any ‘prodigal son’ who has gone astray and not the party being at the mercy of any ‘delinquent son’.

Hon. Nwankpa urged members of APC in the state to ignore reports that interim national chairman of the party, Mai Mala Buni, and President Muhammadu Buhari are involved in what he called ‘charade’, insisting that these individuals are not involved.

While adding that the party is not afraid of any individual being allegedly dragged into the matter, Hon. Nwankpa said the truth about the leadership structure of the party in Abia cannot be changed.

He said the party is not against anyone who emerges at various leadership positions at the ward, local government, or state levels, urging that due process must be followed.

“You people (press) should ask them what process made them state chairman. Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu is the highest-ranked member of this party, Senate Chief Whip, a former governor.

“We are not saying people should not be subjected to popularity test but let it follow due process.

“Unfortunately yesterday (Wednesday) we were served with a court order by some aggrieved members. The order said they should not accept or act of any list from any congress apart from the one we supervised” he said.
