No crisis in our party — Enugu APC dismisses allegations of mass resignation
By Anayo Okoli | Enugu
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State has dismissed reports suggesting internal crisis and mass resignation of members, insisting that the party remains united and focused ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The party said its members are working in harmony to secure strong electoral outcomes for both President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Peter Mbah in the next elections.
In a statement issued by the State Publicity Secretary, Chief Uche Obute (JP), the APC described the allegations of crisis as false, misleading, and aimed at creating division within the party.
Obute said claims of non-payment of stipends to delegates at the party’s national convention were “completely fabricated,” adding that the report was based on anonymous and unverified sources.
“The APC in Enugu State wishes to state categorically that there is no crisis, nor has there been any agitation of the nature described. The allegations are nothing but a failed attempt to sow discord,” the statement read.
The party also dismissed reports of mass resignation, describing them as “baseless and unfounded,” insisting that its structure in the state remains intact and fully functional.
It argued that contrary to claims of marginalisation, the party has recorded significant political consolidation under Governor Peter Mbah, whom it credited with strengthening APC’s presence in the state.
According to the statement, all National Assembly members, local government chairmen, and councillors in the state are aligned with the party, alongside other key political stakeholders.
The APC further stated that both old and new party members are fully integrated into its structure at all levels, from wards to the state executive.
It also pointed to key party positions occupied by members of the old APC bloc in the South-East, including the Zonal Woman Leader and the Deputy National Chairman (South), as evidence of inclusiveness.
Under the leadership of State Chairman Dr. Martin Chukwunweike, the party said it remains united, focused, and determined to consolidate its growing political strength in Enugu State, stressing that no amount of propaganda would derail its progress.
