A major crisis has hit the All Progressives Congress in Enugu
State, The APC National Vice-Chairman, South-East, Mr.
Emma Eneukwu, slapped the party’s governorship candidate,
Mr. Okey Ezea, following an argument over ministerial slot in
the forthcoming Muhammadu Buhari-led administration. The
incident happened on Thursday during a meeting of South-
East APC leaders at the Imo State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja.
The meeting discussed the sharing of key appointments as
Ezea, in the SMS, said Eneukwu slapped him because he
(Ezea) told the South-East leaders that Nsukka zone, where
he hailed from, should produce the minister.
The text message read,
“Emma Eneukwu slapped me today because I told South-
East leaders that Nsukka has not been minister since 1999.
He did this before Rochas, Ngige, Izunaso, J. O. J, Gen. Eze,
Ucha etc. I just said the truth and requested justice and
equity in the affairs of our party and Enugu State. Emma
(Eneukwu) wants to be minister by violence. Emma is from
Udi Local Government Area which has been producing
minister since 2007, including the incumbent, Chinedu
Nebo.”
When our correspondent contacted him on the telephone
afterwards, Eneukwu denied slapping Ezea, adding that such
incident never happened.
He said,
“I am surprised about that, nothing like that happened, I
am very surprised. That story is alien to me; I don’t know
anything about it. Maybe it is a calculated attempt to mar
my image. I didn’t attack anybody, I am not a thug. I don’t
fight.”
Asked what transpired at the said meeting, he said,
“We went to see Buhari, that was all I knew. Nobody was
talking about appointment. We will not be talking about
appointment when the party has not decided on the positions
that should come to the zone. We have not known the
positions allocated to the zone.”
Our correspondent gathered that the alleged incident has
thrown the Enugu State chapter of the party into confusion.
