Imo APC Crisis: Osinbajo’s Meeting With Stakeholders Ends In Deadlock by Peter4naz(m): 10:59am On May 12, 2018 |
Violence marred the ward congress of the
party on Saturday. Suspected thugs attacked
the party’s secretariat in the state and
made away with some materials meant for
the congress.
Despite this, a group of APC stakeholders
went ahead with the ward congress which
shut out loyalists of the governor.
Okorocha had headed to Daura to meet with
President Muhammadu Buhari over the crisis.
He said the president promised to wade into
the crisis.
On Thursday, Osinbajo held separate meetings
with the two groups but at the end of the
meetings, both sides held tightly to their
positions.
While Okorocha said a news ward congress
would hold, Eze Madumere, the deputy
governor, said his group had been able to
convince Osinbajo that congress held on
Saturday.
Among those who attended the meeting
Osinbajo held with the group opposing
Okorocha were Madumere, Ifeanyi Ararume
Osita Izunaso, Benjamin Umajumogu and
Theodore Ekechi.
At the end of the first meeting, Ekechi, a
former commissioner in Imo said they were
able to show Osinbajo evidence that the
congress did held.
“As you can clearly see, both from our
faces and demeanor, we just had what we
may call a very eventful meeting with the v
ice-president,” he said.
“We are grateful for the opportunity and
privilege to tell the other side of the story.
I think by our presentations we have
successfully deflated all the lies that have
been peddled all over the country and within
the state. I think by our presentation today,
we have been able to state clearly that
congress clearly and really held.
“What did not take place in Imo state last
Saturday was simply that we resisted the
temptation, the intimidation, the blackmail to
write the result of the congress in the
Government House Owerri.
“What did not take place last week is that
we said the old has passed away and things
are going to be done anew in Imo State. In
other words, not one man determine the
results of the congresses in the 305 wards
of the state. It is very clear that APC has
returned to the owners of the party, that is
the people.”
One hour after the group led by Madumere
left, Okorocha came into Aso Rock,
accompanied by Uche Nwosu, his son-in-law,
who he has endorsed as his succesor.
He also addressed reporters at the end of
the meeting with the vice-president.
“There will be new congress, there was no
congress at all in Imo State. And it is very
clear that even the supporting documents and
videos show that there was no congress.
INEC has confirmed no congress, security
agencies have confirmed no congress, the
party leadership has confirmed no congress,
the party chairman has spoken no congress,”
he said.
“And, nobody came to the field, the result
sheets was missing and it was traceable to
the national organizing secretary’s house and
all of a sudden the chairman of the panel
disappeared from his house at 6pm in the
evening, how could there have been congress?
The matter is being investigated by the
security agencies.”
Asked why he still came for the meeting if
it had been established that there was no
congress, Okorocha, “I didn’t come with
them, I came for different thing all together.
I didn’t come for this meeting.”
When reminded that the chairman of the APC
in the state said there was congress, the
governor said, “Okay, we can also give you
a video showing clearly where he said there
was no congress on that day. You know,
these are manipulations that will not yield
any result, they know the truth.”
Asked when the new Congress will hold, he
said, “Well, it will be announced by the
party.”He said he had no idea where his deputy andothers were in the villa.

Anything to scatter APC is welcomed by me... Though I perceive that Okorocha will his way on this. 1 Like |
