Southeast APC Probes 2019 Failure, Plans For 2023 Presidential Contest

The Southeast Zone of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has commenced an internal investigation towards unraveling reasons for its poor showing in the last General Election towards properly positioning itself to present a candidate for the 2023 presidential election.

Indications to that regard emerged on Thursday as a 13-man committee charged with the task of leading the internal inquiry commenced action.

Chairman of the Reconciliation, Peace, Strengthening and Repositioning Committee, Dr. Emeka Wogu speaking at the commencement of the committee’s activities at Enugu on Wednesday urged party chieftains to put the past behind if the fortunes of the party in the zone must increase.

Members of the panel include Brigadier General JOJ Okoloagu (Enugu); Prince Lemmy Akakeem (Imo); Chief Ugo Chima (Ebonyi); Chief Friday Nwosu (Abia); Hon. Christopher Omo-Isu (Ebonyi); Mrs. Blessing Onuawa (Imo); Chief Azuka Okwuosa (Anambra), among others.

Speaking at the mandate of the committee, Wogu said:

“The APC South-East zone gave us the mandate to reconcile and make peace with a view of strengthening and repositioning the party in the whole of South-East, taking into consideration that certain members of our party felt so dissatisfied with the process of congresses, primaries and the main elections, they felt aggrieved and that is the reason why this committee was set-up.

“We have agreed that every state should come with its peculiarities or what led to the disorganisation and lack of peace in their states and at the end of the day we will distil issues and visit all the states. We will also visit our leaders in the states and speak truth to them and find a way of repositioning the party in the South-East to face the evolving realities of political dialectics of our party and of our country so that by 2023 we will be in a position to win the elections that we couldn’t win because of internal wrangling, which led to certain sabotages against our party.

“So in 2023 we will do well and then we will look at all positions available in this country, not limited to only National Assembly and Governorship, but including the big one. We need to go for it, negotiate for it and become relevant.”
