The crisis in Imo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has taken another dimension with one of the chairmen, Daniel Madueke Nwafor accusing his rival, Marcellinus Nlemigbo of telling lies.
Nwafor while addressing newsmen on Wednesday, maintained that “no judgement of Court in any part of Nigeria has removed nor nullified the election which brought me and other officers into office”
He said the press briefing “has become necessary in view of the unfortunate and regrettable misinformation and falsehoods by people who are hell bent on destroying our dear party .The All Progressives Congress (APC)”.
Nwafor described Nlemigbo and his group as person’s who are not members of the party and whose only mandate is to destroy the party and cause confusion for the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to him, “ I was elected the Chairman of our party in Imo State with other great men and women to pilot the affairs of the party from July 2018 to July 2022 and I was subsequently sworn in”.;
“The ruling never declared anybody chairman in my place and never removed any elected officer of the party as it was not even the judgment that put us into office but the judgment simply confirmed our election” He stated.
Nwafor therefore stated thus: “may I state that anybody who wishes to be the chairman or officer of our party should simply wait for election and contest and if he wins, he is elected. The days of back door politics are gone”.
