Foundation members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have cried to President Buhari to use his office as the leader of the party and save them from Senator Ken Nnamani.
Speaking to journalists in Enugu on Sunday, after their Zoom meeting, the publicity secretary of Enugu State Chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) Mrs Kate Ofor, said that the party had resolved to call on President Muhammadu Buhari, GFCR, “to Save Our Soul from Senator Ken Nnamani and Co; who want to SHUT OUT APC foundation legacy members in Enugu State.”
She noted that foundation members of APC in Enugu State have gradually improved the electoral fortunes of the party from 2015 to 2019 general elections. “We need to improve more especially with registration of new members.
“However, we wish to appeal that the flagrant breach of Article 20 of the APC Constitution by Senator Ken Nnamani’s imposition called consensus be urgently addressed before the October 2, 2021 State Congress.”
On behalf of the party, Mrs Ofor quipped, “Our core resolution in the meeting is to call on Mr President who is the leader of our great party to SOS! SOS! SOS!
“Our understanding is that Senator Ken Nnamani and Co’s devious plan is to SHUT OUT APC foundation legacy members in Enugu State.”
Asked why there’s no noise from the other states like it is in Enugu State, Mrs Ofor said, “I don’t know. The danger is that we are in a liberal democracy where some might keep quiet and their marginalized members’ votes may not. This is why we are calling on Mr President to come to our rescue.
“His Excellency, M.M.Buni as a foundation legacy member knows how we toiled, sweated and sacrificed to build the Brand APC. While Nnamani and Co were in PDP’s Comfort Zone. We also need Buni’s deft reconciliation tactics. For Nnamani and Co did not bring anything to the table, neither electoral value, nor people nor money.”
Asked about the new Reconciliation Committee headed by Senator Adamu Abdullahi? Mrs Ofor shouted,
“We have nothing against Distinguished Senator Adamu; but there is a Big Elephant in the Committee, Senator Nnamani’s handgun-surrogate is posted there. He is His Excellency, Sullivan Chime a product of imposition. He was imposed as a governor by Distinguished Senator Chimaroke Nnamani, so for him, imposition is consensus.”
Secondly, we resolved for the purposes of the State Congress to clarify the position we took in June after the Distinguished Senator Jonathan Zwingina led Registration and Revalidation Panel that;
“We hereby clarify that all party offices zoned to the East Senatorial District is now zoned to West Senatorial District and all party offices zoned to the West is now zoned to the North Senatorial District and all those zoned to North is now zoned to East Senatorial District.”
It will be recalled that in 2014, the APC Enugu State Offices zoned party offices thus: –

“Finally, we call on Mr President to Save Our Soul (SOS), as Senator Ken Nnamani’s devious plot is to SHUT OUT foundation legacy members of APC in Enugu State.”
