The bunch of “Broom” which we painstakingly tied collectively in 2013 at a time after we had been referred to as unprintable names has loosened and completely scattered. All efforts made by the Occasion Elders to assemble the “Broom” and reassemble it has failed. In its present kind, additional makes an attempt to reassemble the “Broom” in Enugu State is not practicable.

What’s left of the “Broom” are two skeletal constructions. One in every of every constructions is held by two sturdy males. One of many sturdy males claims Chairmanship by judicial pronouncement. Whereas the opposite claims Chairmanship by smug disobedient of the identical judicial pronouncement aided by the silent approval of the Nationwide Management

The management of the social gathering in South East are absolutely engaged in vindictive politics.

They aren’t concerned with including one other State to the 2 States the social gathering controls within the South East. So far as they’re involved, the supremacy of the social gathering is measured by how low they’ll go to oppress their perceived political enemies. These they do, with out recourse to the core rules upon which APC stands -Justice, Peace and Unity. To say the least, the Zonal management within the South East has misplaced path.

Within the meantime, the Nationwide management of the Occasion is basking on the euphoria of energy, being the social gathering underneath which the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the vast majority of the members of the Nationwide Meeting had been elected.

The APC Nationwide Management has due to this fact maintained willful blindness. Therefore, permitting the warring factions to self-destruct and strangulate the social gathering in Enugu State.

To worsen the state of affairs, the APC Nationwide management treats Occasion Elders requires reconciliation with disdain and disrespect. Loyal social gathering members calling for social gathering unity are handled like conquered and captured political warriors.

In different phrases, loyal social gathering members who don’t agree with the place of the APC Nationwide management on the division that exists throughout the whole social gathering construction in Enugu State have been reworked into prisoners of political battle. They’ve been positioned in political captivity in Enugu State.

On the premise acknowledged above, I engaged in in depth consultations with my grassroots followers and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s time to transfer on.

I’m not a political prisoner. I’ve by no means been and I can by no means be.

The state of affairs in Enugu State is just not an remoted case. For instance, in Anambra State the Nationwide Management didn’t care to listen to the voice of H.E. Senator Chris Ngige earlier than awarding the Gubernatorial ticket to the best bidder? In Abia State, the place are the likes of Dr Ikechi Emenike and Ayim Iyerenye? In Ebonyi State the place is the voice of Senator Julius Ucha. And in Imo State the place is H.E. Owelle Rochas Okorocha and Ugwumba Uche Nwosu. These are nice males who risked all of it and made great sacrifices to make sure that APC gained floor within the South East. At present, their opinions not matter.

So, it’s time to transfer on and uncover a brand new frontier.”
