Ben Nwoye Elected New APC Deputy National Chairman

During the APC convention held in Abuja, Ben Nwoye was elected as the new deputy national chairman, succeeding Emma Eneukwu. This decision was made late on a Friday night and is seen as a move to solidify consensus within the party, indicating its intent to recalibrate its mobilization strategy ahead of future electoral cycles.

Nwoye, who has a background in the legal profession and previously served as the caretaker committee chairman of the APC in Enugu State, emphasized his focus on strengthening internal party democracy. He aims to ensure that the party's foundation remains rooted in its members rather than an elite few.

Nwoye specifically advocates for the creation of women and youth empowerment desks to provide direct support and a stronger voice for grassroots members, who have traditionally felt sidelined by the APC.
