Enugu APC Founding Members Accuse Governor Mbah of Exclusion

Founding members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu North Senatorial Zone expressed their discontent over alleged exclusion and negligence by Governor Peter Mbah. In a statement issued by Barth Ifeanyi Ugwoke Esq., a chieftain and former Director of Research, Strategy and Intelligence Matters at the APC National headquarters, the group claimed that Mbah was systematically excluding them from party structures and elective positions.

This alleged exclusion has led to defections to opposition parties. The members convened an emergency meeting across the six local government areas of Enugu North to discuss their grievances.

They criticized the lack of representation, noting that only one female member was considered for a councillorship ticket and no foundation member was deemed qualified for LGA Chairmanship. They called for intervention from influential party leaders and the APC national leadership, warning that failure to address their concerns could threaten the party's cohesion in Enugu State.
