That APC Lose In Anambra Governorship Election Is Not A Surprise – Nwosu

Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State, Uche Nwosu, has exposed why his party cannot win the Anambra governorship election.

Speaking with selected journalists in Abuja on Monday, Nwosu said that the APC has performed poorly in the ongoing election because the party has lost its base in the South East.

Nwosu, son-in-law of former governor of Imo State Rochas Okorocha, revealed that the South-East chapter of the party is being run by strangers and the founding members have been put on the back burner.

The former APC governorship candidate further said that the falling fortune of the party in the South-East is as a result of the party leadership’s failure to reward old members in preference of new members.

He said: “The declining fortune of the party in the South East is a result of the poor reward system that undermined the founding fathers and old members of the party in preference of new members.

“The leadership of APC has abandoned those that planted and nurtured the party in the South East and has handed over the structure of the party to defectors from other parties who never knew how APC was founded.

“What is happening to APC in the South East is a result of a poor reward system. The party undermined those that worked so hard to plant the party in the zone and instead embraced newcomers who do not have what it takes to endear the party to the people

“Unless the party retraces its steps in the conduct of free and fair primaries, and declaring the winner without manipulation in the forthcoming 2023 general elections and reconciling all aggrieved old members, it may not recover from the self-afflicted crisis before the 2023 general elections.

 “If the founding fathers of the party are not appeased and handed back the reins of the party, the fortune will continue to go down.”
