Ebonyi APC: New Chairman pledges to unite party

The new Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Ebonyi, Chief Stanley Okoro-Emegha, says his administration will unite all the party faithful in the state.

Okoro-Emegha said this in his post-election speech on Saturday in Abakaliki, adding that unity in the party would help to guarantee its desired results in the state, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

“The successful conduct of the congresses in the state right from the ward to the state level shows that unity was already rooted in the party. We have successfully passed the litmus test of the congresses and the successful conclusion shows we are on course for an electoral landslide in 2023. We will consolidate on this unity and the gains recorded during the period of our caretaker administration,” he said.

Okoro-Emegha, who served as the immediate-past caretaker committee chairman, thanked the party stakeholders and other members for their love and trust in his new executive.

“I commend the governor in particular for steering the ship of the party successfully since he defected to APC, which has greatly repositioned the party. He is a successful party administrator, who has replicated his magic wand in the party,” Okoro-Emegha said.

The APC National Congress Committee Chairman to Ebonyi, Chief Ideato Okoli, returned Okoro-Emegha as chairman, having polled 1,080 votes. He defeated Mr Akanu Okoro, who had 60 votes.

Okoli also returned Mr Charlse Ofoke (State Secretary), Mr Chidi Ogbuatu (Publicity Secretary), Paulinus Aloh (Treasurer) and Ogbonnaya Aloh (Youth Leader) among other winners. PUNCH
