“Most of the leaders and members of wards within the our council and entire were able to come to agree on a harmonised list made up of serious party faithful that can deliver the needed winning votes during elections.
“It was done rancour-free and what you is positive internal democracy and people-oriented party leadership in action,” he said.
Ngwu, leader of the party in Enugu South LGA, who also supervised a successful congress in his Enugu South LGA Ward 1 held at Amechi Primary School, Amechi Awkunanaw, said party faithful showed unity of purpose.
“With the unity of purpose the party faithful achieved in the ward congresses, we are ready to take over the state politically’’.
“The newly elected APC executive of the various wards in the council area should build on this unity and mobilise the entire state for APC come 2023 General Elections and other elections,” he said.
At the congress in Enugu South LGA Ward 1 (in Amechi Awkunanaw), Mr Ikechukwu Eneh and Mr Nnaji Nwigwe emerged Chairman and Vice-Chairman respectively; while Mr Moses Amechi emerged Secretary, all through unanimous voice vote of YES.
Other 24 elective positions, which included four ex-officios, followed suit with a unanimous and unopposed voice vote of YES as well.
Speaking, Eneh thanked the party faithful for turning out en masse, conducting themselves in a peaceful and rancor-free manner that led to the success of the congress in the ward.
He said, “I am assure you all that the newly elected executives will work hard to ensure dominance of the party at all political elections in all polling booths in the ward.
“We are going to set-up polling booth committees, as our leader Ngwu had advised, to ensure that APC wins in each polling booth in the ward henceforth. No stone will be left unturned in achieving this.”
