The All Progressive Congress (APC) Enugu State chapter has debunked the claims that the party suspended the 2019 governorship candidate of the party, Distinguished Senator Ayogu Eze over alleged anti party activities.
The state Chairman of the party Dr. Ben Nwoye who doubles as the Secretary of APC state Chairmen forum made the declaration at a news conference in Abuja on Wednesday. According to Dr.Nwoye,the purported suspension of Senator Ayogu Eze is the handiwork of enemies of APC in the state.
He said; “Yesterday we saw reports in a section of the media misinforming people that the distinguished Senator Ayogu Eze was suspended from the party. That cannot be further from the truth. The distinguished Senator Ayogu Eze is a well respected member of APC in Enugu State and indeed South East and at the national level. He joined the party and he ran for Governorship, got the ticket and because of his popularity has taken the party to greater heights.
“Very recently, he received a vote of confidence based on what he had done to grow the party beginning with most recently, our membership registration. His efforts cumulated into tripling the number of registered members of APC in Enugu State. We have independent people who could verify that. The chairman of the registration committee for the state, distinguished Senator Jonathan Zwingina was in Enugu State and he hosted him and other members of the committee. He made sure we had a great turn out of members”
