Anosike returns as Anambra APC chairman as party moves to end crisis

By Vincent Ujumadu

AWKA — The national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has intervened in the lingering crisis within the Anambra State chapter of the party, reaffirming Senator Emma Anosike as the state chairman.

The party’s Deputy National Chairman (South), Dr. Benjamin Nwoye, who led a reconciliation team from the national secretariat to Awka, announced the decision during a meeting with stakeholders.

The crisis had followed a disagreement by some party members who challenged Anosike’s emergence as chairman during the state congress held in March. The group had announced his removal and declared Ifeanyichukwu Osegbo as the new chairman before taking over the party secretariat in Awka.

Nwoye also affirmed that the party’s governorship candidate in the last election, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, remains the leader of the APC in Anambra State, while his running mate, Uche Ekwunife, remains the deputy leader.
