Group canvasses suspension of Ebonyi APC guber candidate
A group known as the All Progressives Congress(APC) Youth Vanguard in Ebonyi state has called on the national working committee of the party to immediately withdraw all assistances to the party’s gubernatorial flagbeaer, Senator Sonni Ogbuoji over alleged anti-party activities.
In a communique signed by the President of the group, Comrade Chuks Obeh and Secretary, Comrade Ikechukwu Nwakpa respectively, the group accused Ogbuoji of withdrawing and aiding the defection of 12 APC House of Assembly candidates from the race to join the opposition PDP.
The group alleged that the abysmal performance of the party in the state during the Presidential and National Assembly elections was because Ogbuoji had completely annihilated members and stakeholders of the party.
They hinted that since Ogbuoji defected from the PDP to the APC in the state, the fortunes of the party had become nose-dived leading to the loss of all the National Assembly seats in the state during the last election.
“It is with a deep sense of concern that we, the members of Ebonyi state APC Youth Vanguard considered it most expedient to raise alarm on the urgent need to rescue our party in Ebonyi state.
“The All Progressives Congress since its merger has not witnessed the catastrophic misfortunes as it witnessed in recent times during the electioneering campaign.
“Without mincing words, it was not hidden that the fortunes of APC in Ebonyi state were very bright and hopeful, to the extent that people looked to the party for purposeful leadership.
“However, we feel pained that since the Senator representing Ebonyi South,
Senator Soni Ogbuoji decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party to
APC, the fortunes of APC in Ebonyi state took a nosedive and tumbled disgracefully as witnessed during the Presidential and National Assembly elections in the state,” they stated.
