APC SouthEast Holds Zonal Executive Committee Meeting, Targets Abia, Anambra & Enugu

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has identified states like Abia, Anambra and Enugu as critical states vowing to put its house in order to ensure that the party records 70 percent success in the forthcoming 2023 polls.

This was the resolution of the SouthEast APC at its first Zonal Executive Committee meeting, which was held in Enugu yesterday. 

The meeting, which commenced at about 2:30 pm, saw the Zonal Executive Committee, ZEC, deliberate on a number of pressing issues such as the coming general elections and the resolution of disputes within a number of state chapters.

The Zone under the leadership of its National Vice Chairman, Dr. Ijeomah Arodiogbu, announced its desire to record immense electoral success at the forthcoming polls with the fielding of credible candidates for all positions during the general elections.

 To this end, the Zone will begin series of consultations with numerous party stakeholders across the states as well as sensitization programmes. One plank of such a sensitization programme would be the training of party executives from the State Working Committee down to the Wards in order to bring a number of these party executives up to speed on present day party management techniques as well as the setting up of a Think-Tank at the Zonal level to develop the content and manuals for such training programmes. 

On its identification of Abia, Anambra and Enugu as critical states, the Zone noted that since these states were presently without sitting governors, the task of ensuring that these aforementioned states comes under the APC’s orbit would require strategic planning as well as the identification of the party’s strength and weaknesses within the various states. To this end, the zone needed to begin quite early to sort out the best ways to win over such states come 2023, stating that it would leave no stone unturned.

On discipline, the zone stated that it stood with the decision of the National Working Committee, NWC of the party which had asked all aggrieved persons to withdraw their cases from the courts.
