A dependable source at the party’s headquarters disclosed to our correspondent that the new executives expressed concern over what it described as protracted and irreconcilable crisis in the state chapter of the party, which is the only APC governed state in the South East geo- political zone.
Worried by the unending internal crisis in the state, the party new leadership had concluded plans to invite the lawmaker who spearheaded the endorsement of chief of staff and son in law to the governor of Imo state, Hon Uche Nwosu which led to the factionalisation of the party by the anti Okorocha element in the party to explain the merit of his proposal.
It was equally learnt that the vocal lawmaker is also expected to explain to the party hierarchy what make him and his colleagues believe that Nwosu is an acceptable candidate that will help the APC retain the state in the 2019 election.
Our correspondent reliably gathered that the idea muted by the new exco is to resolve the warring factions ahead of the 2019 election as the Imo crisis had given the party leadership a sleepless night.
Crisis began in Imo APC when one Hon Uzoma Ezediaro representing Oguta state constituency in the state Assembly rallied his colleagues to endorse the chief of staff and son in law to Gov Rochas Okorocha, Hon Uche Nwosu as the party’s preferred gubernatorial candidate for next year’s election which was opposed by the stakeholders led by the deputy governor Prince Madumere.
It will be recalled that delegates at the just concluded party’s national convention at Eagle square Abuja had engaged themselves in a free for all fight over which faction controls the party structure in the state.
