Nigeria: Enugu APC Protests Buhari's Appointments by alfanio(m): 3:51pm On Oct 10, 2017 |
Enugu — The Enugu State chapter of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday protested
President Muhammadu Buhari's appointment of
some indigenes of the state, describing it as
corrupt and aimed at stifling the party.
The state leadership of the party, which protested
the appointment of non-APC members from the
state into federal positions, said that it was aimed
at killing the party and displacing those who
suffered and worked for the party in Enugu.
Addressing a press conference after the State
Executive Committee (SEC) meeting at its
secretariat, Chairman of the party, Ben Nwoye,
stated that the party particularly condemns the
recent appointment of Loretta Aniagolu and one
Chinwike Uzor as board members of the Federal
Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA).

It also listed the earlier appointment of Justice
Pearl Enejere (rtd.) as Chairman, Governing Council
of the Othman Danfodio University, Sokoto and
Joseph Ilo, as Resident Electoral Commissioner
(REC) representing Enugu.
The APC said the appointees were not only
members of the opposition Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), but were also staunch critics of the
APC in the state.
They stated that other appointments made earlier
included the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey
Onyema, Senior Special Assistant Adviser to the
President on Judicial Review, Juliet Ibekaku and
Director General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON),
Osita Okeckukwu were drawn from Udi (Eke ward)
council when there are 16 other local councils in
the state.
Nwoye said the SEC and other leaders of the party
had resolved to petition President Buhari, Senate
President, Bukola Saraki and other party leaders
over the continued neglect of party members and
lopsided appointments.
