Enugu APC: We Will Not Take Tinubu’s Campaign Funds

The governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress in the forthcoming general elections, Mr Uchenna Nnaji said that the Tinubu’s money for the presidential campaign in the state was responsible for the crisis rocking the party in Enugu.

Mr Nnaji who made this known during an emergency stakeholder’s meeting at the party’s South East zonal office in Enugu on Sunday, said that the presidential campaign fund should be withheld until after the election since it is destabilizing the party in the state.

“The current crisis in Enugu APC is all about Tinubu’s Campaign money. The so-called stakeholders are fighting to be in charge and preside over the disbursement of Tinubu’s money.

“We don’t want the campaign money of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu to prosecute the 2023 general election in Enugu State. By the special Grace of God, we will use Enugu APC resources to prosecute the election in 2023 and after the election, the party will refund us. It is Tinubu’s money that is causing the crisis in Enugu APC.

“After this emergency meeting, I will go to Abuja tomorrow (Monday) to tell the national chairman of the party that we don’t want campaign funds. On Tuesday I will meet our presidential candidate, Tinubu and I will tell him the same thing.”

The guber hopeful also appealed to ‘Abuja stakeholders’ return home and join him in grassroots mobilization to reposition the party to win election.

According to him, he, alongside Agballah and his executives has so far travelled across 184 wards and 204 communities across 13 LGs in the state ahead of the election in 2023.

“It is unprecedented in the history of the party in the state and shows how prepared we are to not only contest the election but also win,” he said.

Meanwhile, the party faithful that attended the meeting unanimously passed a vote of confidence on Chief Agballah-led executive of the party.
