Mbah Commends Enugu Party Faithful for Peaceful, Democratic LG Congress

The All Progressives Congress national panel and Governor Peter Mbah have commended the Enugu State chapter of the party for a peaceful and democratic local government congress.

Speaking after monitoring the election of a new local government party executive and three-man national delegates at Amagunze, Nkanu East LGA yesterday, the chairman of the national panel for ward and local government congresses in the state, Hon. Solomon Funkekeme, extolled the unity, conviviality and transparency that prevailed, describing the state chapter of the APC as a model worthy of emulation by other states.

“First, I will commend the governor, who has shown leadership in the party. The first attempt to go forward is to unite, and that is what we have seen here today. This panel has observed that efforts have been made to ensure that people go together.

“Again, the conduct of the congress here is marvelous. The environment is electric. Everybody is happy and our job was made easier because we did not see anybody dissenting. No dissenting voice here, and I commend the people of this local government.

“I want to appeal that every other local governments should take a cue from Nkanu East local government for peaceful congresses that will lead to the continued delivery of the dividends of democracy by the governor himself. Nobody can develop a state without peace and harmony,” he stated.

Also speaking at the congress where Hon. Abel Nwigwe emerged as the new chairman of the party in Nkanu East, Governor Mbah thanked party leaders and faithful for demonstrating that Enugu APC had grown into one big family.

“What we have just witnessed here is a model that I believe should be emulated by all. We have demonstrated a deep sense of unity, and that this congress is a brotherly affair.

“This is also a model which is not just peculiar to Nkanu East, as the reports I have received so far show that what we have witnessed here today is exactly what is going on across the other 16 LGAs of Enugu State,” he said.
