Dr. Ben Nwoye, the Enugu State chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has warned Senator Ken Nnamani, one of the party’s leaders in the state, to desist from anti-party utterances.
Nwoye, who spoke on Tuesday, urged Nnamani to clarify a statement he made while commissioning a four-room building with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governor, Chief Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
Nwoye also asked Nnamani to explain why he could not campaign openly for his party’s governorship candidate, but was rather telling the PDP governorship candidate that “a good product markets itself”.
He also accused Nnamani of promising that when the time comes, he would say where his “people belong”.
“This is very misleading. Could it be that Sen. Nnamani is so ashamed of his political party that he could not canvass openly for the party?” Nwoye wondered.
He said the APC in Enugu State had observed Nnamani’s double standards for too long, adding that the party could no longer fold its arms and watch him demarket the party in the state.

“We deplore this attitude of being APC in Abuja and PDP in Enugu State,’’ the chairman said.
“How can the Vice Chairman, South of APC Presidential Campaign Council feel more comfortable in the midst of candidates of the PDP than among APC candidates almost on the eve of an election?”
Nwoye said that Nnamani was surrounded at that event by candidates of the opposition PDP for various offices, and wondered what signal he was sending to APC supporters in Enugu State.
“This is a man who has just been unveiled as the vice chairman of the APC Presidential Campaign Council romancing and hobnobbing with the opposition party and making insinuations that his people would vote for the opposition,” he lamented.
He stressed that it was the same people that go to Abuja to mislead the authorities that the PDP governor in Enugu State was working for Buhari, saying that nothing could be farther from the truth.
