The Ozar Ukwu chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Tuesday, at the country home of one of the party’s Chieftains, Chief Signor Kanu at Umunteke, Asa in Ukwa West Local Government Area of Abia State, nominated and confirmed former Chief Whip of the Abia State House of Assembly, Hon. Tony Mezie Nwubani, as the leader of the Ward.

In a well attended general meeting by party faithfuls from the seven villages that make up the Ward, the chapter unanimously decided that following the constitution of the APC, the former lawmaker was the most qualified and competent person to lead and represent the Ward at all times in any of the party’s meetings or gatherings.

Moving the motion for the nomination of Nwubani by a prominent stakeholder of the party, Chief Azuogu Emeruwa, he said it was the prerogative of the Ward to choose its own leader. The motion, which was seconded by Chief Emeka Nwoha, and supported by one of the oldest members of the APC, Chief ThankGod Ntaku, received a loud endorsement by all those who attended the meeting.

In his acceptance speech, Nwubani said he was prepared and ready to serve the APC in any capacity that the party considered fit for him, and pledged not to slack in the new responsibility.

Earlier, the convener of the meeting, Chief Signor Kanu, while welcoming the party members, said he thought it necessary for members of the Ozar Ukwu APC Ward to meet and discuss the way and means to ensure that the party continued to move forward, woo non-members, and consolidate on the gains it has achieved so far.

He expressed confidence that the party would win forthcoming elections at both the State and Federal levels, adding that there was need to massively mobilise the good numerical strength of the Ward to its advantage during elections.

The party Chieftain used the opportunity to assure the people that APC as a party has given the people of the South East a sense of belonging by the signing of the South East Development Commission, SEDC, bill and constituting of its Board composed of seasoned technocrats that will pilot the Affairs of the Commission. He thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Rt.Hon. Benjamin Kalu for their commitment to putting South East on the front burner.

The meeting, which also nominated two persons in each of the villages in the Ward to serve as disseminators of information of the party’s activities, had in attendance; former Executive Chairman, Ukwa West Local Government Council, Chief Okey Kanu, the Ukwa West APC Chairman, Elder Uju Nwarie, Ward Chairman, Levi Dike, first Chairman of Ukwa West APC, Ibe Nworgu, Chief Chima Koko, Sir Bright Agu and Chief Blessings Dans Adokiye.
