The sledge harmer of the members of All Progressive Congress (APC) of Ideato North LGA has fallen on the incumbent chairman of the party Nze Luke Ekwueme and the secretary, Mrs. Ijeoma Obiezu respectively over alleged gross misconduct and misappropriation of LGA party’s funds.
According to documents made available to this Newspaper which was dully signed by members and party executives of Ideato North LGA, it said the chairman attracted the wrath of the members following several charges of allegation against his position which was never in tandem with the party’s manifesto on principles, stressing that his era is the worst in the history of the area.
It was further alleged that Nze Ekwueme due to his insatiable quest for-easy lucre decided not to give account to all the funds realized from Aspirants from Ideato North forgetting the motive for the donation involving renovation and payment of the LGA party’s secretariat.
The aggrieved members alleged that as party’s primary is around the corner, they are yet to harmonize because of the dormancy and non-challant attitude of the chairman whom they described as “only being interested in personal intents “rather than working assiduously for the success of the party ahead 2015 polls”. Also, they averred that action they just took is a bold step towards ensuring that Governor Rochas Okorocha is voted back into Douglas House, adding that if Nze Ekeueme and the secretary are left to pilot the affairs of the party, there will be no victory for APC in Ideato North.
Meanwhile, they categorically stated that he, Nze Ekwueme ceases to be their chairman, and should not be spotted acting as one as agreed by the general public and executive of Ideato North LGA for peace, love and tranquility to reign.
