Akujuobi officially joins APC in Naze Ward …Party leaders hail move, receive him

The official declaration of Chief Chibuike Akujuobi for the All Progressives Congress, APC, Naze Ward, Owerri North Local Government Area, Imo State, has excited party leaders and swelled the ranks of the party in the area.

Chief Akujuobi who holds the title of Omenneji of Naze Autonomous community, on Easter Monday officially registered with APC in his Naze Ward with top notches of the party in the ward and LGA in attendance.

Speaking at the event, the apex leader of APC in the ward, Benco Nzerem said Chief Chibuike’s entry into APC signaled great future for the party in the ward, LGA and Imo State adding that Chief Akujuobi remains a welcome development for what he described as one happy APC family in the ward.    

Nzerem who hinted that Chief Akujuobi’s entry into the party was an indication that APC was growing from strength-to-strength in the ward, also presented a broom which is the symbol of the party to Akujuobi.

Also speaking, a member of the Interim Management Committee, IMC, of Owerri North LGA noted that APC in Naze and Owerri North has got a big catch in the person of Chief Akujuobi noting that his entry would not only boost the chances of the party but also unite the members in the ward.

He also advised sons and daughters of Naze Ward not to allow party issues to divide them.

Another top leader of APC in the ward, Chijioke Ude said Chief Akujuobi’s entry into the party points to the fact that the entire ward has collapsed into APC. He equally sued for unity in the ward.

In his response, Chief Akujuobi said he was happy to receive the broom, the symbol of APC in his home ward, Naze, and urged his people to unite to forge a common front and avoid unnecessary opposition politics in order to position themselves and the ward to get what is due to them.

Akujuobi hinted them that by registering in his ward, he was formalizing his membership of APC. He said he would remain steady fast in the party in his Naze Ward saying that being in APC would help attract dividends of democracy to the area.

Meanwhile the APC ward chairman in Naze, Mr. Chukwudi Onu and the woman leader, APC Owerri North LGA, Mrs Osuji Branca appreciated Chief Akujuobi for his decision to officially register with the party at ward level and urged party faithful to exhibit what they called the spirit of “one-Naze-man” in the party.

Highlight of the well attended event was the official registration of Chief Akujuobi and handing over the broom to him in the presence of party leaders and faithful.
