Anambra State chapter of the All Progressives Congress APC has been boosted with new members who joined the party in Nnewi on Sunday.
During the meeting of the APC ward I Nnewichi Nnewi, notable figures declared for the party, affirming that the APC is their preferred political party.
The meeting, which was held at the Obi Nnewichi Palace, was chaired by the APC Nnewichi ward I chairman, Mr. Emmanuel Nnadi. Other members of the ward and local government leaders were also in attendance, including Mr. Oliver Uzodinma. The gathering turned out exceptionally well to the excitement of party members when no fewer than seven prominent figures joined the party.
Mr. Obiora Osigwe, a top figure in the community and a successful businessman in Nnewi was received in the party and issued with his party membership card.
Declaring for the APC, Mr. Osigwe said that he was not wronged by APGA or by anyone, but that APC is his preferred political party, and therefore, he made up his mind to join the party. “I am happy to be here. I was not wronged by APGA or anyone. But I have looked at all the parties, and I like APC, and that is why I decided to join the party,” Osigwe said. Similarly, new party members, Dr. Tochukwu Nnamdi and Dr. Cheta Okeke joined the meeting and were well received.
Other new members are; Uzochukwu Chukwuma, a former chieftain of the YPP in Nnewi. For him, the APC is the party of now and of the future; therefore, he made up his mind to join the party. Mr. Anthony Obili also declared to join the party and was similarly admitted. Mr. Elochukwu Onuegbuna, a popular MC in Nnewi also joined the party. Making his intention known to members during the meeting, he observed that as an individual, he would be more disposed to give special privileges to his close friends than strangers. This, he said, also applies to politics and he reasoned, this is how the ruling national party sees it as well. Mrs. Ngozi Udegbuna was equally admitted into the party and expressed joy in her membership and readiness to work for the party.
So far, the Anambra APC has been consistent in attracting new members into its fold, even as the Anambra State Governorship election draws nearer.
