Anambra Election: Why APC Is A Failure In South East – Uche Nwosu

Uche Nwosu, a former governorship candidate on the platform of Action Alliance, AA, in Imo State during the 2019 election, has berated the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, concerning their poor performances in elections in the South East.

Nwosu, who contested the primary election of the APC in 2019 before decamping to AA claimed that he was robbed of the ticket and he described the poor performance of his party as self-inflicted.

The former governorship candidate disclosed this during an interview with select journalists in Abuja on Monday saying that the declining fortune of the APC in the South East is a result of the poor reward system.

The former Chief of Staff to former Governor, Rochas Okorocha, stated that the APC has undermined its founding fathers and old members in preference of new members who don’t have the charisma to drive the party.
According to Nwosu, APC may not survive the general elections in 2023 if it fails to take the necessary rescue measures.

“What is happening to APC in the South East is a result of a poor reward system. The party undermined those that worked so hard to plant the party in the zone and instead embraced newcomers who do not have what it takes to endear the party to the people,” he said.

“The APC must then retrace its steps in the conduct of free and fair primaries and declare the winner without manipulation in the forthcoming 2023 general elections, reconcile aggrieved members or it would be consumed by crisis.”
“If the founding fathers of the party are not appeased and handed back the reins of the party, the fortune will continue to go down.”
