Bianca Ojukwu?s appointment is anti-party activity ? Anambra APC leaders

Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State have condemned the appointment of Bianca Ojukwu as a minister-designate, calling it an anti-party action. 

They questioned the rationale behind President Bola Tinubu’s decision to appoint Bianca, a member of the Board of Trustees of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), without consulting APC party members. 

 

During an emergency meeting of party stakeholders in Awka on Thursday, October 24, the APC leaders described the appointment as a gross violation of party loyalty that undermines the morale of their members. 
 

High Chief Bunty Onuigbo, the South East Zonal Secretary of APC and a member of the APC Elders Forum in Anambra, who spoke on behalf of the stakeholders, said: “This is nothing but an act of anti-party, and it is detrimental. By empowering members of other political parties at the expense of the APC in Anambra State, Mr President is not supporting party loyalty,” he stated. 

Onuigbo further questioned the implications of the appointment, asking, “Does Mr President want a mass defection of APC members in Anambra to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA)? Is he indirectly working for APGA in Anambra State?” 

He expressed that the situation is both “unheard of and highly demoralising,” lamenting that the leadership in Abuja seems to be enhancing the fortunes of rival parties at the expense of the APC. 

Of the seven ministers appointed on Wednesday,  October 23, Bianca Ojukwu’s appointment has been the most talked about, with Nigerians across various social media accounts debating this move by the president.
