The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has upheld the state executive committee led by MacDonald Ebere in Imo state.
Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Yakubu Ajaka, told journalists after a meeting of the National Working Committee of the party on Friday.
Prior to this, the Deputy Secretary of the APC Festus Fuanter had recognized the faction led by Hon. Dan Nwafor in a letter of 15th of June.
Ajaka said; “The National Working Committee NWC just finished a meeting now and in their decision rescind that letter.
“So the status quo in Imo remains, that the MacDonald Ebere led state Committee remains the substantive Chairman of the party in Imo state.
“There is no change of leadership, so what happened was just a mere mistake. The Supreme Court judgement was very clear, the current executive of MacDonald was a product of Congress.
“The Congress that produced Nwafor’s group has just elapsed by decision of NEC in 2022. So the current Exco there now is the only recognized leadership in Imo.
“This is the decision of the NWC today”.
However the National Secretary of the APC, Senator Iyiola Omisore was not at the meeting.
Ajaka explained that the Deputy Secretary the statement was at the NWC meeting.
