This is not the best of times for the All Progressives Congress APC, Chairman in Owerri West LGA, Imo State, Mr Charles Obieze Amadi.
The LGA, Ward Officers and Leaders of the party in Owerri West LGA have petitioned the State Chairman of the party, Chief Hilary Eke, to sack Obieze Amadi over what they described as his high handedness and running the party as a personal property.
Following these alleged sins of Obieze Amadi, a vote of No Confidence was passed on him after Owerri West APC held its meeting last week.
“We the Executive members of APC, Owerri West LGA/Ward, having endured tremendous hardship under the misguided rule of Mr Charles Obieze Amadi the current LGA chairman, and tired of his unprogressive antics, hereby pass a vote of No Confidence on his continued Leadership of our party, All Progressive Congress APC” the Leaders agreed in unison in the vote of No Confidence made available to Trumpeta Newspaper.
The letter further alleged that the chairman disregarded the authentic list of Owerri West APC Executive, but rather constituted his own hand-picked individuals to run the party, which they said draws back the progress of the party in Owerri West LGA.
The Document asked Mr Charles Obieze Amadi to give account of all the funds that entered the party’s Coffers, including “the contract meant for party Executives and Leaders” which they alleged Obieze Amadi personally cornered to himself.
They alleged that the party Chairman lifted the names and signatures “of over 50 party members in an advertorial he sponsored against Lady Ugochi Nnanna Okoro” without the approval and knowledge of the signatries, which they described as fraudulent and have therefore threatened to sue for forgery before a court.
“In the light of the above, and since all efforts to make him see reason have failed: Moreso as he prefers to operate as a Sole Administrator, we have no option than to pass this vote of No Confidence of Mr Charles Obieze Amadi” the document stated.
Meanwhile, all efforts to reach Mr Obieze Amadi by Trumpeta failed, but a source close to the embattled Chairman told this Newspaper that all the allegations leveled against the Chairman are baseless, as he remains the authentic LGA Chairman of Owerri West APC.

PDP Stakeholders’ Meeting: Anyanwu Denies Leaving PDP, … Rekindles Hope of Party Members, Empowers Ward, LGA, State Exco with over 150m The National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has denied rumour that he was leaving the Peoples Democratic Party, assuring party members that he would remain in the party even if everyone leaves. “Do not be deceived, confused or misled by anyone, I am in PDP and will remain in the party until our mandate is achieved. Take note that ADC or APP will never win any election in Imo state and Nigeria at large. Anyone deceiving you or spreading falsehood that PDP is dead is only suffering from schizophrenia” “It’s only in PDP that you can find matured party members, our party is like the old NPP where it regarded human beings. Those who claim to be members and leaders of ruling party are finding it difficult to feed, but in PDP, we are feeding well even when we are not in power” Anyanwu made this declaration on Wednesday while addressing members during the New Year Special Stakeholders meeting at party secretariate, Owerri. Accordingly, Anyanwu, in appreciation of the dedication of party members, stakeholders, ward, LGA and State Exco lavishly rewarded them with gift items valued over 150m tagged; “New Year Unity Gift” Adding further, Senator Anyanwu expressed delight that despite minor internal wrangling that almost derailed the vision of PDP few months ago, party members in the state remained dedicated and steadfast with the party. According to him, the trailer load of over 1000 bags of rice and other items to blend it were not to induce them, but to appreciate are them for working for the party in the state. He reiterated the need for all hands to be on deck towards building a viable and formidable political party in the state, adding that those stagging a gang up against PDP in Imo State and Nigeria do not have what it takes to dislodge the party in any contest. He called on party leaders, critical stakeholders and members across the 305 wards in the state not to be deterred or allow political shenanigans of unstable politicians to distract them from working for the party. In attendance include, the 27 LGA Chairmen, women leaders, youth leaders, State Working Committee, Southeast leaders, former LGA Chairmanship candidates, stakeholders, critical leaders and special citizens, among others.
