Nwanjoku takes APC message to Udi as CoS flags off e-registration

Enugu State, like all its four sister states in the southeast, hates the “new” All Progressives Congress (APC). But one thing is sure: the party is gradually winning hearts in the face of relentless grassroots campaigns.

Earlier today, Governor Peter Mbah’s Chief of Staff, Barr. Victor Udeh, flagged off APC e-registration in a heavy ceremony that attracted massive crowd as well as bigwigs across the state.

Aninri’s Prince Ugochukwu Nwanjoku was present in solidarity that marks rare ingenuity and tradition of any ruling party in Enugu.

Also present was former Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Speaker of the state Assembly Chief Uche Ugwu, APC youths leader Peter Chime, as well as other high profile personalities.

Governor Mbah has ordered a mass membership e-registration across the 17 council areas last week. Although the exercise faced low reception initially, voters are beginning to embrace the once-hated APC gradually, as verified sources from database show.

Unlike its Anambra neighbour, Enugu is not good in playing opposition. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had ruled unchallenged for nearly 30 years before it was replaced with APC last year. While the “new” party work tirelessly ahead of 2027 victories, opposition parties are still enjoying their deep slumber.
