The chairman, All Progressives Congress (APC), Ebonyi State, Hon Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha has put an end to what he described as a mere family disturbance in Ezza South local government area of the state.
The state Chairman of the party, Chief Emegha made this known after a peace talk which took place behind closed doors where the involved party faithful buried their hatchets.
At the party’s Secretariat in Abakaliki, Emegha said he intervened in what appeared to be a supremacy battle between some groups loyal to the Senator representing Ebonyi Central Zone, Engr Ken Eze and another devoted to Mrs. Euphemia Nwali the Chairman of the local government because of his position as a father who would not allow any ulterior motive to disrupt the administration of the state Governor.
He said “there is no father that will see crisis in his home and he will be happy. I will not allow anybody to cause disharmony or outright war under this peaceful administration of our dear Governor, His Excellency, Right Honourable Dr. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru.
“There were little misunderstanding between the leaders of our party in various levels. So, I felt that it was necessary for me to intervene.
“It was like family discussions, it was like correcting ourselves, it was like knowing what you are supposed to do, it was like I erred in certain areas and it was like I am sorry”.
On his part, the Senator representing Ebonyi Central Zone, Engr Ken Eze said he and other warring bigwigs have agreed to embrace peace and commended the party Chairman for wadding into the crisis.
“All we just had here is just family meeting. In family, there are bound to be issues in one way or the other. It takes the wisdom of the father to take charge and call his children to order.
“So, that’s exactly what the leadership of the party has done today through the party Chairman, Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha being our father and our leader, has called his children and talked to us and everything was resolved amicably.
“You can see the Chairman of Ezza South Local Government, Mrs. Euphemia Nwali beside me and other leaders here and we are happy.
“With what we are seeing, there is new breath of life in Ezza South Local Government Area.
“Our supporters are already seeing that there is peace now, there will not be any disagreement between our supporters to warrant discipline. We are going to charge them from this meeting to key into the peace initiative that the party has made”, he stated.
The Chairman of Ezza South Local Government Area, Mrs. Euphemia Nwali said she has accepted the outcome of the meeting and commended the state party Chairman for uniting the stakeholders, describing him as a man of peace.
She said “the state party Chairman is a father indeed, he is a man of peace. He has brought peace to us and there is no way we will disobey the party Chairman. Party is supreme, we must abide by what the party says.
“We have a party Chairman who is doing wonderfully well, who are we not to abide by his decision?
Meanwhile, the outcome of this meeting has now laid to rest the speculations that there was a looming crisis that may fracture deeply the strength of APC in Ezza South local government area of Ebonyi State because it involved bigwigs.
