We Don’t Want Onyeama again, Enugu APC spitfires, rejects Buhari nominee.

by

The Enugu state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday expressed disapproval over reappointment of former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama.

The party described the appointment as a “terrible mistake.
President Muhammadu Buhari had yesterday sent a list of 43 ministerial nominees to the Senate for confirmation with Onyeama taking the slot of Enugu state.

 

But while rejecting his nomination, Enugu state APC  chapter stated that going by Onyeama’s abysmal performance during the president’s first tenure in office, such “character ought not to have any business in the next level second term agenda of the APC-led federal executive council.”

Enugu state APC chairman, Dr. Ben Nwoye, said the development was not for the interest of Enugu and Nigeria in general, saying the ex- foreign Affairs Minister did more harm than good to APC in Enugu state during his first outing as a minister, stressing that he never believed in party supremacy.

According to Nwoye, “rather than joining hands with the leadership of APC in the state to ensure the progress of the party, Onyeama was busy wasting tax payers money in sponsoring crisis and sowing seed of discord.”

The chairman insisted that reappointing the former minister into the federal executive council would further destroy the party in Enugu because “this is a man who have penchant for pulling down party structure.”

According to him, “Aside Enugu state, Nigerians in Diaspora, never felt the impact of Oyeama’s office for the four years he occupied the Foreign Affairs Ministry seat.”Nwoye also called on the upper chamber of the nation’s National Assembly (Senate), to carry out a proper investigation on the allegations against the former Minister which escaped 8th senate during his previous screening.
