The All Progressives Congress, APC, has dissolved the Enugu State working Committee of the party.
DAILY POST reports that the decision was taken during the APC 179th National Working Committee meeting on Thursday in Abuja.
This is preparatory to the detection of Governor Peter Mbah to the broom party.
Our correspondent reports that the dissolution came barely 2 days after the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji resigned over alleged certificate forgery.
Nnaji is an ally of Barr Ugo Agballah, the now ex-chairman of APC in Enugu State.
The NWC has now dissolved the Agballah-led SWC with immediate effect.
In its place, former chairman of the party in the state, Barr Ben Nwoye is now the new helmsman.
A former Speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Barr Eugene Odo is the Secretary of the 7-man caretaker committee.
Resolution taken during the meeting was signed by Hon. Durosinmi Meseko, Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC.
It read in parts:
“The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) held its 179th meeting at the Party’s National Secretariat, Abuja, on Thursday, 9th October, 2025, presided over by the National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda.
“At the conclusion of the meeting, the following resolutions were reached:
“Dissolution of Enugu State Executive Committee and Appointment of Caretaker Committee
“The NWC approved the dissolution of the APC Enugu State Executive Committee with immediate effect, following a comprehensive review of the state of the Party in Enugu State.
“Consequently, a seven (7) member Caretaker Committee has been constituted to oversee the affairs of the Party in the State.
The Committee, which will be inaugurated on Friday, 10th October, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at the Party’s National Secretariat in Abuja, is composed as follows:
Dr. Ben Nwoye Chairman
H.E. Mrs. Fidelia Njoeze – Member
Comrade Peter Chime – Member
Dr. (Mrs.) Oby Ajih Member
Dr. Chiedozie Nwafor – Member
Engr. Emma Ekeh – Member
Rt. Hon. Eugene Odoh – Secretary
Meanwhile, Governor Peter Mbah is on his way to the APC.
Both Agballah and Nnaji had vowed that he would not join the party.
But foundation members, including Nwoye and Mr Osita Okechukwu, maintained that the party was ready to receive the governor.
It is now obvious that the governor’s defection will happen in a few days.
