Former Chief of Staff to Imo
State Governor, Mr Uche Nwosu, has vowed that the threat by the National
Working Committee (NWC) to aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) to withdraw their suits or face sanctions amounts to arm-twisting.
The APC NWC had threatened to
sanction members who took the party to court over the fallout of the
just-concluded primaries, if they refused to withdraw the suits.
But Nwosu, who said he won the
October 6 governorship primary, insisted that the threat of sanction would not
stop him from pursuing the matter to a logical conclusion and reclaim his
mandate.
The APC chieftain in a statement
on Tuesday said he discovered that the Chairman of the APC Primary Election
Committee, Ahmed Gulak, was allegedly assigned to deliver a certain aspirant.
According to him, he raised the
alarm through a letter to Oshiomhole but was ignored.
He said: “It is unfortunate that
the National Chairman of our party is just waking up now after causing the
trouble. He had all the time to resolve the issue before now but refused to do
so. In line with the constitution of the party, I exhausted all avenues to have
my matter resolved, using internal mechanism, but nobody came to my aid.
“I personally wrote three letters
to the National Chairman and I have the acknowledgment, but he never responded
to any of the letters.
“My first letter was to inform that
Ahmed Gulak was not coming to conduct a primary in Imo State, that he was
coming to impose a certain aspirant. But he snubbed me. The second was to
complain about how Gulak absconded to Abuja to announce a fake result; still,
he didn’t respond. The last one was to tell him not to substitute my name as
the winner of the governorship primary.
“All the letters were never
considered by the National Chairman, who substituted my name. He had a lot of
time to resolve the issue, but he did nothing. Now that I am in court, I will
pursue my matter to a logical conclusion and reclaim my stolen mandate. No
amount of threat will make me abandon my mandate.”
