Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Imo state, Chief Marcillinus Okechukwu Nlemigbo, has criticised a former National Chairman of the party, Comrade Adam Oshimohole, for condemning the on-party membership registration exercise.
Oshimohole had earlier on reportedly denounced the exercise as illegal.
Nlemigbo, while reacting to the submissions of the former national chairman of the APC after registration at the Umudagu Town Union hall, Ukwu Uko in the Mbaitoli Council area, wondered why the former party helmsman could query the authenticity of the exercise when he and the National leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, had taken part in the same exercise in their various wards.
He said, “Although I have not read or heard that the former National Chairman of the party made such a comment, if it is true, one begins to wonder why the same Oshiomhole who had already registered his ward should turn round and denounce the exercise”.
Chief Nlemigbo who expressed satisfaction with the success being recorded by the exercise nationwide, boasted that the APC would still retain power beyond 2023.
He said, “APC is the party to beat anytime and anywhere across the country because the masses are solidly behind us. They have seen the difference between us and the PDP and so we are not losing any sleep about what will be the outcome of the 2023 polls”.
He enjoined the South-East to embrace the APC so as to brighten the prospect for the realization of their presidential dream in 2023.
