A leading governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Sir Paul Chukwuma, has tendered his resignation from the party.
Addressing his supporters at his residence in Umueri, Anambra East Local Government Area, Chukwuma stated that his decision was borne out of an inability to continue working with certain unprogressive individuals within the party’s state leadership.
He said: “We were among those who founded the APC and have made every effort to nurture and sustain it. Ward chairmen are the true custodians of the party. I have formally submitted my resignation to the chairman of the party in my ward.
“My support and loyalty remain unwavering—100 percent—for the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Our agenda has always been to connect Anambra to the centre.
“We need time to organise and ensure we can deliver beyond the usual five percent support we have historically given to the President. The fundamental issue has always been the quality of leadership in Anambra. The President is committed to fixing Nigeria, and we shall stand by him. However, we will not align ourselves with unprogressive elements in Anambra State.”
