Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State have voiced their disapproval of the recent appointment of Bianca Ojukwu as a minister-designate, labeling the decision as an act against party interests. They expressed their concerns regarding President Bola Tinubu's choice to appoint Ojukwu, a member of the Board of Trustees of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), without prior consultation with APC members.
During an emergency meeting held in Awka on Thursday, October 24, APC stakeholders condemned the appointment, asserting that it represents a severe breach of party loyalty and could diminish the morale of their members.
High Chief Bunty Onuigbo, the South East Zonal Secretary of APC and a member of the APC Elders Forum in Anambra, articulated the party’s frustration. "This is nothing but an act of anti-party, and it is detrimental. By empowering members of other political parties at the expense of the APC in Anambra State, the President is not supporting party loyalty," he stated. Onuigbo further questioned the potential consequences of Ojukwu’s appointment, asking, "Does Mr. President want a mass defection of APC members in Anambra to the APGA? Is he indirectly working for APGA in Anambra State?"
He described the situation as both "unheard of and highly demoralizing," highlighting that the party leadership in Abuja appears to be strengthening rival parties at the expense of the APC. Bianca Ojukwu's appointment has sparked considerable discussion across various social media platforms, with many Nigerians debating the implications of the President's decision. Out of the seven ministers appointed on Wednesday, October 23, Ojukwu's selection has garnered the most attention.
