Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday held his rally in Enugu without some chieftains of the party in the state.
Some of the stakeholders boycotted the presidential campaign rally after receiving Tinubu at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.
The stakeholders were the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama; former Senate President, Ken Nnamani; former governor of the state, Sullivan Chime; and former Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Eugene Odo; among others.
Briefing journalists, Chime said that the stakeholders were at the airport to receive the presidential candidate but because of the internal issue they had with Enugu APC chairman, Ugochukwu Agballah, they would not appear at the rally.
He recalled that the stakeholders had staged a peaceful protest at its National Secretariat in Abuja over the chairman’s attitude and regretted that nothing was done about it.
The former governor said that someone not known by the party emerged the party chairman and since then, the party had been in disarray.

He also complained that the governorship candidate of the party and the deputy were from the same senatorial zone noting that it had never happened since the history of democracy.
The former governor said they would all work hard to ensure APC’s victory during the general election but they were left with no option than to distance themselves from such illegal act.
On his part, Nnamani said the party’s state chairman and the governorship candidate were running the party like sole administrators.
Nnamani said that they neglected their leaders in all the party’s activities, pointing out that the calibre of people they had in APC were people that could take the party to greater heights.
He, however, said that if the mess did not stop, there would be no peace in the state.
Also contributing, Odo said that the Enugu rally was not witnessed by the party leaders in the state due to the chairman’s attitude towards the stakeholders.
Odo explained that Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma as the leader of the party in South East should ensure the unity of the party.
