The All Progressives Congress (APC) screening committee on
Monday, disqualified Senator Uche Ekwunife from contesting in the forthcoming
Anambra Central Senatorial District rerun elections under the umbrella of the
party.
In a report gathered by Breaking Times, the screening
committee noted that Senator Uche Ekwunife could be classified as more or less
a fair weather hen, raising deep concerns over the way and manner she dumps
political parties at will, leaving the parties factionalized. She jumped from the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to
Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) back to PDP or vice versa and now to APC,
the report emphasized. They further noted that her antecedent contravenes
Section 4(3) of the 2014 Guideline for nomination of candidate for public
office.
The screening committee, however commended the doggedness
and faithfulness of Barrister Sharon Ikeazor, who was a member of the
defunct All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP), woman leader of the defunct Congress
for Progressive Change (CPC) and woman leader interim National Executive
Committee of the All Progressives Party (APC). They highlighted the fact that
her trajectory shows loyalty, perseverance and consistency to the emergence of
the APC and was consequently recommended to fly the party’s flag in the rerun
elections.
Recall that Senator Uche Ekwunife who was sacked by the
Appeal court in Enugu on December 6, 2015 on grounds of irregularities dumped
the PDP for the APC, citing her decision as an important one because the Igbos
needed to have a strong representation in national politics.
