The Enugu branch of the Any Progressives Congress, APC, on Sunday rejected all campaign contributions from Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the party’s presidential candidate.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the proposal was presented by the party’s gubernatorial candidate, Chief Uche Nnaji, before it was unanimously adopted by members during a stakeholders’ meeting at the South-East Secretariat of the party.
Nnaji claimed that the current conflict affecting the APC branch in Enugu State was due to the campaign fund.

Speaking further about the meeting between some state-level party officials and the APC’s national leadership, he said the call for Barr. Ugochukwu Agballah to be fired as the state chairman was a fruitless endeavor.
He said: “We learnt of the mischief going on among our brothers, but the mischief will not go anywhere under our watch. About six months to election you want to remove the State exco of a party that is doing very well.
“When we took over, there was no party, it was existing for another party, which was paying them. We asked those ones to leave and we are happy they have left.
“Most of these gladiators don’t have presence in any ward. Some of them, their ward is owing rent for two years, they can’t pay N30,000.
“Yet, they want to remove a capacity chairman. You can’t touch an exco that is doing super well.

“Tinubu’s money is behind the APC crisis in Enugu State. They want to create confusion, after which they will say, there is faction, divide the campaign fund.
“They did it in 2015, did it 2019. The same human beings that did it then are the ones repeating it now.
“I will be meeting with our national chairman on Monday and then with Tinubu on Tuesday. I will tell Tinubu not to bring his money to Enugu.
“Enugu State doesn’t need Tinubu’s money, let them not send it. We will use our money and work. When we finish election, we will go for refund. If they bring it now, they may start killing us.”
