Friday, January 24, 2025 - A former National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Chief Edozie Njoku, has been sworn in as the new National Chairman of the National Rescue Mission, NRM.
Chief Njoku had dumped APGA and emerged the National Chairman of the NRM
following an emergency national convention held by the party Abuja on Friday.
The former APGA chieftain became the new National Chairman of the NRM
following the resignation of Amb. Isaac Chigozie Udeh from the position during
the convention.
Mr Udeh stepped down to take the position of the National Organising
Secretary of the party.
Speaking during the swearing-in and handing over ceremony in Abuja on
Tuesday, the former National Chairman of the party, who is now the National
Organising Secretary, Isaac Chigozie Udeh, opened up on why he decided to step
down for Njoku.
He said, “The interest of the party supersedes any individualistic
interests, and that is why I paid that price.
“That is why I made that sacrifice to ensure that this party is
repositioned to the height that is required of it to win elections in this
country.”
Earlier on, Njoku conceded defeat, saying he would comply with the judgment
recognising Sylvester Ezeokenwa as the National Chairman of APGA.
This was after the Victor Oye-led faction of the party, backed by the
Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo, was recognised
by the Supreme Court.
