There are strong indications that the festering crises in the All Progressive Congress (APC)in Ngor Okpala LGA in Imo State deepening as a meeting summoned by the Imo State Chairman of the APC, Chief Hilary Eke, to settle the squabble raging among senior members of the party has ended in a stalemate.
The meeting which held in the state party office at IMSU round about, Works Layout, Owerri was attended by the LGA officers including the party elders from the LGA.
Sources say the bone of contention is the position of APC chairmanship in Ngor Okpala LGA, presently occupied by Hon Okey Azuonwu.
A faction of the party led by two former Commissioners, namely, Dr TOE Ekechi, and Barr Ogbonna Amadi allegedly want Hon Azuonwu removed as the LGA chairman, while the Elders led by Hon Greg Egu, Chief Val Okere wants Hon Okey Azuonwu to remain in office and complete his tenure.
It was also learnt that the TOE Ekechi group had petitioned the state executive council, led by Dr Hilary Eke, to replace Azuonwu over what they termed Azuonwu’s anti party activities during the last general elections.
