The
Publicity Secretary of the APC in Enugu State, Mrs Kate Offor and the
Director General of Voice of Nigeria (VON), Mr Osita Okechukwu might be
in serious trouble over their utterances against the Deputy Senate
President.
Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu
The Enugu State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is
on fire following the decision of the party to set up two disciplinary
committees to investigate its Publicity Secretary, Mrs Kate Offor and
the Director General of Voice of Nigeria (VON), Mr Osita Okechukwu for
allegedly issuing unauthorised press statements “that, most often, do not conform with the party’s positions.”
It was gathered that Mrs Offor had issued a statement on behalf of
the party advising the Deputy Senate President, Chief Ike Ekweremadu not
to contemplate switching membership to APC because he would not be
welcomed.
According to Daily Sun, the two committees have been constituted
and Mrs Offor and Okechukwu notified to appear before them even as the
committees have one month to submit their reports.
But when contacted, Mrs Offor and Okechukwu said no disciplinary
committee had contacted them, saying the party leaders in the state only
wanted to be unnecessarily busy.
However, the state APC Chairman, Dr Ben Nwoye and his Deputy, Mr
Adolphus Udeh confirmed that the party was investigating the two
stalwarts for publishing unauthorised materials, particularly the one
on Ekweremadu.
Nwoye said the committees set up border on publications that are unauthorised.
He said: “A committee was set up for that; they said Ekweremadu
should not join the party, and you people published it. You people knew
there are many inconsistencies between Kate Offor’s position and the
party’s position.
“There are certain things, as chairman of the party, I don’t
have the authority to say except after meeting with the state
executives, I can then represent their views; but that view has to be a
majority agreement…” For example, if we say we don’t want Ekweremadu,
then we should call a meeting in the state and agree that we don’t want
Ekweremadu by giving our various opinions than this waking up by an
individual to start insulting the man.
“What they do is, one person will write the release and sign it
with another person’s name, we know that. Reporters know that there are
conflicts in those releases. As chairman, I cannot just wake up and say
something without consultations; we have to articulate it before saying
the state APC has agreed on so, so issue, we have a constitution,” Nwoye said.
But insisting that no party disciplinary committee has invited her, Mrs Offor said:
“I don’t know about any disciplinary committee. They have not given me
any notice or invitation to that effect. I am the publicity secretary of
the party, so I don’t need the permission of anybody to do my job.
“I was elected and the chairman was elected, too. Our party
constitution did not state anywhere that the publicity secretary will
have to take permission from anybody before he or she can issue a
statement. Somebody said Ike Ekweremadu should join APC to retain his
seat as deputy senate president and I said Ekweremadu does not need to
join APC to retain his position. If he wants to come into APC it should
be that he wants to be a progressive, not on the grounds that he wants
to retain his seat.
“The chairman (Nwoye) issued a statement that he will register
him, personally, if he decides to come in, but his men issued a
counter-statement that Ekweremadu is not ready to join APC.”
Also, Okechukwu, when contacted, waved aside the disciplinary committee set up by the party to investigate him, saying, “please go and publish it, they only want to be busy.”
