‘’The party is growing in the state but its success depends on winning elections. People were afraid of the leadership.
“I feel ashamed of being in a party that does not win elections. That is why we want to rejig the party to bring in leaders who will not use it for business.''

PM News reported that he said that the failures of the Enugu state chapter of the APC in the past seven years had made it necessary to rejig the party.

The politician criticised party members who speak disparagingly of the APC in the media.

He also faulted some former leaders of the party in the state for purportedly swearing-in ward executive members two days after the congress.

Nnamani said the national caretaker committee of the party did not authorize any chapter to swear in anybody.
