We Have Not Endorsed Any Anambra Governorship Aspirant— Ikemba Front
Ikemba Front, a frontline political pressure group within the All Progressives Congress (APC) says it has not endorsed any aspirant for the Nov. 8 governorship election in Anambra.
.
Ikemba Front said this in a communique issued after its joint national executive committee and general executive meeting in Awka on Thursday.
The communique which was signed by Mr Ike-Obiegbu Ikeobi, the group’s National Secretary said it believed and supported the political zoning arrangement in Anambra State.
Ikemba Front dismissed the purported endorsement of any aspirant as null and void and of no effect as those behind it were not known to the group.
According to the group, we are obligated to stand by the existing zoning arrangement that has seen power move from Anambra Central to North and now South Senatorial Districts
“We hereby state categorically that it is still the turn of Anambra South Senatorial District to complete their term based on the aforementioned zoning arrangement.
“That the purported endorsement of an aspirant by some imposters is not known to Ikemba Front thus, the jamboree called endorsement is null and void and of no effect,” it said
The communique said Ikemba Front founded by Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and resuscitated by late Sen Ifeanyi was one under the leadership of Chief Sir Arinzechukwu Awogu as National Coordinator.
It announced the suspension and sack of the former National Youth leader of the group and eleven others for their various roles in the attempt to undermine the principles of Ikemba Front.
“Consequent upon their nefarious activities within the organisation and deliberate attempt to trade with the name of Ikemba Front have been suspended and subsequently sacked,” it said
Ikemba Front announced new appointments including an Elders Council with Prof. Melie Onyejegbu and Mr Obidi Nwabueze as Chairman and Secretary, respectively, to function as the apex decision making body of the group.
