Northern Youths Assembly of Nigeria (NYAN) has thrown its weight behind the appointment of Barr Ben Nwoye as Chief of Staff to the National Vice Chairman, North at National Secretariat of the APC.
This was contained in a Communique signed and issued to Journalists in Bauchi by the Speaker of NYAN, Rt. Hon. Ukkasha Hamza Rahama after its meeting held in Abuja over the weekend.
The group described Ben Nwoye as a complete party man that has done so much for the All Progressive Congress in Enugu State and the entire South-East subregion making him one that stands among millions of contemporaries in the region.
According to the group, Ben Nwoye worked tirelessly towards the actualization of the Tinubu/Shetima presidency using his hard-earned resources, energy and logistics during the 2023 Presidential elections.
The group further stated that Ben Nwoye has been a grassroots politician who served as the first Chairman of the party in Enugu state and has been financing the affairs of the party using his resources since 2013.
“We therefore and by this ugly narratives called on the Deputy National Chairman of the ruling All Progressive Congress, Rt. Hon. Ali Bukar Dalori to ignore the fictitious political maneuver and appoint Ben Nwoye as the next Chief of Staff,” It stated.
The group stressed, “he is eminently qualified and competent to serve as Chief of Staff to the office of the Deputy National Chairman, North of the ruling All Progressive Congress and his appointment will gain more support to the party in the South East subregion.”
Meanwhile, NYAN has condemned the action of the Hon Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Chief Uche Nnaji and others from Enugu state who are allegedly opposing the appointment of Barr Ben Nwoye as Chief of Staff to the Deputy National Vice Chairman, North of the APC.
Ukkasha Hamza Rahama described the move by Uche Nnaji as “unfortunate and condemnable,” stating that, the stand of the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Chief Uche Nnaji against Ben Nwoye’s appointment to serve as Chief of Staff to the Deputy Chairman of the APC, Alhaji Ali Burkar Dalori is regrettable.
The group alleged that Uche Nnaji was surreptitiously trying to seize control of the All Progressives Congress in Enugu State, advising President Bola Tinubu to call him to order due to his attitude against the progress of the ruling All Progressive Congress in Enugu State
The Northern Youths Assembly of Nigeria (NYAN) was reacting to a communique issued by Enugu State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders at the end of its meeting held on Saturday, 25th November 2023.
The Enugu State APC stakeholders had opposed the appointment of Ben Nwoye as Chief of Staff alleging that he is not a member of the APC in the state nor did he work for the party during the 2023 General elections.
