The National Chairman of the National Rescue Movement(NRM), Amb. Isaac Chigozie Udeh has said, that the judgement of the federal high court on the 19th of April has proven that there are no fractions in NRM as he stated categorically that he remained the authentic chairman of the party.
Udeh in a telephone chat with journalists, on Sunday, also stated that his leadership style is not the cause of the crisis that rocked the party but pledged to improve on it, to ensure that the party is properly presented in the democratic space of the country.
“The court ruling has proven that I am the national chairman of the National Rescue Movement (NRM) not just the chairman but the authentic national chairman of the party as recognised by the law of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the INEC.
“This victory is for our party NRM. It is a victory for democracy, victory for all members of the party, NRM in general and victory for those who stood by me from the beginning, which is those who stood for the truth and saw what happened on the 23rd of October last year as a jamboree.”
The National NRM national chairman while welcoming the judgement of the Court ruling on his position as the national chairman of the party, described it as a vindication by God.
“The court has vindicated my position, that of my supporters in the party, and INEC. I will ensure that everybody will be carried along in the party.
“I am going to ensure that the leadership style I have, which is one of the best in this country is improved.”
Udeh also debunked the notion that the party is just out to be traded during elections,” our party NRM, is only there be traded during elections is a wrong impression.
“Our determination during elections is always to win and not to be traded during elections. And we have never been traded not even once since 2019 till the 2023 general election. The only thing is that it is very difficult for new parties to win elections in this country.
“The mechanism that I will employ in Edo State to win the forthcoming gubernatorial election is good thinking and good product.
“That is putting a man of integrity, spotless and unpolluted candidate that has the people in heart, a man who has been a victim of bad governance in the state since 1999 till date, having such a man is the number one mechanism because he is an acceptable candidate to the people of the state.
“We have only one party NRM and the party has only one candidate. I want to state here clearly that we have no two camps in NRM by this judgement of the federal high court on the 18th of April 2024 it is clear that we do not have fractions,” he added.
