They were formally received into the APC party at the state party secretariat in Enugu by a group of high-ranking officials, including the state party chairman, Ugochukwu Agballa, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Mr. Uche Nnaji, the National Population Commissioner for Enugu state, Hon.

In a communiqué issued after the Stakeholders’ meeting on Saturday, the APC in Enugu state extended felicitations to President Bola Tinubu on his 72nd birthday, noting the celebration’s alignment with Good Friday and the Holy month of Ramadan.
The stakeholders praised President Tinubu for his economic reforms, particularly acknowledging the gradual stabilization of foreign exchange. They likened the current economic challenges to the pains of childbirth, which ultimately lead to joy, echoing the President’s analogy and urging patience amongst Nigerians.
The stakeholders also announced the party’s willingness to welcome new members and possibly reintegrate those previously suspended or expelled, contingent upon sincere repentance.
