The on-going All Progressives Congress (APC) Membership Registration and Revalidation exercise has re-united all the warring groups in the Enugu State chapter of the party.
DAILY POST reports that since 2018, the party remained factionalized in the State, with the foreign affairs minister, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama, backing one faction under the chairmanship of Deacon Okey Ogbodo.
But throughout the period, the National Working Committee of the APC recognized the Dr. Ben Nwoye-led leadership as the authentic structure of the party.
All the squallbles now appear to have been laid to rest as Onyeama, among other dissenting voices, stormed the APC secretariat in the State on Monday, where the registration panel met with stakeholders.
Arch. Bala Barnabas Bantex, a former deputy governor of Kaduna State, between 2015 to 2019 says his relationship with Governor Nasir El-Rufai remains cordial.
“I still meet with my former boss frequently, who makes sure that l am kicking fine,” the former deputy governor revealed.
The former deputy governor, who has gone into a quiet life since 2019, hardly speaks publicly.
But during a brief encounter with newsmen, Bantex assured that he still enjoyed lots of goodwill and respect from governor Nasir El-Rufai.
He reassured, “It is not possible to be a Deputy Governor to the State Governor, Nasir El-Rufa’i, and be finished.”
