The Enugu State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has rejected the appointment of two citizens of the state into the governing board of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA).
The duo of Chukwunwike Uzo and Louretta Aniagolu were shortlisted for the 13 – member FERMA board which was reportedly approved by President Muhammadu Buhari last Friday.
Addressing newsmen shortly after a meeting of the party’s state executive committee, chairman of the party in the state, Dr Ben Nwoye said Aniagolu and Uzo were not members of the ruling party and as such should not be appointed into the FERMA board to represent Enugu State.
“These two appointments are objectionable to the APC members in Enugu state. Aniagolu is not a member of the APC – she currently serves as a member of the economic committee of the PDP government in Enugu State. She is championing the Centenary City, a PDP government project in Enugu,” Nwoye said.
“She funds the PDP in Enugu State – she aids and abets those who would not want to see the APC succeed in Enugu State,” he added.
He affirmed that the APC in the state would petition President Muhammadu Buhari and the leadership of the National Assembly over the issue, stressing that most of the appointments that had come to the state from the Federal Government always favoured individuals from Eke Ward in Udi Local Government Area of the state.
