The Minister of Labour and Productivity, Dr Chris Ngige is locked in a battle with Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State for declaring that Senator Ken Nnamani is the leader of South East APC: “There’s no such position as South East APC leader in our party’s constitution. No clause or section of the constitution provides for such position in our party. It’s a storm in a teacup; we don’t want that to cause disunity. So this is a non-issue at all.”

“We looked at our ongoing registration exercise state by state, and made recommendations on how we can get more people to join our party; our door is wide open. We welcome people except those who are disqualified by the membership clause in our constitution. If you belong to any other party or any other organization whose aims and aspirations are detrimental to the progress of our party, you are not qualified.”
