…Says party reward system is faulty
By: Felix Ikpotor
A former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State, Golden Ngozi Chioma has resigned his membership of the party citing faulty reward system and conquest attitude of the leadership of the party as his reason.
He also said leader of the party, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is not ready for genuine reconciliation of aggrieved members.
Chioma who is an ally of Senator Magnus Abe stated this after his resignation.
He said: “All those who fought for the party like myself and others since 2014 till now have nothing to show for it, the party’s reward system is very abysmal, rather those who have been opportune to find themselves in some good spaces have been lapdogs who have been throwing gossips to please the leader either in the social media have been getting all the appointments. It’s so unfortunate that those who have laboured for the party are left to sulk while those who are lapdogs are busy getting appointments upon appointments while they do nothing and contribute nothing to the party.”
Chioma who is a former leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly stated that Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is not sincere about true reconciliation.
“This same story of reconciliation has always been on the front burner which is not clear and it has never helped anybody. All those who are aggrieved have lost fate. We had an opportunity to resolve all the problems in the party before the congresses but nobody took heed to this advice. What I see in my former party, the APC is more of conquest attitude which is not a political gain for anybody. Politics is not all about conquest, everybody is needed to make meaningful contribution for the party to win. When you conquer somebody you subjugate the person to inhumane condition and that’s not politics, but if you travail over somebody in a political contest you get an opportunity where you reconcile with the person but rather what have we in the state in my former party is ‘kill them’, ‘annihilate them’ ‘How many them be’.
He said his former party is sinking and advised them to rejig the leadership if they must survive.
“The party is sinking and if it must survive they must change the leadership,” he said.
On the implication of his move on his political career, he said he was moving somewhere, adding that he will announce his next political move soon.
