The latest elevation of the ex-Abia party chairman, followed the unfortunate death of former occupant from Abia, Barrister Friday Nwosu in March 2023.
The late Nwosu was elected as the welfare officer of the governing APC in the country at a well-concluded national convention of the party which took place in March 2022 in Abuja.
However, the leadership of the progressive party had on Wednesday, released am amended lists of names of party members to fill some vacant position of the national working committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The former APC national vice chairman southeastern Nigeria, confided that Nwankpa, having displayed team spirit, capacity and ability as a dedicated party man will not disappoint the party in this new onerous task in taking APC to higher pedestal, especially in the party’s efforts to achieve electoral success and form a government in Abia, and all other states in southeast region

His words: “This clash of interests being witnessed in the fold of Abia APC has done us no good but rather, it has caused the party huge damages in political development.
“All party members who are genuine lovers of democracy must sheathe their swords for the APC to record electoral breakthrough in future elections and assume the leadership in all states in southeast more especially, Abia and provide basic dividends of democracy to every doorsteps of Abia populaces
