MBAITOLI APC PRIMARY ELECTIONS: Mbieri Stakeholders Reject Akuchie's Candidature


...Moves Motion To Make Ezebuihe Apex Leader 
as Uche Nwole gives reasons...




Ahead of the All Progressives Congress Primaries for Local Government Council Elections in Imo state, Mbieri Stakeholders in Mbaitoli LGA have unanimously rejected Fidelis Akuchie and moved a motion to make Chief Princewill Ezewuihe (BABA ALI) the Apex Leader of the party.

They declared this yesterday 9th August, 2024 during the Mbieri Stakeholders' Meeting held in Villa Surive Hotel Owerri, where critical issues bothering Mbieri Clan's chances of clinching the Mbaitoli Council seat were deliberated. 

Speaking at the occasion, Prince Kelechi Ngumezi (Oracle) expressed utmost disappointment at the leadership of the Mbieri Clan, saying that the leaders have failed the people by not initially producing a consensus candidate to contest in the primaries alongside other candidates from other clans instead of allowing eleven aspirants to buy forms from a particular clan.

 He vehemently condemned the projection of Fidelis Akuchie, a former factional President General in Mbieri, by the Apex Leader, Chief Marcon Nlemigbo who was also a former Imo State APC Chairman, stating that a leader of such standing ought not to have any candidate, instead should be neutral and work for the interest of the party. 

He insisted that an Apex Leader is supposed to protect the interest of other aspirants who are more competent, qualified, and prepared to occupy the chairmanship position of Mbaitoli LGA. 

For peace to rain in Mbieri, he suggested that Chief Marcon must be called to order and advised to step Fidelis Akuchie down, then a proper meeting should be conducted amongst the candidates to choose one aspirant who can represent Mbieri Clan in the forthcoming primaries.

Ngumezi further moved a motion seeking for the appointment of Chief Princewill Ezewuihe (BABA ALI) as the Apex leader of the party in Mbieri Clan.

His suggestions were followed by widespread accolades and acceptance by the stakeholders who took turns to air their views which pointed towards the same direction, condemning the imposition of Akuchie against the will of Ndi Mbieri. 


Hon. Uche Nwole, a former Rep Member for Mbaitoli/Ikeduru Federal Constituency used the opportunity to clarify his reasons for purchasing the chairmanship form, revealing that his choice aspirants were rejected by the Clan's  leadership without genuine reasons and instead, the Apex leader chose to project a candidate who is not competent, reliable and had initially destroyed the unity of Mbieri.

He stated that he has always had the interest of the Mbaitoli people at heart, hence has invested massively in the LGA with his resources and also leveraged on his position as a former Rep. Member to attract laudable projects for the people of Mbaitoli. 

He maintained that it will be unreasonable and unfair not to contest to serve his people, going by his wealth of knowledge and experience in leadership, and allow an unqualified candidate who has destroyed the oneness and  Peace of Mbeiri to occupy the  the position.


However, he stated that since many aspirants have purchased the form,  it will be fair to use a ballot system to choose a consensus aspirant for the Mbieri people, adding that it will be difficult for someone to drop his ambition when he must have spent a lot of money.  


Many critical stakeholders and reputable Mbeiri clan leaders graced the occasion, including Prof. Chinedu Anosike (CONA), President General of MbIERI, Chief Ugonna Achuko, former Development Coordinator for Mbaitoli East, Chief Martin Onyeugo, Chief Kelechi Obi, the acting chairman, APC Mbaitolu LGA,Mbaitoli APC Woman Leader, the three APC  ward chairmen from Mbieri Clan amongst others.
