Ebonyi State APC Campaign Council has condemned the attempted assassination of its State Party Chairman, Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha, who was almost murdered in his village on 26th December 2022.
The Director General of the Council, Chief Austin Umahi stated this when he led members of the campaign council, State and National Assembly Candidates of APC on a solidarity visit to Emegha in his Abakaliki residence.
The Director General who was visibly livid with the masterminds and perpetrators of the carnage stated that the attempt to kill the APC State Party Chairman was reprehensible.
He observed that Chief Emegha had made personal sacrifices for the party and deserves the respect of all true party faithful, pointing out that the party chairman's refusal to take the war to his enemies was not an act of cowardice, but an act of respect for the party leader,
He decried the losses in property and lives that Emegha suffered as a result of the failure of his assassins to get at him and kill him as a prime target of their evil mission.
The Ebonyi State APC Campaign Council condoled with the State Party Chairman and his family even as the Party Chairman assured the Council that the attacks on him and his household cannot deter his resolve as a committed party man to work for the victory of the APC at all levels in the state.
Emegha thanked the Divine Mandate Campaign Council and the Party Candidates for the visit, condolences and solidarity, reiterating that he would have become history if not for the whiskers and God's ultimate intervention.
According to him, the critical assignment of the assassins was to eliminate him by all means and at all costs without a trace. He thanked God for saving his life and appreciated Governor Dave Umahi whom he described as a leader who had run the good race for eight eventful years and was exiting happily and bequeathing a huge empire he built for the APC to sustain, which must not be allowed to collapse because of the machinations of few individuals.
