“We, the pioneer and mainstream members of our great party in Enugu State have been shouting it times without number that Ugochukwu Agballa, came to APC with a mission of destroying the party, after which he will return to his PDP.

“Once again, I want to use this medium to call on the Senator Abdulahi Adamu led national leadership of APC to beam it’s searchlight on Enugu APC, before it is too late, because prevention they say, is better than cure.
