Chief Uche Nnaji, popularly known as Nwakaibie, has been widely credited with reviving and repositioning the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State, restoring unity, discipline, and renewed purpose within the party.
According to party stakeholders, Chief Nnaji’s leadership brought fresh energy to the APC at a time when the party was struggling with internal divisions and weak structures. His intervention is said to have transformed the party into a more vibrant and respected political platform, attracting both old members and new entrants across the state.
Before his appointment as Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Chief Nnaji reportedly played a critical role in sustaining the party by personally financing and supporting its activities. This commitment, party sources note, helped stabilize the APC during periods when it lacked adequate support from elected officeholders.
The APC in Enugu State is now described as a more inclusive political home, accommodating people across social and economic divides, with a unified structure attributed to Nnaji’s organizational efforts. Observers say this renewed cohesion has also sparked interest among opposition figures, who now view the APC as an emerging force in the state’s political landscape.
As discussions continue within the party over the harmonization of the state executive leadership, supporters of Chief Nnaji maintain that his contributions to the survival and growth of the APC in Enugu remain foundational.
Chief Uche Nnaji’s supporters insist that his role in rebuilding the party has positioned the APC for greater relevance in Enugu State politics, particularly as preparations toward future electoral contests gather momentum.
