A former National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Chief Edozie Njoku, has been sworn in as the new National Chairman of the National Rescue Mission, NRM.

DAILY POST reported earlier that chief Njoku had dumped APGA and emerged the National Chairman of the NRM following an emergency national convention held by the party Abuja on Friday.

The former APGA chieftain became the new National Chairman of the NRM following the resignation of Amb. Isaac Chigozie Udeh from the position during the convention.

DAILY POST reported that Mr Udeh stepped down to take the position of the National Organising Secretary of the party.

Speaking during the swearing-in and handing over ceremony in Abuja on Tuesday, the former National Chairman of the party, who is now the National Organising Secretary, Isaac Chigozie Udeh, opened up on why he decided to step down for Njoku.

He said, “The interest of the party supersedes any individualistic interests, and that is why I paid that price.

“That is why I made that sacrifice to ensure that this party is repositioned to the height that is required of it to win elections in this country.”

DAILY POST reported earlier how Njoku conceded defeat, saying he would comply with the judgment recognising Sylvester Ezeokenwa as the National Chairman of APGA.

This was after the Victor Oye-led faction of the party, backed by the Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo, was recognised by the Supreme Court.

“Most people in Nigeria know what we went through in APGA and then, we thank God.”

On Chigozie stepping aside for him: I’m really humbled. I have seen something here today which I never believed can happen in Nigeria.

“And every day we learn. I never believed it existed in the dictionary of my dear country, which is selflessness, and it will be so degrading, it will be so unfortunate if I do not mention it.”
