The All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended the Enugu State chapter of the party for the successful conduct of congresses in the state’s 260 political wards, describing the exercise as peaceful, free, fair, and credible.
The commendation was given by the Chairman of the Enugu State APC Ward and Local Government Congresses Committee, Solomon Funkekeme, in the state capital yesterday.
The party, which commended party chieftains and faithful for their peaceful and honourable conduct during the exercise, noted with satisfaction that it had become one big family a few months after the emergence of Governor Peter Mbah as the party leader in the state in October 2025.
“We have come to Enugu State to supervise and monitor the ward and local government congresses under the instructions of our National Chairman and the National Working Committee (NWC).
“As a committee, upon arrival, we engaged stakeholders and the State Caretaker Committee, and we also monitored the congresses in various wards across the state.
“We are satisfied with the conduct and the outcome of the ward congresses across the 260 wards, both in terms of behaviour and adherence to the Constitution and Guidelines of the party.
“We also want to note that Enugu APC is united. There are no issues at all. What we can say is that we have come to a united house, ready to move forward under the able leadership of our governor, Dr. Peter Mbah.
“The Congress Coordinating Committee can tell you that the party is in good hands, and we congratulate them on the way they have conducted themselves since we arrived in Enugu,” he stated.

He also commended the Enugu APC for inclusivity and gender mainstreaming.
“All the positions reserved for women to ensure gender mainstreaming were duly respected. The same applies to persons living with disabilities. So, the party is very inclusive,” Hon. Funkekeme added.
He expressed optimism that the local government congresses scheduled for Saturday across the 17 local government areas of the state would also be peaceful and credible.
“On Saturday, this party will conduct local government congresses. The committee expects the same peace and credibility that characterised the ward congresses to also prevail in the local government congresses,” the Committee Chairman asserted.
The Secretary of the Enugu APC Caretaker Committee, Hon. Eugene Odoh, thanked the national panel for its commitment to the peaceful and transparent conduct of the congresses, following a tour of many wards across the state’s three senatorial zones.
