He regretted the current situation of the party in the State, describing it as mere misunderstanding and issue of interest which he said should not be seen as factions in the party.
He said, “We’re here to discuss how everybody would be carried along at the ward, local government and State levels and to be part of the winning team come 2023 presidential election.
“We have only one Chairman, Chief Basil Ejidike. Definitely, you have to realign everybody so that together we will be stronger. We don’t have factions, what we have is interest. Your interest may be different from my own interest.
“All we are working to achieve is to outsmart our opponents outside the party, APC. That is our most important focus, to equip ourselves with all the necessary arsenals to humble our opponents come 2023.
On how the party felt about losing the November 6 governorship election in Anambra, the Chairman said: “You have to go into our position to know how we feel.
