The All Progressives Congress in Enugu State has been riven by infighting following contentious primaries and this latest episode in a region of the State that has always been an haven for the opposition parties will be a major setback for the plans of the party towards the 2023 Elections.
The regions is also home to Senator Ayogu Eze the former Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress.
