Nweke’s governorship campaign Director General quits, cites irreconcilable differences

The governorship campaigns of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate in Enugu State, Mr. Frank Nweke Jr. suffered setback, yesterday, as its Director General, Dr. Chinweuba Onah, resigned his appointment.

Onah, a lawyer, who was appointed on August 10, to coordinate the campaigns, said his decision to quit is due to irreconcilable differences in the way things were done in the campaign, including ideologies.

Announcing his resignation in a letter he sent to Nweke, which was made available to newsmen in Enugu, he told the governorship candidate that though his appointment letter clearly defined his role as Director General of his campaign, the short time he operated in that capacity was most awful as Nweke didn’t seem to understand the huge political capital and enormous human resource available to him.

Chinweuba said: “Regrettably, therefore, I write to respectfully and thankfully tender my resignation as Campaign Director General with immediate effect, as it is clear that we have irreconcilable differences in the way we see and do things, including ideologies.

“Staying back any further would amount to distraction on both sides; hence, the need for us to forge ahead in our endeavors unhindered.

“I am compelled to take this hard and painful step, first, so that you might be free to deploy ready hands surrounding you more effectively in prosecuting your campaign; second, and most importantly, to preserve our most cherished relationship, which is expected to survive this difficult decision.

“Please, accept this resignation for whatever value you can make of it, and be sure that you have best assurances of my regards and prayers as you pursue your dream of becoming governor of Enugu in 2023.

“Let me also thank you, immensely, for the opportunity extended to me, in the first place, to serve in the exalted but arduous capacity as Campaign Director General of one of the foremost political parties in Nigeria, ahead of the 2023 general elections. Such opportunities don’t come too often, and I can never take it for granted. I am bold to say it was a great school time for me.”
