The All Progressives Congress (APC), State Congress Appeal Panel for Ebonyi State, set up by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party, has commenced sitting, in Abakaliki, the state capital.

The panel, headed by former Abia Deputy Governor, Chief Chris Akomas, promised to be fair in the discharge of its assignment.

At an interactive meeting with stakeholders, Akoma said that the panel was in Ebonyi to listen to post congress complaints and petitions from aggrieved members, adding that the panel had limited time to conclude its assignment.

He said that the ability to timely resolve issues and differences arising from the recently concluded state congress in Ebonyi would make APC stronger and better positioned for the 2019 general elections.

Akomas urged members and leaders of the party to cooperate and support the panel to effectively carry out its function of reconciling aggrieved members.
