The former national chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Edozie Njoku on Friday emerged as the new national chairman of the National Rescue Movement (NRM).

Njoku was chosen as NRM’s national chairman at an emergency national convention of the party held in Abuja and which was duly monitored by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

His emergency followed the decision of the party’s former national chairman, Ambassador Isaac Udeh, to step down.

Ambassador Udeh is now the party’s national organising secretary.

Members of the party were in agreement that Njoku be allowed to lead the NRM due to his wealth of experience and leadership capabilities.

Upon being declared as the national chairman, Njoku thanked Ambassador Udeh for his huge sacrifice and promised to revamp and reposition the party for future elections, beginning with the forthcoming governorship election in Anambra State. (The Nation)
