The AA national chairman, Tunde Anifowose-Kelani, said that Nwosu is neither a member of the party nor its governorship candidate.
According to the Nigerian Tribune, Tunde Anifowose-Kelani made this known in a statement signed and made available to journalists in Abuja on Thursday.
According to him, “Uche Nwosu is not yet a member of our party and cannot come through the back door to be a gubernatorial candidate of the party in Imo state.”
The AA national chairman further said that the party has rules and regulations guiding its operation, adding that in order to become a registered member, there are due process such person must follow.
He therefore advised that if Uche Nwosu really wants to be a registered member of Action Alliance (AA) party, he should do the needful.
“People of such pedigree should know better than junk politicking which would not help towards 2019.”
It will be recalled that Uche Nwosu and some other aggrieved members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo state is seeking an alternative party to contest elections in 2019, following the crisis that ensued during the APC primaries.
Meanwhile, eighteen members of the Imo state House of assembly recently announced their defection from their political parties. It was reported that the speaker, Acho Ihim, and 17 other lawmakers dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and defected to the Action Alliance (AA).
