This comes after members of the State Executive Committee (SEC) passed an overwhelming vote of no confidence in him.
Eba’s impeachment, endorsed by 30 out of 32 SEC members, followed months of complaints alleging financial mismanagement, high-handed leadership, and the shutdown of the party secretariat for an extended period.
Following his removal, the SEC immediately mandated the Deputy Chairman, Ntufam Ekum Ekok Ojogu, to assume office as Acting Chairman pending ratification by the APC National Secretariat.
The decision is in line with Section 17(6) of the party’s constitution, which empowers the SEC to appoint an acting chairman when the substantive chairman is removed.
After taking his oath of office, Ojogu pledged to reopen the party structure, reconcile aggrieved members, and restore transparency in administration.
He thanked stakeholders for upholding due process and reaffirmed the chapter’s loyalty to Governor Bassey Edet Otu.
“All grievances must be set aside so we can rebuild. All entitlements owed will be addressed. My doors and phone lines are open 24/7. It is time to sheath our swords,” he said.
Ojogu commended ward leaders, polling unit coordinators, and volunteers for sustaining party activities at the grassroots throughout the crisis, promising to work closely with Governor Otu to strengthen the “People First” agenda.
Following the inauguration, SEC members and chapter chairmen proceeded into a closed-door meeting to outline restructuring plans and prepare a formal report to the APC National Secretariat.
