Dr. Ben Nwoye, the controversial chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Enugu State would want to be seen as a no-nonsense party administrator who loathes to hold the short end of any stick. He believes that as the headmaster of the school, he is empowered to whip any unruly student into line. He does not brook any opposition, neither does he fancy unsolicited advice, and even more so, he does not care who you may be! He believes in the supremacy of the party, and just like Louis XVI of medieval France who believed that he was indeed the state, Nwoye also believes that he is the party! On a chance encounter I had with him sometime in early 2018, he told me that what informs his draconian style is because “our people need to be handled with iron hand”! Whether this iron fist mechanism has worked would still remain in the realm of personal conjecture because many a member largely attribute the wobbly fortune of the party in the state to the apparent failure of his style....
