The crisis was said to have taken a new dimension in 2021 after the APC's national congress which produced Barr. Ugochukwu Agballa as the state chairman.

Agballa's alleged poor performance necessitated a visit by a delegation of the party’s stakeholders to the national secretariat in which a demand was made for the constitution of a caretaker committee.

However, the embattled chairman dismissed the stakeholders, including the foreign affairs minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, and Senator Ken Nnamani, a former Senate president.

The Enugu APC chairman has been operating from the southeast zonal office of the party since his election.
