Nnanna Ukaegbu at a meeting of APGA stakeholders in Aba, said,<br \/>\ndisclosed that over 7 eminent APGA members had expressed interest to vie<br \/>\nfor the governorship primaries for the <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1252848225\"><span class=\"aQJ\">November 18<\/span><\/span> poll, stressing that<br \/>\nObiano would be taking a risk if he allows Oye to sign any document in<br \/>\nfavour of his nomination for the election.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cWe can confidently tell you that APGA will win the<br \/>\n<span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1252848226\"><span class=\"aQJ\">November 18<\/span><\/span> election, but Oye is working to ruin Obiano\u2019s chances in the<br \/>\nelection. Very soon, we will hold primary to elect our candidate. There<br \/>\nare lots of aspirants who have declared interest, but I assure them that<br \/>\nAPGA under me will organize a free and fair primary election. There will<br \/>\nbe no automatic ticket to any member, no matter his position.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe urge Gov. Obiano to show leadership and see himself as the Chairman of<br \/>\nthe APGA Board of Trustees and stop taking side. The governor is alone in<br \/>\nhis support for Oye, all the leaders of the party are solidly with<br \/>\nAgbaso.\u00a0 If Obiano allows himself to continue to be misled by Oye, he is<br \/>\ntoying with his chances of winning a second term in office.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Victor Oye is not even a member of our party. I have severally challenged<br \/>\nhim to produce any document which shows that he was a member of APGA<br \/>\nbefore being imposed on the party as national chairman, but he has not<br \/>\nbeen able to do that. \u00a0From Oye\u2019s actions since he was imposed as national<br \/>\nchairman, it is clear that he doesn\u2019t understand the working of a<br \/>\npolitical party and had no business running APGA. Some of the people who<br \/>\nimposed him on APGA had since abandoned him.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Chairman of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Martin Agbaso, has told the stakeholders of the party that Governor Willie Obiano\u2019s support for the former national chairman, Victor Oye,&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":58203,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
