The All Progressive Grand Alliance may not
participate in the forthcoming governorship
election in Anambra State despite the
emergence of Dr. Willy Obianor as the party’s
candidate, a chieftain of the party has warned.
The party’s Publicity Secretary, Bernerd
Akoma ,in a statement on Tuesday in Abakaliki
said Dr. Obaino could be disqualified as the
party’s flag bearer by the court if the National
Chairman and Secretary of the party, Victor
Umeh and Sanni Shinkaffi endorse his
candidature.
According to him, Umeh was not properly
elected while Shinkaffi’s tenure, according to
the party’s constitution has elapsed.
The statement reads, “Despite the emergence of
Dr. Obiano as the Victor Umeh/Peter Obi led
APGA candidate in the forthcoming
governorship election in Anambra State, the
party may afterall not contest the governorship
race in the state.
“The sharp division in the party
notwithstanding, should Umeh led APGA
faction goes ahead to endorse any candidate
for the election, such candidate stands to be
disqualified if his candidature is challenged in
any court of law.
“APGA constitution states that a person is
entitled to occupy any position in the party for
a maximum of two tenures of four years each.
The current national secretary of APGA, Alhaji
Sani Shinkafi was elected the secretary of the
party January, 10, 2003. By August 2013,
Shinkafi will be spending his 10th year and
seven months in the same position as the
secretary of the party.”

Maybe we should start saying Congrats in Advance to Ngige since he is the only candidate that currently has his two legs in the election comfortably. We are still waiting for the Soludo announcement

End time tinz for the ppl of anambra?

I can see every thing revolving for the good of PROF SOLUDO nd DR NGIGE...I hope he contests.

is this why Umeh did not attend the APGA primary?

AGPA is PDP and PDP can not have 2 candidiates running for the same seat...

Congratulations to Dr. Ngige!

I see PDP and APGA coming to beg Soludo to save the Chicken the left under the Umbrella.
