APGA Confirms Obi As Ojukwu’s Successor, Dismisses Okwu

The National Executive committee of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, has confirmed Anambra State governor, Mr Peter Obi as the leader of the party.

Obi had later last year been named the leader of the party by the National Working Committee of APGA waiting final confirmation by the party’s NEC.

All NEC members of the party in a meeting held Saturday evening in Awka voted unanimously for Obi to be the leader of the party.

Chief Victor Umeh, who presided over the meeting, stated that Obi has been a good party man, and has done the party proud both in the state and in the country, and has successfully written his name in gold in the politics of the country.

Umeh said that the resilience which saw Obi reclaiming his governorship position and other leadership attributes made him share semblance with the qualities of late leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu.

The NEC which later raised an 8-point communiqué stated that part of its resolution was the approval of 30 names as members of the BoT and the review of its constitution.

NEC also approved the filling of vacant seats in NWC and also went ahead to pass a vote of confidence on the leadership of the party as led by Chief Umeh.

The NEC also approved that the BOT chairman and secretary be made members of the NEC.

Meanwhile, the NEC disowned Chief Maxi Okwu, who within the week proclaimed chairman of the party by an Abuja High Court, saying that he was among those looking for means to eat where they did not sow
