PRESS STATEMENT
It has come to the knowledge of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, that one Prince Nnanna Ukaegbu and his sponsors have recruited hoodlums and miscreants to invade APGA state secretariat in Umuahia tomorrow, August 30,2022, with an intent to take over the party office.
We want to let the undemocratic forces behind this evil plot know that security agencies have been put on red alert about their wicked agenda to cause the breach of the peace. We also want to send strong warning to all those behind this move that we will not fold our hands to watch hoodlums throw our peaceful party into chaos.
APGA will never allow a man whose tenure expired since 2015, and who has since then never participated in any meetings or activities of the party to take over our office.
Price Nnanna Ukaegbu has been working in cahoots with those who feel threatened by the swelling support and growing popularity of APGA and our candidates ahead of the 2023 elections, to throw the party into disarray but he will be stoutly resisted.
We are not unaware of the conspiracy and secret meetings by undemocratic forces in the state who are very uncomfortable with the massive support that APGA enjoys across the state.
Abians should also know of the desperation by the political principalities holding the state down to distract APGA by using some moles and unpatriotic elements. The reason for their sustained attacks on APGA is simply because they know that it is the beacon of hope for Abian’s emancipation come 2023. We, therefore, want to place member and members of the public on notice about this satanic agenda.
The same undemocratic forces have fabricated criminal allegations against our deputy governorship candidate, Hon. Obinna Ichita with an intent to incriminate him. They are desperately looking for grounds to distabilise APGA which is their only threat to perpetuate their oppression of the state but as always they will fail again.
For the purpose of clarity, Rev. Augustine Ehiemere remains the authentic Chairman of APGA in Abia State, while Professor Greg Ibe is our governorship candidate for the 2023 election.
We also caution all those being recruited for this unholy move to retrace their steps as they will regret their actions. To be forewarned is to be fore armed.
Signed:
Ambassador Sunday Onukwubiri
APGA State Secretary, Abia.
Barrister Chukwuemeka Nwokoro, State Legal Adviser.
