APGA crisis: Obiano may join APC

The suspension the National Chairman of the All Progressives
Grand Alliance, Mr. Victor Oye, on Thursday by the National Working
Committee of the party, has cracked the party.

There were indications that the Anambra State Governor, Chief
Willie Obiano, might review his membership of APGA.

A member of the NWC of the party who pleaded not to be named
told our correspondent that plea by Obiano to stop Oye’suspension
fell on deaf ears.

“The governor was calling us to stop the suspension, but nobody
listened to him. Now what we are hearing is that the governor may
join the APC to realize his re-election next year. If that happens,
you know what that means to our party. Obiano is the only governor
we have in APGA”.

APGA National Working Committee had suspended Oye, for what it
called gross misconduct.

Rising from its monthly meeting in Abuja, the NWC said the
suspension of the national chairman was in line with the provisions
of the party’s constitution, following alleged constitutional
breaches and inordinate practices of the chairman and other
national officers.

The Deputy National Secretary of the party, Jerry Obasi, said
the suspension was necessary in order to save the party.

When contacted on the telephone, a Senior Special Assistant to
Governor Obiano on Media, Mr. Emeka Ozumba, said he would not make
any comment.

“It’s an APGA thing. We don’t engage on speculation. The
governor is busy trying to realise his stimulus package on
recession for the people of the state.

“He signed several memoranda of understanding today. The issue
you raised is not an issue the governor would like to react to.

“Try and get APGA reaction on the matter, and leave the governor
out of it. It’s APGA thing,” Ozumba stated.

When contacted on the telephone, the APGA chairman in the
state, Sir Nobert Obi, said he would not want to comment on the
issue now.
