From Fred Itua, Abuja
The Edozie Njoku-led faction of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has assured members of the party in Abia State that there is no cause for alarm.
Muhyideen Imam, national secretary of APGA, in a statement made available to reporters, said there is a misconception arising from the ruling of the Court of Appeal on the APGA governorship candidate last Wednesday.
The statement reads: “We wish to draw the attention of the general public to the misconception arising from the Ruling of the Appeal Court on the APGA Governorship candidate on Wednesday, February 8, 2023.
“We understand that the Appeal Court Judgment has stirred confusion and controversy within the APGA family in Abia and beyond.
“We most solemnly state that the Appeal Court Ruling ONLY nullified the unauthorised, unconstitutional and illegal primary conducted by Chief Victor Oye, the former National Chairman of APGA on May 29, 2022.
“Sequel to the amended Supreme Court Judgment of May 9, 2022, and the further confirmation of the Court through a letter dated January 19, 2023, which declared Chief Edozie Njoku as the authentic National Chairman of APGA; we wish to inform our members at Abia State and the entire Ndi Abia that the primaries conducted by Chief Edozie Njoku led APGA and its National Working Committee (NWC) are not encumbered.
“Therefore, all the candidates that emerged from that primaries will be fielded for the 2023 General Elections.
“Please, we urge all our members to remain steadfast, patient and committed to the party ideals always.”
