APC suffers setback in Imo as party chieftains resign

By CHIDI NKWOPARA

OWERRI — The fledgling fortunes of the unregistered All Progressives Congress, APC, suffered a setback weekend in Imo State, following the resignation of the state chairman of All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP, Chief Vitalis Orikeze Ajmbe, and a host of his colleagues.

Disclosing his decision to newsmen, Chief Ajumbe explained that the yet-to-be-registered political party was dead on arrival in Imo.

He recalled that he loved ANPP with passion when he joined the party and even promised not to leave it, stressing that this was despite its sagging fortunes over the years.

Ajumbe said: “I loved ANPP with passion when I joined it. I promised not to leave it despite its fortunes, for any other political party because we enjoyed freedom of expression and internal democracy”.

He was, however, irked that some of the unpatriotic party men, who immensely benefitted from the party, bluntly refused or neglected to fund ANPP.

Ajumbe recalled with grief that as chairman of ANPP in the state, he personally bankrolled expenses of the nine cases prosecuted in the court by the party, pointing out that ANPP still owed him N22 million incurred in its interest.

On his feelings about the emerging APC, Chief Ajumbe said: “APC is a good party but the problem lies with its component parts. This is why I do no see any ray of light at the end of the tunnel in both the ANPP and APC. This is why I am constrained to leave both parties.”

Chief Ajmbe said as far as he was concerned, there was no APC in Imo State, adding that there couldn’t be APC in the state without ACN and ANPP.

Chief Ajumbe said he enjoyed cordial relationship with members of his former party during the nine years he was in charge.

On which party he would join after bowing out of APC and ANPP, Ajumbe said he would definitely not join the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

This is just the beginning

If he resigns from ANPP and would not join APC or PDP, how does he intent to be relevant in Imo state politics, He should just resign from politics altogether.

ok oh, he can form his own political party.

APC or boko related parties in Igboland shall never stand. People think it's easy to forget the number of igbo slain in the north and the northern leaders and elders didn't bath an eyelid, you guys think we'll forget it even in the next hundred years? Okorocha draw another map for you are standing on a tin rope.

Congrat.

Hmmm.... More drama still to unfold. Watching with interest.

Igbos will certainly not fall for APC. NOT ANYTIME SOON.

let him go..good ridiance †̥o bad rubbish..what impact has he added †̥o ANPP ever since he joined the party?

Chief Ajumbe was right on spot on this. His action is a desperate move to avoid the evil bandwagon, APC. Better late than never. Okorocha thinks Igbos of today are the type he can trick into his bag of deceptions. What wait him in APC is Waterloo. I don't know of other Igbos, We the IMOLITES will never vote ALHAJIS POLITICAL CABAL, " APC ".

Who cares Mr. Stammerer

Ok.. Who is next?

Wht do u expect frm an igbo man am not with u n am not against u then u r a cynical hypocrite.d SE seems to b d only zone sticking with Gej.motion without political ideology.little wonder d peak of your political antecedents is d senate president cos to u money leads d way.

justification for this stiff disposition.

Hamazz1: justification for this stiff disposition.

APC is a replica of Egypt Muslim brother hood, a cancer all Egyptians want to get rid of. The best time to kill a Python is at its infancy stage.

How does one resign from an unregistered (non existing yet) party?

Yea! A wise man indeed!
APC is dead on arrival in the South South/South East.

Rochas has dug his political grave, we shall help him to enter it.

My advice to the man is: don't join any party yet.

You guys need to be careful as you are busy doing Jonathan more harm than his enemies with all these SS/SE thing. Will just SS/SE MAKE HIM PRESIDENT? It better you guys keep your feeling to your chest, instead of all this name calling of others you might need when the time comes.

PDP is the real Boko party. Get it?

My brother I have 2 questions for you:
1. In Nigeria today, who do you think needs who?
2. Do you think Jonathan won because of the Northern votes?
