Anambra 2014: Real Reasons APGA Disqualified Soludo…The PDP, Fidelity Bank Connection

Few days ago, the screening committee of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for the 2014 governorship election screened out former Central Bank Governor, Chukwuma Soludo and five other on the ground that they do not possess voters card, have issues with their tax remittance and also do not have evidence of sufficient fund to prosecute campaigns for the election.The disqualified six proceeded to the appeal committee of the party which re-affirmed the decision of the screening committee.

While the reasons of the disqualification by the screening committee may have yet to be fully understood by the spectators in the polity, it has been gathered through a consortium of highly competent sources that the disqualification of the six [6] would-be aspirants has more to do with the sedation of APGA as a potent political party – than mere disqualification of a few candidates.

The details point directly to the noxious mix of intrigues emanating firstly, from the desire of the national ruling party to ‘recapture’ Anambra State – and secondly, from the desire of the veiled godfather of Anambra State Governor, Fidelity Bank, to maintain their financial grip on the State.

As a caveat, the background to the surprising disqualification reaches far to the period when Governor Peter Obi and APGA National Chairman Chief Victor Umeh were at loggerheads over the control of APGA – and over what the fate of APGA would be post Peter Obi administration. It was popularly believed Governor Peter Obi wanted to anoint a political godson to take on the controls of Anambra – while Chief Victor Umeh wanted for a more sellable individual to be presented as the APGA candidate. The divergent desires by the two men caused a fracture within the party.

Governor Peter Obi and his men immediately halted all monies [N20million monthly] normally paid by the Anambra State government to Chief Victor Umeh for the upkeep of the party. Chief Victor Umeh reacted to seek refuge with a shady oil mogul by name Chief Ifeanyi Uba – the Chief Executive Officer of Capital Oil. Chief Ifeanyi Uba was reported to have aspirations of become the governor of Anambra State under the APGA banner. He was said to have taken over catering of the party’s [APGA] day-to-day expenditure. Some quarters indicated he may have remitted N250million to Chief Victor Umeh.

The fracture within the APGA led to the creation of two factions of the party – one led by Governor Peter Obi and his associates – the other led by Chief Victor Umeh and his executive members. The fractionalization then turned into a war of gutter-words between the two factions.The quarrel turned into litigation – and the Peter Obi faction, in their bid to diminish Chief Victor Umeh’s credibility, hurriedly held a midnight convention to remove him as the National Chairman of APGA. One Maxi Okwu was ‘elected’ as the national chairman of the Peter Obi led APGA.

It then became a litigant’s affair. Both Peter Obi and Victor Umeh joined issues at the federal and state high courts. In summation, it was Chief Victor Umeh who scored the final legal knockout of thePeter Obi led group – by his victory at the Federal Court of Appeal in Enugu, Enugu State. Chief Victor Umeh’s group was thenlegally recognized as the group to field candidates for the upcoming gubernatorial and local government council elections in Anambra.

But prior to the legal knockout meted to the Governor of Anambra State, Mr. PeterObi, a group of top stakeholders in Igboland who were concerned over the uncomplimentary fate of the APGA following the death of Chief Odimegwu Ojukwu – and the bickering between Umeh and Peter Obi – decided to take it upon themselves to convene ‘closed door’ meetings over how to resuscitate APGA. The personalities consisted of top ranking monarchs from across the five south east states [including Asaba] and other top personalities – to mention a few are – former Senate President Ken Nnamani, former Central Bank Governor [CBN], Professor Charles Soludo, former Police Service Commission [PSC] Boss Chief Simon Okeke, MASSOB Leader Ralph Uwazurike, Chief Emeka Offor amongst others.

The meetings which were held at the home of Ken Nnamani sought avenues to create a viable and lasting South Eastern party to stand to reap the dividends of democracy to the south easterner in the manner the north and the south west have successfully done. They wanted to join forces and to close ranks to hoist APGA as the logical party for the south easterner. During one of the meetings, Chief Victor Umeh was reported to have attended to table his desires for the party.He was said to have been received well and to have impressed the attendees withthe issues he tabled. With his presentation, he [Victor Umeh] became part of the group.

It was through the groups’ assistance thatChief Victor Umeh secured the favorable Federal Court of Appeals judgment against the Peter Obi led APGA.

Following the court victory, Chief Victor Umeh immediately sought refuge under the wings of Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo – ‘pleading’ with him to join the party – and to vie for the gubernatorial ticket. It took Chief Victor Umeh’s sustained pressure in cohorts with other prominent Igbo personalities –who impressed on Soludo that his candidacy under the APGA will jumpstart the rebirth of the new APGA. Reluctantly, the Professor agreed. But before he agreed he gave one condition.He insisted that Governor Peter Obi be brought into fold – that peace must be reached between Chief Victor Umeh and GovernorPeter Obi.

With this, the group agreed and the deal was sealed.

The peace agreement, in summary, went smoothly without much rancor. Chief Victor Umeh tabled his demands and grievances to the group in the presence ofPeter Obi – and Peter Obi did the same. Atthe end, Chief Victor Umeh demanded that the allowances which Peter Obi stopped paying should be paid in addition to other expenses he incurred as the party chairman. He pegged the amount at N1billion. But Governor Peter Obi was willing to pay N600million. After some negotiations, Governor Peter Obi and Victor Umeh agreed on N600million. Governor Peter Obi paid N300million to Victor Umeh in the presence of the group while promising to pay the remainder before the completion of the election exercise.

Governor Peter Obi’s re-introduction into the scheme – along with the peace agreement changed the program almost immediately.

The inclusion of Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo as a potential aspirantdid not augur well with Governor Peter Obi – who reportedly was still bent on achieving his original plans – which had caused problems with Chief Victor Umeh.

Gov. Peter Obi’s original plan was to handover power to someone that would retain Fidelity Bank as the main banker for the State – and to simultaneously deliver Anambra State to the win column for President Goodluck Ebelemi Jonathan in the 2015 presidential elections. This would mean delivering the Anambra to the PDP candidate or to a Fidelity Bank friendly candidate such as Willie Obiano -a top boss at Fidelity Bank.

It was with this foreground that GovernorPeter Obi left the closed door agreement [reached with the select Igbo leaders] to meet with the President to brief him on the resolutions. He impressed on the President that Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo had been asked to join the party to contest the primaries under APGA for the gubernatorial ticket.

Following Peter Obi’s briefing of President Jonathan, the President was reported to have told Peter Obi that Soludo should not be given the ticket under APGA. The President then told Peter Obi to relay the message to Victor Umeh. Peter Obi then asked the President whether he [Peter Obi] should quote him to Victor Umeh, the President answered yes. Peter Obi then returned to Victor Umeh with the message from Mr. President.

With President Jonathan’s interjection, the previously reached agreement became nullified.

On Sunday August 11, 2013, few days remaining to the screening exercise, Chief Victor Umeh placed a call to Professor Soludo asking him to withdraw from the contest. Minutes after Chief Victor Umeh’scall, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu called Professor Soludo asking him to step out ofthe contest – that the President does not want him to contest for the elections. But Professor Soludo was unyielding. Soludo told both Bianca Ojukwu and Victor Umeh that he would not withdraw – that he rather be defeated at the primaries.

Certain that if allowed to participate at the primaries that Soludo might win, the APGA leadership opted for disqualification at the screening stage.

During the screening exercise, the actionsof the 3-man panel depicted what their real intentions were. At first, they called on Soludo to inform him that he will be disqualified based on an ‘incorrect’ answer he gave on one of the questions on the application form. The question was whether he had been arrested before. Soludo had answered no. The screening committee believed that he lied – that he had been arrested by the agents of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission [EFCC]. To which, Soludo responded by providing the letter of invitation dated December 2012 which the EFCC had written to him requesting ofhim to visit the EFCC office to clarify someissues – the letter given him 21-days to show up. With the presentation of the letter, the committee switched and responded that since he is being investigated by the EFCC, he cannot contest for the gubernatorial elections under the APGA.

Interestingly, when one of the members of the 3-man panel raised an objection onthe grounds being illegal and unconstitutional – he was shunned by theother two members – stating that “this is not law, this is politics”.

With this, Soludo’s fate in APGA was sealed. Governor Peter Obi got his wish and President Jonathan got his wish.

It is interesting to note the uncanny connection which Fidelity Bank has in theunfolding imbroglio within the APGA andwithin the pending tussle for who to become the next governor of Anambra State.

Following the consolidation exercise, available records show that Fidelity Bank was not able to post a profitable year until Governor Peter Obi’saccession to the seat of Governor in Anambra State. Nearly one year after Governor Peter Obi became governor, Fidelity Bank posted an increase of 219 per cent profit after tax for the third quarter ended March 31, 2007. Fidelity Bank’s growth remained astronomical in the following years.

In 2013, Fidelity Bankannounced a profit before tax of N11.2 billion for the half year ended 30th June, 2013, representing 13.3 percent growth over N9.88 billion recorded in the corresponding period of 2012. In 2012, Fidelity Bank announced a growth of 608 percent in its profit after tax for the financial year ended December 31, 2012.

Prior to becoming the Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi held the controlling shares at Fidelity Bank and was the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank. He still retains ownership of the bank..

What may or may not be coincidence is the emergence of Willie Obiano [from Anambra North] who was – Until recently, Chief Obiano was the number two man at Fidelity Bank Plc, as the Executive Director in charge of Business Banking. Chief Obiano also holds the revered title of Otunba Atayase of Ilemeso-Ekiti in Ekiti State. He hails from Aguleri.
Willie Obiano joined APGA the same day Soludo joined. He was a reluctant to join the race. But he was egged on by Fidelity Bank to join the race.

Prior to Obiano’s final decision to join the race, Governor Peter Obi had presented alternatives to the Bank – in the persons of Oseloka Obaze and Chinedu Idigo. Both are from Anambra north.

But the Bank was said to be unsure of guaranteed loyalty from the two would-be candidates. In the meantime, both Governor Peter Obi and Fidelity Bank exerted pressure on Willie Obiano to join the race. But Obiano was concerned that he may not have the financial muscle or popularity to win a general election in Anambra State. He was also unsure on whether Peter Obi could deliver him.

But Soludo’s entrance changed the desperation decibel for Peter Obi, Fidelity Bank and Obiano.

Hmmmm what can one say after reading this eye-opening treastise GEJ,Peter Obi,Desperation,Interest,Backstabbing and of course Money palava

Soludo was rubbished and made to kiss the dust by the power mongrels of Anambra...what a pity!

With Governor Obi's vested interest intersecting nicely with that of the Presidency, the revamped APGA was always going to come up short. The funny thing about the way all this is playing out is that the leading actors (Godfathers behind the scene - if you will) have managed to maintain a steely and yet dignified silence.

The stakes are high and the vultures are circling.

I can't imagine the president a PDP member tele-guiding Peter Obi an APGA man who should or should nt be given the ticket!!! Yet it is this same man that wants to kill Amaechi for anti-party activities!!!

Peter Obi's body language and demeanour all this while shows that he has a lot to hide! Why on earth will he sponsor 3 governorship candidates just to protect the stench he is trying to hide. He alone asked Willie Obiano,Charles Idigo and Oseloka Obaze to contest with a view that at least one will succeed

Peter Obi is a deceiver-In-chief

I shudder to think how remotely impossible Igbo presidency agenda could ever be actualised when those who are even supposed to champion it dispassionately are the ones negotiating it away

The mannerisms of the APGA high command is akin to a man holding down his daughter for outsiders to come and rape

Where is the source?

PDP is a killer party. They don't care about good administration in PDP. They are only interested in politicians who act on PDP scripts. We have been saying this forever and we have finally been vindicated by what happened to Soludo in Anambra. PDP is all about sharing money. I hope you all come to your senses before South-west leave you behind forever.

We have been vindicated. Rochas saw this long time ago and he left APGA.

If the following spyghana article is to be believed, one could also infer that Obaze was asked to throw his hat into the ring, in order to provide the perfect alibi against any allegations of underhand dealings with respect to Soludo's fall at the first hurdle. I bet Nollywood scriptwriters are taking notes on this one.

The Anambra state governor Mr Peter Obi may have concluded plans to give back Mr Oseloka Obaze his job as the Secretary to the state Government(SSG), following his early exit from the 2014 governorship race when he failed the party’s screening test at the weekend.

Obaze who was one of the frontliners in the Anambra Governorship race on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, (APGA), earlier resigned his appointment rather abruptly without proper procedures on Wednesday only to be disqualified less than 48 hours later has however accepted his disqualification in good fate

At least Rochas has been vindicated. Rochas won the Imo governorship using a weak APGA because he was popular as an individual. This Anambra governorship is between Ngige and Soludo but APGA is about making Rochas prediction come to pass. Anambra the progressives are waiting for you as the next member. Join the moving train and say no to tribalism.

There could be some elements of truism in your comment! It seems to me all that Peter Obi has done all this while is to demonise and liquidate all known and perceived enemy. I am beginning not to ever use his catholitic mien to judge the man....he is snakey and ruthless

Well i think Soludo should know his enemies now, PDP,APGA are his enemies and trying to ruin his political career. Well i never support his Governorship ambition though, I am a Pro Ngige/APC come rain come shine. Soludo is a great candidate and would make impact.

Yes o! Join the train of development called APC. No area in Nigeria deserves to be in commatose as most areas are. APC Governors are doing wonders. Anambra should follow suit sharp sharp !

Say no to tribalism!

I guess it was Okorocha who said PDP(may I include APGA now) detest and has great dislike for brilliant,visionary,independent and assertive individuals like Ngige and Soludo. Such party rather than see such individuals as gifts to the party and use every means to encourage them but that is never the case

Wonderment! So it is Goodluck Jonathan that decides who becomes a Governors in APGA? why not PDP merge with APGA to become PDPGA, because as it is presently people would have difficulty knowing which of the 2 parties to vote for in various levels of elective positions in Anambra.

Now that Soludos face has been rubbed in the mud

Anambra should prepare to welcome the world cup Governor Ifeanyi Ubah

Any state in Nigeria who still actively vote for PDP and their associates are collective fools, and deserve what they get. They also should vote and stay in their states to enjoy the dividends of their votes. Please dont blame states like Lagos, who have limited resources to provide for citizens who decided to vote for change from PDP. You cant eat your cake and have it. Some governors cannot be stealing for others to be sweating and covering up their incompetence and criminality. Everyone must work and use the allocations for the right things. Some states dont even change in 8years. All the allocation stolen. HABA! PDP seems to have absolutely no mission than to steal. How can a rational and stable human being ever survive like that, not to talk of a country or state. How can one human being be allowed to get away with that much. A party that rejects and tries to destroy potential performers. PDP must die as a political party for Nigeria to move forward. It is filled with illiterates, thugs, criminals and thieves only concerned with looting and nothing else. Even if the country breaks up, there is absolutely nothing left in the purse to share. We will all start with nothing. It has all been stolen. Not even good schools or hospitals. Chai, what a pity. Considering the amount of professionals we have in this country.

Anambrians should wisen up. Obi needs a stooge who would cover his black arseee after years of plundering your commonwealth. Ngige or any other opposition is the way to go definitely not APGA OR PDP.

God bless you for what you wrote. I have written simillar thing in the past. Stay in your state to enjoy the dividend of democracy you voted for instead of coming to APC run states.

why did tinubu need a 'stooge' in fashola to cover his tracks?

It's clear that Soludo is being hounded and bullied by the President.....but what i can't understand is why the 'informed' Anambra electorate are saying/doing nothing about it!

Reminds me of the passive Abian electorate that allowed godfathers walk all over them!

I am broken hearted and devastated at Soludo's fate

But what Rochas Okorocha and Ngige has to say means absolutely nothing because I am still very much convinced that these two men will not lead us anywhere new!

Rochas Okorocha is a used car sales man and will always be! Ngige is Ngige, a desperado and survivor who just does whatever keeps Ngige afloat!

The only way APC is different from PDP is the fact that it is not PDP. I have not seen any reason to believe that APC is a genuine alternative to PDP and this claim that APC is better is not supported by the facts on ground!

I am disappointed with how politics works generally in Nigeria. A lot of what we do is very self defeating, ridiculous and pointless. This behavior cuts across the political divide and across regional lines.

did the anambra electorate tell u they are happy?so what do want them to do...burn down apga secrateriate?write petition to who?let us keep our emotions in check.this is different from the actual elections where the electorate would have a say.abia's case is that they were non chalant on the election proper not primaries where they have no say.

If you don't believe in APC, why have you and your peole remained in Lagos? Why not move to the area where PDP or APGA hold sway? Bigotry and hatred is killing some of you to the bone. Rochas was once a "great governor" to many of you when he was with APGA. He became a bad man and "used car seller" the moment he joined APC. SMH!

For your information I don't live in Lagos. Secondly Lagos is the commercial capital of Nigeria and people have always trooped to Lagos even during the Military administration. Is there a new immigration wave to Lagos since the advent of democracy and AD or AC or ACN or APC that we have not seen before? When Tinubu was the Governor of Lagos was he the best Governor in Nigeria and did this mean there was any less diverse collection of Nigerians in Lagos at the time?

APC only got registered last month or so. We don't even know that the APC Government of Lagos shares all of the same policies or level of development with other APC Governments in the SouthWest let alone the ones in the North like Nasarawa.

Go check the records, right from when Rochas was elected I questioned his political sophistication as I still do to this day.

And quite frankly this business of accusing anyone who does not agree with you of tribal hatred is childish and boring! Have you not got anything more plausible to say. Some food for thought, if you suggest that those who disagree with APC do so because of tribe you are inadvertently also suggesting that those who agree with APC do so because of tribe. May be you need to do some soul searching here!

Despite d avalanche of information opened to u about the unholy dillance btw APGA/PDP yet you are still holding out against Ngige/APC who you called desperate What is desperate about someone who everyone has adjudged to have performed in his first time around and knowing fully well that he still has a lot to give if elected. The only sin I believe Ngige has committed around people like u is that he has refused to be a staunch tribalist and av elected to be a bridge builder between the east and d west,a relationship we the youths should have encouraged rather than allowing tribalists amongst us to divide us for their pecuniary interest. One of the sins of Soludo is also that he is somehow close to Atiku(a Northerner-who u pipo will equate as Bokoharamist). You pipo are just fixated on d erroneous belief never to have anything to do with a party that has Tinubu,Buhari and lately Fashola even if such party parades the best of peoples. Moreso if APC wins in Anambra, will the recipient of the mandate be a yoruba man Oshiomhole dat is on a roller-coaster in Edo,have u heard him complaining about Tinubu or what? So u would rather an Ifeanyi Ubah or Andy Uba or Willie Obiano(Peter Obi's stooge) be elected rather than an Ngige who never stole your money,battled the Godfather and have shown himself to be a man of his own

People who follow Anambra politics know what I mean when I say Ngige is a desperate man

Voting in Obiano is synomynous with voting serika dickson of Bayelsa another clueless stooge who would be remote controlled from d first lady's bedroom.

because Ngige contested a senate seat and won does not connote desperation! A politician always looks for a way to stay relevant and in the consciousness of the electorates. Am sure u know that Abuja politics in the guise of being a Minister,senator or HOR member has a way of taking people out of circulation except people who take it upon themselves to always visit their constituency. The fact that Ngige is still relevant is a plus to him in my opinion

Igbo threads really make you nervous. If you want to be Igbo you tell us so we can crown you with a title and then exorcise all the nonsense and unconcramus in you.

Soludo will be our governor so please go and drink tea

were you in Nigeria when Ngige accepted to follow his fellow man to swear before a shrine that he will criminally and illegally remit a certain amount monthly into Chris Uba's account? Just because he wanted to be Governor?

That's what desperation looks like! Grown up men with wife and children at home should be above board on some things they indulge in!

We are talking about a man who to this day has not conceded defeat to have lost the last governorship election and still has an ongoing case in court challenging Peter Obi's re-election but meanwhile since then has contested for Senate and preparing to contest for Governor in 2013. If this is not desperation what does desperation look like?

We are talking of a mean who for 2 years in the Senate has not done much in terms of sponsoring bills, which makes me wonder whether the so called record he had in his short stint as Governor was so that he can drag the people into his personal fight with his estranged Godfather even though his so called wonderful record falls short of the basic duties of an average Governor!
