NEWS BREAKING!! APGA MOVES TO DUMP WILLY OBIANO AS THE PARTY FLAG BEARER,UCHE EKWUNIFE TIPPED TO REPLACE HIM "The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has concluded plans to dump its gubernatorial candidate for the November 16 2013 governorship election, chief Willie Obiano over major controversies surrounding his emergence and double registration in the voter registration exercise. Though the party’s hierarchy has continued to deny the controversial double registration which it claims was rather a mere transfer of Obiano’s voter’s card from Lagos to Anambra State, it was gathered that the reported double registration of Obiano in Lagos where he had stayed as his operation base and Anambra State, if found to be true will attract either fine or a term of imprisonment. Anambra State Voter’s Card VIN number 90f5B15E7D378 was said to have been issued to Obiano on September 3,2013. According to sources, the shoddy manner in which his double registration was mishandled has made the party to look for an alternative candidate to carry the party’s flag. Though Ekwunife’s name dominated the discussion, it was gathered that an option was made to have Dr. Chike Obidigbo to fly the party’s flag in the election. But Obidigbo’s name was eventually dropped, on account of the fact that the main stream national leadership of the party led by chief Victor Umeh did not endorse the primary that produced him. It was at this juncture that Ekwunife’s name was thrown up as a possible gubernatorial candidate f the party in the November 16, 2013 election. An impeccable source disclosed that Obiano is aware of the move to drop him , hence an emergency meeting of his Campaign Organization held at Parktonia Hotel, Awka, Tuesday, where the group begged that Obiano be considered as the consensus candidate from the Anambra North Senatorial zone, which is yet to produce a governor since 1991 the state was created. Already, intrigues appear to characterize the emergence of the governor of the State with a defeated gubernatorial aspirant in the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) primary, Hon, Uche Ekwunife warming up and waiting for the disqualificatio n of the party’s flag bearer, chief Willie Obiano. Ekwunife, Vice Chairman of House of Representatives Committee on Environment scored 158 votes to place second in the APGA August 26 gubernatorial primary won by late entrant, chief Umeano who emerged as the flag bearer through courtesy of the party’s machinery. Following the seeming foisting of Obiano, Ekwunife reportedly fumed at what her camp regarded as an undemocratic process through which the APGA candidate was thrown up, a position that contrasts with her readiness to support any competitor in all elections she contested and lost. Since the primary Ekwunife who went under after the emergence of Obiano, simply attends necessary APGA functions hatching her next game plan |
