Amid intense speculations that Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State is contemplating defecting from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to the All Progressives Congress (APC), a chieftain of APC and the member representing Ogbaru Federal Constituency, Mr. Victor Ogene, has vowed to stop the governor from defecting to APC.
In a statement in Awka, Ogene, said the governor’s entry into the APC would only stunt the expected resurgence of the party in the state and the entire South East geo- political zone.

Ogene, who is the deputy chairman, House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, wondered what value the governor would add to the APC, after abysmally leading APGA down the path of extinction through a combination of autocracy, vindictiveness, haughtiness and a crass disposition of self- adulation.

Ogene asked: “Is the man we are talking about not the one who, in the words of famed novelist, the late Chinua Achebe, had his palm kernel cracked for him by benevolent spirits, yet he refused to be humble. Where is former Governor Peter Obi? Where are the five House of Representatives members that Obiano inherited when he became governor? How many seats did he lead APGA to win in the just concluded elections? The questions are legion, yet very few optimistic answers.

Ogene said that under the circumstance, he would advise Governor Obiano to remain in APGA and clean up the mess he instigated, before embarking on another political voyage.

Obiano seems to be a reasonable man, focussed and mature. He should remain in his party and rally men of like minds to a strong opposition party that could mitigate likely excesses from APC.

Much as I support APC, one cannot deny the importance of having a vibrant opposition. It is the only way to deepen democracy and promote good governance.

Obiano should take serious time he should better not be contemplating joining that lying party called APC or l swear i go throw him name for Amadioha shrine to deal with him.

This must be one of APC lies if willie is to decamp he will join PDP cos they swept Senate and HOR and is more accpected in Anambra but he is going nowhere
Willie is working

Abagworo:


Lol. Once again I seem to be right. Obiano has the character of a progressive quite unlike Peter Obi. His joining APC is merely joining like minds that want the development of Nigeria. Victor Umeh is never a good friend to anybody. To him it is all about the money.

ozoigbondu:


He will never join that cult called APC or else.......where are gods of our land.....willie take time

GeJ's legacy is free and fair elections.
