Imo Apga Chairman Accuses Rochas Okorocha Of Fuelling Crises by Ovularia: 5:35pm On Sep 20, 2011

The leadership of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Imo, under which the state governor, Rochas Okorocha won the April 26, 2011 governorship election is currently faced with controversy.

Last week in Owerri, the APGA National Deputy Chairman Frank Ojiaho, inaugurated a 15-member “Interim Executive Committee” of a faction of the party led by Udo Aguoha.

However, in two different statements issued in Owerri on Thursday, the state Chairman Cletus Nwaka said that the emergence of the new executive was illegal.

Mr Nwaka said he was still the authentic state chairman of the party.

In one of the statements, which was addressed to the Imo Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mr Nwaka claimed that the entire members of the said new executive were not registered with the party in Imo, and accused Mr Okorocha of being the mastermind of the development.

“There is no constitutionally recognised body known as the National Stakeholders of APGA which can make far-reaching decisions for the party. The recognised organs of the party that can make decisions for the party are National Working Committee, National Executive Committee and National Convention.

“Here in Imo State the APGA structure under the leadership of Prince C.C. Nwaka as the chairman and Ochudo Martin Agbaso as the leader has been strong, virile and indefatigable at all levels.

“Martin is the immediate elder brother of the deputy Governor, Jude Agbaso. Surprisingly, the governor himself in tandem with the machinations of these people has refused vehemently to work with the party that produced him as governor.” Mr Nwaka said.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Media, Chinedu Offor, did not pick his calls when called for comments.

However, the Special Assistant on Media (Print), Ebere Uzokwa, said the governor was not aware of the leadership squabble in the state.

He said the governor had just returned to the country after a three-week tour of Europe in search of foreign investors.

“The governor didn’t mandate anybody to dissolve the executive or create a new one, the governor is innocent of the whole saga.” Mr Uzokwa said, adding that as the leader of the party in the state, the governor would surely intervene to ensure that there was no crisis in the party in Imo.

APGA died with ojukwu. The continued crisis in the party is making the party is making the party lack the political strenth to fight PDP come 2014.
