APGA's Founding Chairman Chekwas Okorie Dumps And Forms UPGA by Nobody: 6:40am On Mar 29, 2012 |
The founding national chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Chekwas Okorie, has finally dumped the party and formed the United Peoples Grand Alliance (UPGA.) He had voluntarily halted the leadership dispute in APGA and discontinued all court actions to that effect, after what he described as soul- searching meeting with political associates from the six-geopolitical zones of the country. Speaking in Abuja where he unveiled UPGA, which he termed a better and more sophisticated political machine, Chief Okorie said the death of the leader of APGA, Chief Emeka Oju-kwu, had sealed the chan-ces of advancing the peace initiatives initiated to resolve the lingering disputes in APGA. According to him, as it became clear that the time to move on had come, following the demise of Ojukwu, he could not, however, ditch his former party until the completion of the funeral rites of the former Biafran leader. He carpeted persons who were said to have written a protest letter to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to halt the registration of UPGA and wondered why allegations arose that the new party conflicted with APGA. “Anybody who is literate up to primary school, who can read APGA and UPGA as well as other acronyms will know that INEC arranges ballot papers in alphabetical order,” he said. Speaking further, Chief Okorie said the constitution of the new party, UPGA, among other things, would safeguard internal party democracy, level-playing field for all party members, discipline, accountability and periodic change of leadership at all levels through elections. He further noted that the manifesto of the party laid emphasis on the economic, political and social empowerment of the Nigerian masses in whom Nigeria’s sovereignty resided. “The ideology of UPGA is anchored on welfarism, liberalism and progressivism,” he said, adding that the leadership of UPGA would soon embark on massive consultation and sensitisation of Nigerians at home and abroad before the formal launching of the party, after it must have been formally registered by the INEC. www.tribune.com.ng/index.php/news/38424-apgas-founding-chairman-dumps-party-floats-upga |

i sense some sell out politicians in the south east are already being used to destabilize the south east position in 2015, but the good news is that, political awareness in the east is fast growing at the speed of light and whatever UPGA or whatever they call themselves is planning, APGA belongs to us the IGBOS and this time APGA will stand its grounds in 2015 and also spread to neighboring states.so UPGA will just be dreaming and probably die a natural death or maybe can find a place in the South west and probably take over Lagos from ACN. |

What is wrong with breaking away and forming a new party.. It's a free country as long as it's done within the ambits of the law His party will have to prove to the electorate that they are worth voting for. 1 Like |

APGA = Igbo peoples Party. Popularity begins and end in Igboland. Chances of Winning the 2015 presidential elections are the same as the chance that Jesus is coming by 2015. UPGA = Igbo Party for Osu's. Popularity unknown. Chances of winning even a local government area are so low there is no yardstick to compare or measure. |

An average Nigerian politician is a political prostitute. Whenever things don't work their own way they will decamp and start castigating their party but i thank God that there is still men of integrity like Dr Alex Ekwueme who is still in PDP after two defeat . "you can't build a system outside a system" But my word of advice to Chekwas is for him to go to Boko Haram country and start mobilizing people because if he try it in Anambra state where people are well informed, his money will finish without achieving anything. |

UPGA can be said to simply mean Unsuccessful People Grand Alliance since the founder has unsuccessfully tried to chair APGA which made him to form UPGA where the unsuccessful APGA members will have a soft landing. However i think the two parties APGA & UPGA will soon die a premature death. |

i dnt blev, leven a part to form anoda one is the answer to there quest. 90 to 95pecent of our politcians has no focus, all wat they want is moni. Atiku, left pdp to form is own party, the party was nt able to giv hm wat he wantd. The same tin goes to buhari, hw many court case has he lost? Durin obasanjo, he went to court, durin yaradua, he wen to court, also wit jonathan, very soon he wil dragg ketchen wit his wife and if he lost he wil go to cot. So dis new part is only teasty f4 moni, and he will get it. |

Chekwas Okorie has noting to offer and should stop fooling himself. Time has gone for people to stop looking at party but at someone`s credibility. We should opt for a change no longer business as usual. Nigeria and indeed South east is sinking drastically and we should be looking for people who have the capacity to make changes not the opportunist like Theoder Orji, Rochas Okorocha, Martin Agbaso, Orji Uzor Kalu,hope uzodimma, etc. |

[color=#770077][/color] The joy I have is that yesterday is not today. A cashless Economy'll soon comence and it'll require a lot of securities. These security'll spread to all area including INEC and Voting process. That implies no one party in a multi-party system exept 4 clear majority decision. New party is welcomed, but it can never again distabilize any ethnic group again because only ignorant people'll care to vie 4 any post again the picked peoples choice. |

[color=#770077][/color] Chekwas is a frustrated brut. Is he now tired of trying to hijack the leadership of APGA thro some judicial mago-mago? APGA has come to stay in the Igbo nation. UPGA will go the way of UNDP and MMM. |

Why should people get twisted out of human form because Chekwas formed another party in a political system that encourages part politics? I remember this political metamorphosis AG UPN AD AC ACN |
Tambuwal, Fashola Presidential Ticket Can Crush PDP –Rep / I Have Never Seen A Muslim Who Supports Jonathans Re-election. / ACN/CPC Merger To Oust GEJ Has Paid Off Once Again. Congrats To Tinubu & Yorubas
