Says Ojukwu remains party’s National Leader
Some leaders of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) took to the podium yesterday in Awka in a last ditch move to save the party from going under.
Led by Bianca, the widow of the late Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, national leader of the party, the APGAleaders issued a clarion call to supporters to keep it afloat.
The occasion was what the party called ‘the mother of all rallies’ to mark the first year remembrance of the late Ojukwu.
Bianca, Nigeria’s ambassador to Spain, speaking in Igbo, said, “Today marks one year that my husband and our National Leader was laid to rest. I thank all of you that made today possible. This rally is a wonderful one.
“Nobody can remove our flag from INEC. Don’t allow this party to die and don’t allow this party to be put to shame.
“I have pleaded with Governor Peter Obi to conduct the local government election and he has agreed to do so. Those who don’t want to continue in APGA will be given a befitting send off but the era where one or two persons were taking decisions on our behalf in the party is over.”
She condemned the recent destruction of the Ojukwu Library in Owerri by unknown persons.
Governor Obi who is the National Deputy Leader of the party, reading what he called resolutions passed by those at the rally said the late Dim Ojukwu remains the National Leader of APGA.
The party, he maintained
He said: “We stand by our earlier resolution to continue to support His Excellency President Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan . We state that our great party remains committed to good governance in Nigeria at all levels of government.”
He said APGA is out to win more states in 2015 and mentioned in particular Ebonyi, Enugu and Abia.
Obi said the rally was an opportunity to celebrate Dim Ojukwu for what he was to the Igbo people and to invoke his spirit to continue to be with, and guide APGA as it embarks on the process of rebuilding and strengthening the party.
Other speakers at the rally included Dr. Tim Menakaya, Maxi Okwu and Odi Nwosu.
They all expressed happiness at the rejuvenation of APGA and asked supporters to embrace the new spirit and work hard for the growth of the party.
At the rally were : Anambra State Deputy governor, Emeka Sibeudu; Chinwe Nwebili, Speaker of the State House of Assembly and her deputy, Chukwudi Orizu; Dr. Tim Menakaya, BOT member; Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu, Prof. Dora Akunyili, Ambassador Odi Nwosu, Obinna Obiegue, Ochiagha Reagan Ufomba, Chuma Nzeribe; former members of APGA National Working Committee now functioning on interim basis, namely, Chief Chris Uche, Alhaji Garba Barne, Chinyere Okeke, Bernad Akoma, Sunday Obaslam, Chief Dickson Osu, Tondo Joseph, Ella Nwabueze, Ferguson Okpara, E.A Shonubi, Dr. Gbenga Afeni, Abubakar Adamu, Dr. Sagir Auwal Maidigu, Lawal Barma, Alfred Nwosu, Dr. Isa Jiga, Mrs Victoria Oyeng, Ambassador Frank Ogwuewu, Chief Reagan Ofomba, Okey Udeh, and Chief Okey Ezeibe,

Gbongbonosi: Hmmm. Anytime I heard about this man I use to laugh iS like Sam loko he still remain national party leader?please what can A dead person can offer again?how could evil man be your great leader?thank god that its only igboland that party can have access

HAH: The truth is APGA is already death and they died by committing a suicide of allying with PDP,

The Igbo should hold APGA strongly as their identity, they can never be president if they sopport PDP because PDP has 15 governors in the north and having only 3 in the SE and 8 in the entire south.

berem: Ojukwu is dead but his Manhood still lives on! His Manhood still controls the party if you must know.
