APGA Members Defect To APC In Anambra

Supporters of the Maxi Okwu-led faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA,in Anambra state, have defected in their hundreds to the All Progressives Congress,APC.

The move follows the recognition of Victor Umeh as the National Chairman by the Independent National Electoral Commission,INEC.

The members, who had celebrated the vacation of the Federal High Court Awka order against Okwu’s chairmanship, said they later discovered that the vacation did not upturn the Appeal Court’s stay of execution, which reinstated Umeh as National Chairman.

This comes as the state chairmen of Congress for Progressive Change,CPC, Chuba Ikeagwu; All Nigerian Peoples Party,ANPP, Pat Orjiakor, and Action Congress of Nigeria,ACN, Amaechi Obidike, commenced harmonisation of party leaderships from ward to state level.

The pact is geared towards ensuring that the APC wins the 2013 gubernatorial election in the state.

Speaking at the ANPP office in Awka, leader of the ex-APGA members, Ogemdi Ikwuakor, said they were unhappy with the crisis in APGA.

“Presently we are confused as to what to believe and most of us have political ambitions to actualise.

“We have this fear that APGA may not produce candidates for Local Government election and gubernatorial election in Anambra State.

“So, we have to join the APC because, at least, there is no crisis in the party and if these political parties can come together and become one party, it shows that the party will go places”.

Also speaking, ANPP state chairman, Pat Orjiakor, said that the party and its allies were positioning to cause upset in the forthcoming poll.

“We know that 2013 election is not going to be easy, but both the PDP and APGA are in crisis, with several factions here and there, and that is a huge plus for us; and we have the strong conviction that APC has covered about 60 per cent of its journey to the Government House”.

Orjiakor further noted that the new members would be given a level playing ground to participate in any electoral process.

He assured them that the APC remains strong despite its present challenges.

PDP should field Soludo and reclaim Anambra

Lmao. Nigerian politicians are the biggest political prostitutes in the world. They change party like pant, based on where they sense the tide is going to. They are not to be trusted, only where their bread is buttered is where they are found. Something needs to be done about this, so people can only belong to parties they believe in.

They are welcome to the family of progressives.

pant is even better!
Like a menstrual pad!

NICE SEEING APC spreading like a malignant cancerous cells!

I D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ come,make I go tink of watin to write.

this isn't news as any party that isn't PDP is definitely APC.

APGA is a sinking party, it failed to win a single senatorial post in 2011, lost 2 to PDP and 1 to ACN, commonsense dictates they need to reinforce and create a formidable opposition.
The effeminate speaking governor is a PDP-Apga, he has sold the party for a pot of hot porridge.

Good as it may sound, its funny and at d same time stupid. Hw can dey b dEcamping to a nonexistent party. APC is a political group nd nt a party cos it hasn't been registerd. As much as I wud want APC registered, I doubt if dat wud happen wit d level of desperation GEJ is exhibiting. He is ready to sacrifice the peace nd unity of dis country at d altar of 2015

Nigerian politicians are prostitutes. Changing frm party to party. I've known n believe dat they lack ideology. Once they hv problem they cross carpet instead of settling their differences. As for APC, de people of Anambra will not give em de support they need to win elections. PDP will carry de day.

chidindufrank: PDP should feed Soludo and reclaim Anambra

Jonsin people in a jonsin country

I am not APC supporter but if they field Ngige as candidate in next year election they will win the election. U guys need to come to Anambra to see how popular Ngige is

APC used to be a potent drug for the treatment of certain ailments but of recent these viruses/bacteria have developed resistance to the APC. The APC political association as it is currently will need to return to their political research laboratory to purge themselves of the religious fundamentalist,terrorists,traitors,renegades and thieves. If APC want to be taken serious to root out PDP in 2015 then Tinubu, Buhari,Rochas and Amaechi are bad omen for APC

Last time I checked there was no registered party as APC, so where them decamp go...

GBAM!

It's no longer news that our politicians lack distinct ideologies, they are fair weather politicians, they decamp en mass to whatever political party that has the edge.... It's a pity.

I believe we'll get it right one day sha, no matter how long....

This is why come 2015, I will never vote based on party but on individual personality.

APC CPC PDP ACN APGA etc are all crooks. It is same criminals of pdp that are migrating to other parties and vice versa.

Expect more shocker when APC is registered. Rip pdp (apart)!

APC has come 2 stay, it is the future party of the progressives. A party to disengage PDP

APC
