NEWS BREAKING!! APGA MOVES TO DUMP WILLY
OBIANO AS THE PARTY FLAG BEARER,UCHE
EKWUNIFE TIPPED TO REPLACE HIM
"The All Progressives Grand Alliance
(APGA) has concluded plans to
dump its
gubernatorial candidate for the
November 16 2013 governorship
election,
chief Willie Obiano over major
controversies surrounding his
emergence and
double registration in the voter
registration exercise.
Though the party’s hierarchy has
continued to deny the
controversial
double registration which it
claims was rather a mere transfer
of Obiano’s
voter’s card from Lagos to
Anambra State, it was gathered
that the
reported double registration of
Obiano in Lagos where he had
stayed as his
operation base and Anambra
State, if found to be true will
attract either
fine or a term of imprisonment.
Anambra State Voter’s Card VIN
number 90f5B15E7D378 was said
to have
been issued to Obiano on
September 3,2013.
According to sources, the shoddy
manner in which his double
registration
was mishandled has made the
party to look for an alternative
candidate to
carry the party’s flag. Though
Ekwunife’s name dominated the
discussion,
it was gathered that an option
was made to have Dr. Chike
Obidigbo to fly
the party’s flag in the election.
But Obidigbo’s name was
eventually dropped, on account of
the fact that
the main stream national
leadership of the party led by chief
Victor Umeh
did not endorse the primary that
produced him.
It was at this juncture that
Ekwunife’s name was thrown up
as a possible
gubernatorial candidate f the
party in the November 16, 2013
election.
An impeccable source disclosed
that Obiano is aware of the move
to drop
him , hence an emergency
meeting of his Campaign
Organization held at
Parktonia Hotel, Awka, Tuesday,
where the group begged that
Obiano be
considered as the consensus
candidate from the Anambra
North Senatorial
zone, which is yet to produce a
governor since 1991 the state
was created.
Already, intrigues appear to
characterize the emergence of the
governor of
the State with a defeated
gubernatorial aspirant in the All
Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA)
primary, Hon, Uche Ekwunife
warming up
and waiting for the
disqualificatio n of the party’s flag
bearer, chief
Willie Obiano.
Ekwunife, Vice Chairman of
House of Representatives
Committee on
Environment scored 158 votes to
place second in the APGA August
26
gubernatorial primary won by late
entrant, chief Umeano who
emerged as the
flag bearer through courtesy of
the party’s machinery.
Following the seeming foisting of
Obiano, Ekwunife reportedly
fumed at
what her camp regarded as an
undemocratic process through
which the APGA
candidate was thrown up, a
position that contrasts with her
readiness to
support any competitor in all
elections she contested and lost.
Since the primary Ekwunife who
went under after the emergence
of Obiano,
simply attends necessary APGA
functions hatching her next game
plan
