A factional group of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), calling itself the Authentic All Progressives Grand Alliance (AAPGA) has asked Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State, to resign as governor and chairman, Board of Trustee of APGA for endorsing President Muhammadu Buhari for the 2019 elections without recourse to the leadership and members of the party.

The National chairman of the group, Chief Jerry Obasi, told reporters on Friday in Abuja that the governor has brought APGA to ridicule, odium and made it a laughing stock in the eyes of reasonable Nigerians.


He lamented that Governor Obiano endorsed President Buhari during a former president Goodluck Jonathan’s book lunch “My Transition Hours” in Abuja recently despite APGA having Gen. John Gbor rtd.as its presidential candidate for 2019 poll.

They accused the governor of anti-party activities and breach of Article 22(2D) of the party’s constitution deposited with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).


Obasi said the original and foundational ideology of APGA is that it should be inclusive and guarantee the rights of members to express themselves in line with democratic principles regretting that it is obvious from prevailing circumstances that the party has derailed and lost the moral compass that endeared it to marginalized Nigerians.

“There is urgent need therefore, for loyal and genuine members of the party to embark on a programme that would bring back the party to the original ideas. This programme would involve the reconciliation and unification of all those that fought through thick and thin to ensure that APGA serves the purpose of political emancipation of all oppressed people,” he said.

He said the new APGA intends to reach out to all those who have suffered injustice, impunity and deprivation with a view to refocusing the party in line with the original ideology and principles.

He also asked the National Chairman of APGA, Dr. Victor Ike Oye, to resign his position having failed to improve the fortunes and good image of the party.

“The complaints from Imo, Abia and Anambra State chapters of APGA, to mention but a few, detailing the exchange of bribes in foreign and local currencies, are too weighty to be swept under the carpet,” he said.

None of the officials of APGA were willing to respond, as they neither picked their phone calls nor reply SMS asking for their reactions.

Taking alcohol is a choice

That Sharia forbids it doesn't mean other religion must do the same .

I'm a Muslim and I take alcohol when necessary

yemmight:
Just like when we used to have a drunken fisherman in Aso rock. They are the same.

NaijaRoyelty:
Your business ?

Like I've said before , Nigeria is not an Islamic state so stop telling people how to live their life.

Total Islamization of Nigeria is one dream that would never come true , so stop wasting your time .

NaijaRoyelty:
Nigeria is.not an Islamic state

Don't dictate to nobody how to live their lives.

The demand was sequel to the adoption of the report of the Senate Committee on Finance.

The committee considered a motion, “The urgent need to review the excise tariff increment in order to save local distillers of beverages from looming extinction” – which was moved by Ben Uwajumogu (APC, Imo North) in May.

He had stated that the current excise duty paid by the locally produced beverages sector stands at 20 per cent across board. But under the approved excise duty tariff hike by the federal government, it is fixed at 67 per cent; a more than 300 per cent increase.


The federal government had in March, rolled out a proposal for the upward review of excise duty on alcoholic beverages and tobacco products.

The approval, according to the former Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, was given by President Muhammadu Buhari, and would take effect from June 4, 2018.

Mrs Adeosun in a statement said the president also granted a grace period of 90 days to all local manufacturers before the commencement of the new excise duty regime.

She also stated that there would be no increase in excise duty of other locally produced goods and that the new excise duty rates would be spread over a three-year period from 2018 to 2020 in order to moderate the impact on prices of the products.

In the committee’s report, presented by the chairman, John Enoh, it said the discussion with stakeholders should pave the way for consensus on the implementation .

It also said an increment of not more than 50 per cent should be adopted, “as it becomes necessary for the Federal Government to increase the tariff in order to boost revenue as the rate will provide more leniency to the affected manufacturers and give more hope for the survival of local firms”.

It stated that there is need to increase the import duties of foreign alcoholic beverages and tobacco products in order to give local firms more competitive edge.

The Senate urged the government to sensitise and carry along the producers and consumers of alcohol and tobacco products to understand the need for the increase and its advantage in adding to the economic fortunes of the country.

The lawmakers agreed that if the new excise tariff is allowed to be implemented by the government, it will stand at about 500 per cent after the three years incremental period.

It also said if the tariff is fully implemented without review, it is capable of compelling affected companies that cannot stand with the new rate to either shut down or relocate their full operation to neighbouring countries with favourable and flexible taxation policies for the sector.

President Muhammadu Buhari will today visit Maiduguri, the Borno State capital in an effort to boost the morale of the Nigerian troop fighting the Boko Haram insurgents in the North east geopolitical zone.
