APGA members may storm Otuoke over unpaid election largesse


Leaders and members of the All Progressive Grand Alliance across the country are set to embark on a protest to President Goodluck Jonathan’s hometown, Otuoke in Bayelsa State, over the refusal of the President’s aides to release election largesse, promised them before the last presidential poll, to them.

The National Organising Secretary of APGA, Dr. Gbenga Afeni, said this in a statement made available to our correspondent in Osogbo on Monday.

Afeni said the party was promised some amount of money before agreeing to support Jonathan’s re-election, lamenting that the APGA members had yet to receive the promised fund since March 28, when the presidential election took place.

He alleged that the party was shortchanged the same way after supporting Jonathan during the 2011 presidential election, which he won.

The APGA chieftain said at least, 100 members from each state of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory were planning to march to Otuoke even after Jonathan’s exit from Aso Rock to register their displeasure with the breach of agreement by his aides and party leaders.

The statement read, “Arrangements have been concluded to march at least 100 party members from each state of the federation and the FCT to Otuoke, the hometown of President Gooluck Jonathan.

“The purpose of the march is to protest the breach of agreements in 2011 and 2015 general elections. In 2011, APGA supported Jonathan and the PDP to victory and the PDP promised to form a government of national unity inclusive of APGA but the B0T of the PDP, after the election, schemed out APGA from any political appointment.

“Also in 2015, we supported President Jonathan and PDP, but till date, those saddled with the responsibilities of liaising or reaching out to political parties have not shown up by way of appreciation to APGA.”

Afeni said APGA leaders had suffered much embarrassment as their followers were daily demanding their share of the election largesse from them.

You wonder why Igbo Presidency may take about 500 years to materialise under a so-called Igbo Party APGA? A situation which makes the party to always lend its behind to be ravaged by PDP at the detriment of ethics and morality all for Naira and Kobo will forever be the bane of the charlatans who use APGA to negotiate every election year

Madness get different different versions, lolzzz. Hehehehehehe

Ogbeni kilode, did you hear that it's Igbos protesting, from Oshogbo to Otuoke, read the article again. Thats if the story is even true.

That's why I'm not sympathetic to the wails and tales of woe by APGA against PDP in Abia state

PDP and APGA problems are strictly family affairs. Everybody knows APGA is the main PDP feeder team. LP is the alternate.

Hahahahahahhaha!!!

Lies from South West media punch.

Seriously, where does punch get all these weird news from. Any news that paints GEJ in bad light is always from punch news. These guys should just calm down, they've gone from being tribalist by reporting only crimes committed by igbos to witch hunting the SE and GEJ

and who tells the mofos jonathan is going to reside in otueke?..
he is with the UN now.

See Gobe

Eleeyi gidi gan oooo

Am out of F*CKs, please can somebody borrow me One F*ck... PLease even if it is a tiny F*ck so that I can give it to this people

If this is true then APGA is mugu*2. Bamboozled 2011 and 2015

Does it mean that they sold their votes for money and not because they believe the candidate is worthy and can deliver If yes, then it's pathetic

Led by a yoruba man as expected. All to impress Buhari. Don't back out o, come Otueke, you will leave feet first.

The protest shouldn't bother us and shouldn't be of concern to Nigerians...

We weren't privy to the shady deal afterall...

Let the dead bury their dead

Hehehe..dis is getting more interesting

Now in ur view APGA is an Igbo party not a Nigerian party i guess? Just check the name of the person talking(Gbenga Afeni) i hope his name sounds Igbo?

Hmm! Na wa o! But it will be hard for any money to come out now since Jonathan didn't win. l every day, and keep believing. Anyway,if you have problem lasting long in bed, hit me up on BBM- 7C22F6EC.

Funny

FOR GOD'S SAKE SOME PEOPLE NEED TO START SHOWING SOME CLASS. EVEN AFTER THE HUGE FAILURE THEY EXPERIENCED THEY STILL WANT THEIR CUT. APGA HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LEECH IN THE PDP, REMOVE PDP, KILL APGA. GOING TO PROTEST @ OTUOKE AS IF THE MAN WAS IN CHARGE OF THE FUNDS.
THESE MOFOS DESERVE WHAT THEY GET. #ASSKISSERS

South West knows SE has rejected APC so dey are trying so hard to paint SE bad to make it look like dey supported GEJ 4 financial gain. Believe those Treacherous people and their propaganda at your own peril.
