Deputy National Secretary of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Jerry Obasi, has urged members of the party across the federation to arise and rescue APGA from the hands of Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano and its incumbent National Chairman, Victor Oye before the party dies.
This is even as Obasi alleged that
Obiano and Oye want APGA dead in order to achieve the aims of their sponsors
who he claimed don’t wish Ndigbo well.
He alleged that the Anambra governor has hijacked the party and plots to impose
Oye for a second term, even when majority of APGA members want a new
chairman as a result of the dwindling fortunes of the party.
Obasi in an interview added that most members of the party are tired of
Oye as national chairman, and wants him to give way to a new chairman who will
reform the party in line with the vision of its founders.
The APGA chieftain explained that
Obiano has been frustrating efforts to reform APGA and sack what he
described as the inept Oye led executive of APGA, stressing that this had led
to most members of the party to stay away from APGA activities.
“Willie Obiano and Victor Oye are the problem of APGA. They want APGA dead
to serve the interest of their masters who don’t wish Ndigbo well. As a result
of Obiano and Oye’s inept leadership, APGA has been losing membership in
the South East which is its strongest support
base. Founding fathers and elders of the party have been frustrated to become
spectators.
“They have hoarded forms for the ward, LGA, State congresses and national convention from party members who don’t support their illegal activities. I’m an aspirant to the national chairmanship position; I have visited the national secretariat.
“There are no forms. They are being
hoarded by Oye and Obiano. They only want their loyalists to win to complete
the burial of APGA.
“Before the polls, APGA had the prospect of winning the governorship and
legislative seats in Imo and Abia, but Obiano and Oye factionalized APGA by
selling party ticket to non members.
The gains APGA made in the 2015
general elections were reversed by Obiano and Oye’s anti party activities.
“It is unfortunate APGA has degenerated to the extent that attendance of
NEC meeting is now by invitation. Statutory members of the NEC and BOT like
Chief Victor Umeh and Dim Ojukwu’s widow, Bianca were not invited.
“How can a national party of APGA’s status hold a NEC meeting without its statutory members with strangers to the party like Victor Oye and Willie Obiano, presiding? It is just one of the many plots to ensure that the unpopular Oye who has derailed the party is returned to another term to finally bury APGA. But we will not sit by and watch such happen. Oye and Obiano must go for APGA to survive.

“APGA cannot survive another four
years of inept leadership by the Oye and
Obiano faction.”
Obasi who is a former Ebonyi State chairman of APGA said it has become
pertinent for APGA members across the federation to rise and rescue the party
from what he described as Oye’s visionless administration.
