APGA dismisses rumour of faction, kicks against chieftain's control

The All Progressives Grand Alliance on Wednesday stressed that there was no form of factions in its rank and file, saying such rumour should be discountenanced.

Also, the party dissociated itself from the self-acclaimed national chairman of the party, Edozie Njoku, adding that he ceased to be a member of the APGA the moment he left the party to contest elective positions in other parties.

The National Youth Leader of the party, Comrade Eze Onyebuchi Eze-Chukwu, said this in Abakaliki, according to The Punch.

He said, “Faction, according to Google Oxford dictionary is ‘a small organised dissenting group within a larger one, especially in politics.’ This means that it will take a member of that group to form a faction of that group, not a non-member. The people you call are first not members of APGA. Only members can form a faction.

“Chief Chekwas Okorie was expelled from APGA in December 2004 for misconduct and he fought his expulsion up to Supreme Court and the highest court held that he was duly expelled.

"This settles the truth that he’s not a member of APGA. Edozie Njoku, who of his own volition left APGA to contest election in another party ceases to be a member of APGA from that exit into another political party and remains a non-member of APGA. The question is, can non-members of APGA form the APGA faction? The answer is a big NO.

“Edozie Njoku is a total stranger who is fighting for what does not belong to him. He’s a party grabber like a land grabber who is also a criminal. Edozie Njoku wants to obtain APGA leadership by force and that’s criminal.

"There is not a single faction in APGA. APGA's leadership under Barr Ezeokenwa Sly Jr is only fighting with criminals trying to steal the party. Njoku and his cohorts are Talibans on assignment to conquer APGA like their types.

“It’s important to know that there is no faction in APGA but a war of survival from an infestation of a virus called Edozie Njoku and his co-travellers. I believe I have convinced and corrected the wrong notion that there is a faction in APGA. By God’s grace, we will soon be done with the treatment of his alien viruses that have attacked our dear party, APGA.”
