THE All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, party has accused the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the November 6 poll of buying up its members to form his structure.
The National Coordinator of APGA Media Warriors, Chinedu Obigwe, stated this yesterday in Awka, the state capital
Describing Uba as not being politically saleable to the people of the state, Obigwe said that is why the APC candidate is buying APGA members to help him form a structure
Obigwe’s reaction followed the defection of the deputy governor of the state, Dr Nkem Okeke, from APGA to the APC on Wednesday.
He said, “Ndi Anambra and Nigerians at large know that Andy Uba’s candidature is not acceptable even to the main APC stakeholders led by Senator Chris Ngige and George Moghalu.
“For that reason, he is struggling to make President Buhari believe that his candidature is enjoying wide acceptance by Ndi Anambra by buying over saboteurs to defect to the APC.
“Nkem Okeke and Senator Chris Ngige are from the same Senatorial zone and if Ngige is supporting Andy Uba, he is the person in the right position to take Nkem Okeke to President (Muhammadu) Buhari to be welcomed into APC by the President.
“The two people that did the introduction of Nkem Okeke to the President played the role of Ngige and such a thing happened because Ngige is not in support of Andy Uba.
“You cannot be taking those you claimed that they joined a ruling party at the federal level to the President without a serving minister that hails from the same state with them and that is incidentally the leader of the party in the state.”
