Former gov Obiano dumps APGA for APC? Fact emerges

Willie Obiano, the former governor of Anambra state, has denied the report that he was planning to leave the All Progressives Congress (APC) to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to TheCable, the chairman of the APC in Anambra state, Basil Ejidike, earlier said that the former governor would be joining the party soon.

But the spokesperson to the former governor, Tony Nezianya, in a statement on Tuesday, November 14, said that the dedication and loyalty of Obiano to APGA was never in doubt.

Nezianya said the former governor has been a strong advocate of the principles and ideologies of APGA, "worked tirelessly to promote its agenda,” and has continued to ensure the success of the party even after he left the office.

He then clarified that he had no plan to leave the APGA, nor did he plan to join another plan.

The statement reads in part: “I have no plan now or in future to leave the party. There is misguided speculation in a section of the media that I plan to jump ship.”

Obiano then called on Governor Soludo of Anambra state to fulfil the promise to pay the allowance for the disengagement of all his political appointees.

According to the former governor, the promise was made at the point of departure in Aguleri.
