APGA Crisis: National Chairman calls on Soludo to unite party

Embattled National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Edozie Njoku has urged Chief Victor Oye to give up his leadership fight in the interest of the party.

Njoku declared that the game is over.

His comment follows a letter from Supreme Court justice Mary Odili on November 7, clarifying the true leadership of the party.

Mrs. Odili, in the letter, made a correction in her panel’s judgment of October 2021, wherein the name of Victor Oye was erroneously inserted instead of Edozie Njoku.

Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday after the correction was made on Monday, Njoku begged everyone involved in the matter to put down their swords and allow peace to reign, Daily Post reports.

“I beg everybody involved, particularly Chief Victor Oye to put down his sword because the game is up,” he said.

He also urged Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo to ensure togetherness in the party. He notes that failure of cohesion within the party would be catastrophic for the party in the coming elections.

“By virtue of his being the governor of Anambra State, I like to call on Chief Charles Soludo to rise to the occasion and let this crisis in APGA be buried once and for all, and let’s move forward,” he added.

He warned that any attempt to shove aside a Supreme Court judgment would mean that the party wants to play with the 2023 elections, a risk, according to him, that is going to jeopardize the elections.

Njoku described as ridiculous claims by the Oye’s camp that he had gone again to forge Mary Odili’s letter.

He asked the people not to be deceived, daring anyone to come and arrest him for forgery.

“We should now say Chief Victor Oye, you’ve run a good race. Hang up your boots, please,” he maintained.
