Ejikeme Uwa–UMUAHIA
The chairman of Abia state All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) Rev.
Ehiemere in a press statement made available to our reporter in Umuahia on Thursday, described Prince Nnanna Ukaegbu as an impostor, who forcefully broke into the state Secretariat.
He added that APGA leadership as, a law abiding party, has already reported to law enforcement agencies of the invasion of the party’s Secretariat by Nnanna Ukaegbu and his sponsors.
Ehiemere said that Ukaegbu’s tenure as party chairman expired in 2014, adding that he had since then stopped identifying with APGA, but romancing with some anti-democratic forces holding the state down.
According to Ehiemere, “Everybody knows he is an impostor and he illegally broke into our office, which is a criminal offense.
Nnanna Ukaegbu, should know that he is an expired chairman whose tenure ended since 2014.”
Ehiemere stated that Abia APGA Leadership is united under his watch and urged members of the public to disregard Ukaegbu and his co-travellers.
“I want our party members and supporters as well as members of the public to remain calm. The law will take its course and our detractors and their sponsors will be put to shame.
“All Abians and APGA supporters should be calm and not be distracted by this political traders and their sponsors,” Ehiemere stated.
Ehiemere said that those who feel intimidated by the growing popularity and swelling supporters of APGA and its candidates in 2023 are the masterminds of the current distraction to possibly destabilize the party.
He called on Abians to sustain their support for APGA, as well prayers for the state, adding that democracy is under attack in the state.
