He said they dumped All Progressive Grand Alliance APGA because it  has diverted  from it  core values that brought some of them in.

“APGA now is a party of nepotism , high-handedness  and has become property of some families and individuals in the state. In fact APGA is led by an emperor. We were treated badly as  strangers in the party we collectively built ” he said

He said that he left APGA because of the fraudulent primaries that brought Prof. Charles Soludo as the candidate of the party. According to him, those who  do not love Andy Uba are those who don’t know him.

Also speaking, house member representing Ekwusigo constituency Hon. Onyebuchi Augustine said that APGA has collapsed under the leadership of Chief Willie Obiano  because of  nepotism and favouritism. According to him, APGA government is full of lies and it is time to stop the continuity  of lies and godfatherism in the state.

He said that Obiano  disqualified him without reason  because he wanted  to install Soludo as the governor. He said that one of the  lies of Obiano was that he asked the house to approve N10billion for the construction of the Anambra airport and at the time he said he had completed the airport.

According to him, if the airport is completed why budgeting for it in the next year budget? He said the airport is not completed and not ready for any Business. He said that those who said APC is not on ground in Anambra are just deceiving themselves, saying that the party is on ground .

Also  member representing Awka north Hon. John Nwokoye said he left APGA because Obiano refused to do anything for his constituency and his people  are accusing him  of selling out. According to him, he has pulled out his people from APGA and they will vote for APC .

Also member representing Aguata Carter Dike said  ,he left because the party collected his money for primaries and disqualified  him without any reason. According to him, the party has become family affair and if you are not from Aguleri, you  are seen  as a stranger in the government .

Responding , the deputy governor ,thanked the caucus members for finding time to visit him , even in the thick of campaigns in their various area. Okeke said that he had wanted to join other party in his political career , saying that he had reached his peak in APGA.

According to him, Anambra state cannot continue to be a lone ranger all the time ,saying that since the party formation it has not grown beyond  the state. He stated that the people of the state most begin to think beyond their limitations to greater  height.

He said that the candidate of APC is a refined gentleman with good heart to take the state to greater level. According to him, one does not need to be a PH.D holder to govern effectively ,saying that what is needed is good heart.

“Our people see APC as Fulani party . Are they not  some of  our people who are there? .if you hate APC because of Buhari one day he must leave the party ,an Igbo may become the president  and then will  call it Igbo party ” he said
