Abia APGA intact, candidate hale and hearty to govern, says Ibe’s aide
UMUAHIA, Nigeria – Abia state All Progressive Grand Alliance APGA has described the news by some media house about looming crisis in the party as figment of imagination of the author.
In a statement issued by the Director, Media & Publicity of Prof Gregory Ibe Campaign Organization Pastor Sleek Ogwo said there is no crisis in APGA and that it’s governorship candidate Prof Gregory Ibe is hale hearty
According to him, the thinking of looming crisis in APGA was nothing but a figment of the faceless writer’s drug induced imagination.
He said the faceless characters had further said “APGA governorship has not been decided by the court and Prof Greg Ibe is also said to be battling critical health challenges”
According to him, it is a deceptive fabrication deployed as a means of introducing doubts in the minds of Abians, with the ultimate aim of discouraging them from voting for Prof Gregory Ibe.
The statement reads” “Our attention has been drawn to a fallacious and malicious online publication by a faceless and unpopular medium that goes by the name of Newsarrow, with sensational heading.
Being a focused campaign organization we would have ignored the content of the said publication, but to forestall the possibility of misleading the public, we hereby state as follows;
That contrary to the uninformed views expressed by the publication, there is no crisis in the Abia state chapter of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) as the Rev Augustine Ehiemere led State Working Committee remains the constitutionally empowered organ that currently superintendent over the party’s affairs.
That the suggestion of looming crisis in the party is nothing but a figment of the faceless writer’s drug induced imagination .That further more the statement by the publication that the “APGA governorship has not been decided by the court and Prof Greg Ibe is also said to be battling critical health challenges” is a deceptive fabrication deployed as a means of introducing doubts in the minds of Abians, with the ultimate aim of discouraging them from voting for him” he stated.
Ogwo stated that Prof Gregory Ibe’s candidacy has since been doubly reaffirmed by two appellate court judgements which respectively ruled in his favour.
He said that there is absence of dispute in the Abia APGA governorship contest as , Prof Ibe’s name is currently listed on the INEC portal as guber candidate for the 11th March 2023 election.
Ogwo said Prof Ibe is not battling any critical health challenge as wrongly insinuated by the fifth columnist rather currently recovering from a leg surgery.
He said in spite of these obvious mundane and diabolic machinations currently being orchestrated and executed by the Pharohs of Abia, all in a bid to scuttle the well articulated plan by our principal to take our people to a New Abia, Prof Ibe remains focused and determined to sacrificially work for the liberation and transformation of Abia state into a land of limitless possibilities.
“Abians are therefore encouraged to ignore these antics by benefactors of our common patrimony, who in their purpose intent to maintain an evil strangle hold on Abia treasure, device all manner of ploys to attempt to discourage well intended individuals like our principal from participating in the act governance.
That Abians should conversely intensify their massive grassroots support for Prof Gregory Ibe and APGA in order to achieve the good plan of rewriting the sad narrative of God’s Own State” he said.
