The founder and chairman of APGA BOT, Chief Chekwas Okorie has said the party may not sponsor the governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo as its candidate for the 2025 governorship election.
In a statement released in Abuja, Okorie said, “The supremacy of the political party in all party democracies in the world is sacrosanct.
There is no denying the fact that Prof Chukwuma Soludo, the Governor of Anambra state, has been persistent in rebuffing all entreaties by the Edozie Njoku led leadership of APGA for him to facilitate peace and reconciliation in the party where providence placed him as the highest elected leader.
His personal option to take sides with the rebellious faction of the Party and deploy enormous resources and energy to fight the authentic APGA led by Edozie Njoku as National Chairman caused the party much setback.
The fact that the Party has not activated the relevant constitutional provisions in the party constitution to sanction him in spite of his unrepentant recalcitrant and anti party activities underscores the elasticity of the tolerance and patience of the Party leadership to allow him the latitude to turn a new leaf.
Soludo is holding the short end of the stick.
His time with APGA is fast running out. It will be dangerous and indeed suicidal for the party to sponsor a blatantly disloyal party member for any election whatsoever on its platform.
The option to redeem himself and return to the APGA family rests with him, but let me repeat that time is running out on him.”
