Edozie Njoku, national chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), says Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra, cannot impose himself on the party.
Njoku, who was recently recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the chairman of APGA, spoke on Channels Television’s Politics Today,
He said Soludo is not greater than the party and should stoop to conquer.
“I have stooped a lot, I have gone to him (Gov Soludo), I have had meetings with him. The important thing is doing the right thing at all times and not thinking you can impose yourself on the party,” Njoku said.
“Soludo might need to bite the bit let us hear each other because we are the party and the party is supreme.”
Njoku also dismissed rumours that he planned to scuttle the second term ambition of the governor in 2025.
He stressed that the rift between him and Soludo might affect the party’s fortunes in next year’s governorship election In Anambra State.
The APGA chairman added that he does not have any grudge against the governor.
“I am too big for what you are saying. Why should I have anything against Soludo? The only thing Soludo doesn’t like is that I am a man who has my own mind,” he said.
“Governor Soludo is looking for an SA who is has and now installed him. APGA has said it will not happen, APGA must have good executives.”
APGA has been embroiled in a leadership crisis as both Sylvester Ezeokenwa and Njoku are claiming to be the APGA Chairman.
Ezeokenwa was elected as APGA Chairman in May 2023 after an elective convention was held in Awka, Anambra state.
However, in July, INEC recognised Edozie Njoku as the national chair of APGA. The electoral body said it relied on a court order to do so.
