The All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, has fixed December 17, 2014 for a Special National Convention to formally ratify the appointment of the Anambra State Governor Chief Wiliie Obiano as its leader and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, BOT.
The party will also use the Special
National Convention to adopt President Goodluck Jonathan as its presidential
candidate, approve and adopt the APGA amended Constitution.
The National Working Committee (NWC)
also suspended the Abia State Chairman of the party, Prince Nnanna Ukaegbu from
APGA with immediate effect for what it termed palpable anti-party activities
and directed its National Vice Chairman South-East, Uchenna Okogbuo who is also
from the state to oversee, coordinate and manage the affairs of the party in
conjunction with the Abia state Executive Committee of the party.
The party while rising from a
meeting of its NWC in Abuja, also considered and approved the outcome of the
Screening Exercise for the National Assembly aspirants in Anambra State.
The National Chairman of APGA, Chief
Victor Umeh and National Secretary Dr. Sani Abdulahi Shinkafi said In a
statement that the NWC resolved that the purported clearance of Prince Nicholas
Ukachukwu by the 5-man National Assembly Screening Appeal Panel be reversed and
his non clearance be restored for the following reasons.
According to them, “The 5-man
National Assembly Screening Appeal Panel became truncated and therefore
improperly constituted when it did not sit as a full panel in accordance with
Article 23(2) of the APGA Electoral Guidelines for primary elections 2014.
