Imo APGA: Aggrieved Guber Aspirants Weigh Options

Following the controversy that trailed the outcome of the governorship primary in the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA in Imo State, aggrieved aspirants who lost out in the vicious power play that rocked APGA governorship primary have thrown many options for them.

While a report said the aspirants may leave APGA enmasse for a “New APGA”, concerns were raised on the workability of such idea since registering such a party with such a name with the Independent National Electoral Commission,INEC may be time bad.

Indications that all the aspirants may back another candidate is also cloudy just as one of the aspirants, Hon Uche Onyeagocha has declared his support for the PDP governorship candidate, Hon.Emeka Ihedioha. He however denied reports on the social media that he has not he has quit APGA for the PDP which makes his support for Ihedioha not total.

In a statement signed by Onyeagocha’s media aide, Mac Enwerem, he said “We are aware that the buildup to the rumour is the recent courtesy visit paid on Hon Onyeagucha by the PDP governorship candidate in the state, Hon Emeka Ihedioha . In that visit, Hon Onyeagucha and Hon Emeka Ihedioha only interacted like brothers. There was never a time in the meeting or after the meeting Hon Onyeagucha said he has joined or planning to join PDP”.

It was also gathered that the angry aspirants issued an ultimatum to the national leadership of APGA to make a formal pronouncement on its failure to hold its primary and open up on what it termed “kangaroo endorsement” of Senator Ifeanyi Araraume as the party’s flagbearer.

Also, we stumbled on reports that some of the aspirants will switch their support to other governorship candidates in other political parties.

It was observed that most of the aspirants are reaching out to pro Owerri Zone governorship candidateswho have clinched the governorship ticket in other political parties.

At the moment, Owerri Zone have two governorship candidates, Hon.Emeka Ihedioha and Hon.Tony Nwulu of the PDP and UPP respectively.

The two candidates have become the beautiful bride in aftermath of the chaotic situation that rocked the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA governorship primary.
