This was only achieved due to the credible leadership of the party in the state led by Barrister Sir Peter Ezeobi which is poised towards credible, transparent, free and fair primaries on a level play ground for all the aspirants in the state, and of course, the direction of the National leadership led by Ozomkpu Dr Victor Ike Oye that has always preached internal democracy within the various hierarchy of our great party, APGA\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAPGA is the only hope of Ndi Imo state for a positive change come 2019 and would not take any chances to any undemocratic disposition from any individual or media outfit\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, some media Houses, mostly these local ones in Imo state thrive by fabricating stories in the name of news just to hoodwink the credulous public, as such stories should be repudiated\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do hereby draw to your rapt attention to the fact that such magnitude endorsement has no known venue, date and names of aspirants who participated in the purported endorsement. These evidently confirm the fallacious nature of the purported nature of the said endorsement\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The party however called on interested aspirants, investors and sponsors to proceed without fear, adding unequivocally that APGA is the only platform where true democracy is assured in Nigeria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The All Progressives Grand Alliance
