APGA not part of merger with APC – UMEH

National chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Chief
Victor Umeh, has described as laughable the claims by a group that
called itself APGA-APC in Enugu, that APGA is part of the merger of
political parties that formed the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Reacting to the claims through his Special Assistant (Media), Mr. Stan
Okeke, the APGA chairman said that such a group and their members were
the faceless characters being used to create imaginary division in the
party.
He explained that when the merger talks were on among the various
political parties that metamorphosed into APC, their various parties
were led to the merger talks by the leaders of these political
parties.
According to him, "in this case, who led APGA to such merger talks?
Governor Rochas Okorocha joined the group in his personal capacity,
andnot on behalf of APGA."
He described as treacherous and unfounded, the claim by the faceless
group that APGA ever attended any merger talks with anybody, adding
that it was instructive that such a group of disgruntled elements were
hellbent on using the name of APGA to create the impression that the
party was still in crisis."
Umeh warned that people parading themselves as members of APGA,
especially as it's evident that they were being used to propagate a
hiddenagenda, would be resisted with all means within the ambits of
law and order.
On what the group described as politicking with the APGA national
chairman's recent statement on the insertion of APGA logo in some
advertorials by the Lagos state governor, Babatunde Fashola and some
other state governors, he emphasized that he was not ready to bandy
words with a group of faceless men that were irrelevant to the
progress and peace already existing within the party.
