The All Progressives Grand Alliance has appealed to the six lawmakers who defected to the All Progressives Congress to rescind their decision as a mark of honour to the late Dim Emeka Ojukwu and the party.
The state Chairman of the party, Norbert Obi, made the appeal at a press conference in Awka, on Tuesday.
He said, “Recall that on the first day of September 2021, we woke up to the news that six members of the Anambra State House of Assembly, who are members of APGA had decamped to APC
“We received it with mixed feelings and reactions and tongues have been wagging since then.
“The party is at a loss why these honourable members who rode on the back of the party to victory in the House of Assembly elections in 2019 should take such a drastic decision without any reference to the party both at the state and the national levels.
“There is no party in Nigeria today that does not have their own internal wrangling and differences, especially in Anambra State where a governorship election is scheduled for the 6th day of November, 2021.
“It is a known fact that some issues arose out of the party’s primaries but the Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano did not waste time in constituting a peace/reconciliation and national outreach committee headed by no less a personality than distinguished Senator Victor Umeh, a former National Chairman of APGA.
“The committee without wasting time swung into action and has been able to meet with many aggrieved members of the party including the Anambra State House of Assembly members of the party.”
