The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Media Warriors Forum in Anambra State on Monday denied the alleged plan by incumbent Governor Willie Obiano, and the Governor-elect of the state, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, to defect to the All Progressives Congress.
National Co-ordinator of APGA Media Warriors Forum, Chinedu Obigwe, made the denial during a press briefing held in Awka, the Anambra State capital.
He described the Defection claim in some sections of the media as “a lie from the pit of hell.”
There have been rumors shortly after the November 6, 2021 Governorship election in the state that Governor Obiano and Soludo would join the APC.
The alleged move was said to be one of the conditions given to them by powers that be in Abuja to allow a free and fair gubernatorial election in the state.
However, Obigwe said, “It’s important to say it boldly that the battle Governor Obiano fought on November 6th was a battle for the survival of APGA as the only Igbo party in Nigeria. He fought that battle with all his heart and God gave him victory.”
According to him, “There was never a time Governor Obiano promised anybody that if Soludo wins the election, both of them will join APC.”

“Governor Obiano nurtured a good relationship with President Buhari’s administration for the betterment of Ndi Anambra. The President respects the fact that Obiano is the leader of APGA and accords him that respect.”
