Announcing this on Thursday, APGA National Stakeholders Forum, a-decision making body of the party, equally and unanimously disassociates itself from Okwu’s reconciliatory move.

That is because, according to them, the sacked Okwu failed to consult the relevant stakeholders since his actions are self-serving.

This is even as they noted that they did not and will never follow Okwu to his new camp.

The Forum, however, reaffirm their unalloyed support and confidence to its National Leader, Chief Hon. Sylvester Nwobu-Alor.

They also pledged support for the 2013 Anambra State Governorship candidate of the party, Chief Dr. Chike Obidigbo for their sincere commitments towards the unity and overall interest of APGA.

They also noted that any reconciliatory effort without their blessings will not yield any positive result.

The APGA National Stakeholders Forum arrived at this decision in a communiqué written and signed by 12 out of its others distinguished members:

– Sadeeq I. Masalla, Chairman; 

– Comrade Tony Edochie;

– High Chief Uche Njoku;

– Comrade Opara Ferguson;

– Ohamohi C.C; 

– Sunday Nwachukwu; 

– Okuli Jude Ejike; 

– Hon. E.A. Ashonnbi; 

– Chief Dickson Ogu; 

– Hon. Barr. E.S Chijioke;

– Chief Sunday Obasahon; and,

– Prince Gbenda Ateni.

It read in part: 

“Sequel to Daily Sun’s publication of Tuesday the 26th day of April, 2016 on the purported reconciliatory move by Chief Maxi Okwu and Dr Ike Oye…

“The APGA National Stakeholders Forum led by Chief Hon. Sylvester Nwobu-Alor and the governorship aspirant, Chief Dr. Chike Obidigbo vehemently refute the reconciliatory move in its entirety.
