A gubernatorial aspirant in the Anambra State governorship election coming up in November 2017, Dr Elo Afoka has thrown his weight behind Justice J.B Ozoemena of Enugu High Court.

Justice Ozoemena, it could be recalled, had authenticated the national chairmanship of Ochudo Martin Agbaso.

He also issued the Independent National Electoral Commission [INEC] Mandamus order to abstain from disobeying his order.

In a statement issued on Thursday and titled “The Judgement of Justice J.B Ozoemena of Enugu High Court On Authentic APGA Leadership: Protests, Contempt of Court and The Real Enemies of Our Democracy in Anambra State, Dr. Afoka lambasted some elements rejecting the order.

He said that those resisting the judgment of Justice Ozoemena are either ignorant or outright enemies of his beloved party.

He, therefore, warned them to desist from such and called on the police and INEC order to implement the ruling to the letter.

See below the full copy of the statement:

I have carefully watched for 24 hours the insipid charade of some enemies of the state in rising against the judgement of Justice Ozoemena on the Leadership questions of our great Party APGA.

I have keenly followed the demonstrations punctuated with Placards and adorned by hired old men and women in the garb of APGA youths blackmailing and insulting a Learned Judge to the extent of calling him an “Untrained Trader”.

I have cautiously read through the aspersions cast on the National Chairman of our Great Party Ochudo Martin Agbaso, a proud, ebullient and resourceful son of Emekuku in Igbo Hinterland of Imo State by yet upcoming young men and supposed party stakeholders in Anambra State.

It is pertinent to remind these rising men on mask that Chief Ochudo Martin Agbaso represents a revolutionary and renaissance image of our great party APGA.

It is incumbent on me to remind every true APGAN that at the age of 32 years, Chief Martin Agbaso has become a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and has completely become the Platonian ” Deus Ortesius ” in Imo Politics.

Our New National Chairman signifies a Macrocosmic image of APGA. He is the foundation for a rejuvenation of the APGA bu nke anyi Ideology across the East and across the Country!

Furthermore, may I consciously advice folks who are on a dead end mission of attacking Justice Ozoemena in Placards to desist from such rascality and opaque showcase of their ignorance of the Law.

The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and those of our party APGA are abundantly clear on how to proceed in a democratic setting.

The Charade at the Streets of Awka, disturbing and confusing Anambrarians and party men who are relishing the judgement of Justice Ozoemena must stop forthwith less we make ridicule of our great party APGA in the eyes of Opposition Political Parties standing ” mouths agape and hands akimbo” to pounce on our self-inflicted nuisance!

I call on the Institution of government, the police and INEC to study Justice J Ozoemena judgement and strictly follow the order of the Learned Court stated therein!

This is no time for Political gangsterism but a time to quickly consolidate and rally a renaissance for the Victory of our Party at the Pools come November 18th, 2017!

I have studied the Judgement of Justice Ozoemena and I completely agree “in totalita” with his conclusions and order of Mandamus!

As a Stakeholder in our party and a believer that APGA will never die in the very wishes of Ikemba Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, I call on true and not ” kinship or clannish ” stakeholders of our great party APGA to obey the judgement of the court and key into the Leadership of Chief Martin Agbaso!

I am a staunch believer that APGA Bu Nke Anyi! I am a strong believer in ‘ Onye Aghana Nwanne ya “!

I am a Believer that APGA will win massively and with landslide Victory in the Coming November 18th, 2017! [End]

IMO APGA DISOWNS AGBASO

In a related development, the Imo State Chairman of APGA, Peter Ezeobi has distanced the state chapter of the party from judgment of the Enugu State High Court which declared Chief Martins Agbaso as the national chairman of the party.

Ezeobi said he (Agbaso) was not a member of the party, having earlier defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and is yet to officially return to the party.

The Imo State APGA chairman who stated this yesterday in Owerri, while reacting to the judgment of the court said Victor Oye remains the only authentic national chairman of APGA.

According to him, Chief Agbaso was a member of the party until he left the party for PDP in 2015 where he has contested for the gubernatorial primaries of the party.

He said since he left, there was no record that he had officially returned.

“It was a rude shock for the Imo State branch of APGA to hear in the news that a court of competent reckoning in this country announced his name as the national chairman of a party he is no longer a member,’’ he said.

The APGA chairman said there was the need for the judiciary to support democracy in the country to grow rather than promote acts that could cause disharmony.

He said the state chapter of the party was behind the Victor Oye-led national leadership of APGA and supports the move by the party to challenge the judgment that announced Agbaso as chairman.
