He claimed that Governor Soludo’s actions since taking office have been aimed at destabilizing the party and disregarding legal rulings.
Okorie made these allegations on Tuesday, July 16, in Abuja during a press briefing about the ongoing crisis within APGA.
Despite the Supreme Court’s judgment affirming Chief Edozie Njoku as the legitimate national chairman of APGA and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) recently recognizing Njoku as such, Soludo has refused to acknowledge him, as reported by Vanguard.
He said:
Okorie disclosed that Soludo had told him he would use his gubernatorial powers to prevent Njoku from assuming the chairmanship, TheCable reported.
He even threatened to resign from APGA and dismantle the party if he failed.
His words:
Okorie strongly opposed Soludo’s threats, asserting that only God could determine APGA’s destiny.
Despite their conflict, Okorie and Njoku have extended an olive branch to Soludo to achieve peace within the party.
He mentioned that numerous prominent leaders nationwide have also appealed to Soludo, identifying him as the main obstacle to reconciliation within APGA, but he has remained unyielding.
His words:
In another development, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Prof. Charles Soludo, governor of Anambra, has sacked all the state’s 21 local government transition chairmen.
Soludo asked the sacked chairmen to hand over the affairs of the councils to the heads of local government administrations (HLGAs).
