FCT, Abuja – The chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Sly Ezeokenwa, has said Bianca Ojukwu remains a member of the party despite her appointment as a minister by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Bianca Ojukwu, the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwuâs widow, a member of APGA, was appointed as the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs when Tinubu reshuffled his cabinet in October 2024.
Speaking on Channels Televisionâs Politics Today on Wednesday, November 27, Ezeokenwa, confirmed that Bianca Ojukwu has not left APGA.
The APGA chairman noted that the party granted Ojukwu permission to take up the ministerial assignment.
He stated that what the president did was what he has always advocated which is for members of opposition parties to be given opportunity to serve in Tinubuâs government.
The APGA leader maintained that Ojukwuâs appointment as a minister is a plus for the opposition party which according to him is ready to be part of an inclusive government.
