Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State will receive sanction from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) over alleged anti-party activities, News About Nigeria reports.
The party’s Board of Trustees (BoT) Chairman, Chief Dr. Chekwas Okorie, disclosed this in Abuja on Wednesday.
He noted that the decision is coming after Soludo refused to acknowledge Chief Edozie Njoku as APGA’s National Chairman, despite Supreme Court and Court of Appeal judgements affirming Njoku’s position.
According to him, Soludo’s actions have consistently undermined APGA’s interests and values, adding that the party’s disciplinary machinery will be activated against those guilty of anti-party activities.
He stated, “APGA will outlive all of us, including Prof. Chukwuma Soludo. Nobody born of a woman can prevent APGA from recovering its rightful place in Nigeria’s political space as the only political party in Nigeria anchored on genuine progressive ideology. Nobody born of a woman can be an undertaker to bury APGA, as Prof. Soludo boasted in his tantrums and hallucinations.
“Highly respected and very senior clergymen in Anambra State, traditional rulers, association of town union presidents-general, several Anambra State businesses, and intellectual elite have at various times appealed to Governor Soludo to cease his unprovoked destabilising war against the survival of the Party that provided him with the singular opportunity to realise his long-elusive lifetime desire to become the governor of Anambra State after two previous failed attempts.
“In spite of all entreaties to Gov. Soludo to give peace a chance to allow APGA to live out its full potential and promise, he remained recalcitrant and carried on like a bull in the China shop. Gov. Soludo and his goons refused to accept the finality of the Supreme Court judgement.
“It has become abundantly clear to all discerning Nigerians that Gov. Soludo is determined, as he threatened, to sacrifice APGA rather than submit to Chief Edozie Njoku as the National Chairman of our great party. I advise the National Working Committee (NWC) of APGA to activate without delay the party’s disciplinary machinery to sanction all those who may be found guilty of anti-party activities. I strongly advise that the party’s disciplinary measures must include, but not limited to, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo.
“The sanctity of the supremacy of the political party in party democracies all over the world must be sustained and maintained.”
