APGA chair flays Oyegun over anti-Igbo comment

 

The National Chairman of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Dr Vic­tor Oye, has cautioned Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, national chairman of All Progressive Congress (APC), not to drag himself into a matter that would smear his integrity and bring him into collision with the Igbos.
Dr. Oye was reacting to a state­ment credited to the APC national chairman, where he was quoted to have said that the Igbos made a huge mistake by not voting APC in the last presidential election, and that was the reason they were excluded from strategic positions.
Oye also frowned at Odigie Oyegun’s description of APGA, as a dead party in Anambra State, because a faction of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Anambra defected to APC.
He said: “ How can APGA be dead in Anambra when it has 29 out of 30 seats in the state House of Assembly, two seats in the House of Representatives and the governorship of the state, as well as, chairmen with their counsel­ors in the 24 local governments of the states.”
He advised the APC boss to pay more attention to the hercu­lean tasks facing his party to de­liver on its electioneering prom­ises instead of dissipating energy on vanities.
