And this he has started doing lately again because the Anambra election is coming up next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe likes hobnobbing with one failed APGA candidate to another, promising them tickets. Someone has given them an assignment to go and create confusion in the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is someone who never participated in any APGA convention anywhere, yet he\u2019s claiming the position of the national chairman of the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe shall not fold our hands and leave him to destroy APGA and use the party as his meal ticket.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou should go and look for what to do and leave APGA alone. Enough of people using Njoku to form APGA faction, because APGA is bonded from wards, local governments to states and national executives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
