“It is not possible for you to force yourself on APGA,” As Njoku Informs Soludo

Governor Charles Soludo cannot force his will on the All Progressives Grand Alliance in Anambra, according to APGA National Chairman Edozie Njoku, amid the turmoil inside the organization.

Speaking on Politics Today on Channels Television, Njoku asserted that Soludo should bend to gain power because the party is not superior to him.

“I’ve bent down a lot, visited Gov. Soludo, and held talks with him. The most crucial thing is to always act morally and to avoid trying to force your will on others,” he stated.

“We are the party, and the party is supreme, so maybe Soludo should bite the bit and let us hear each other.”

Njoku refuted reports during the program that he intended to thwart the governor’s bid for a second term in 2025.

The APGA chairman expressed concern that the division between him and Soludo may impact the party’s performance in the Anambra State gubernatorial race in the following year.

He clarified that he had no ill will toward the governor, characterizing him as someone he can throw around.

“I am too large to fit inside your words. Why would I want to be against Soludo in any way? Soludo dislikes me mainly because I’m a man with a distinct opinion.

“Governor Soludo has installed the SA he has been searching for. He continued, “APGA has stated that it will not occur; APGA needs competent executives.

A leadership dispute has arisen inside the party as Njoku and Sylvester Ezeokenwa both assert their position as APGA Chairman.

Following an elective convention in Awka, Anambra state, Ezeokenwa was chosen as the APGA Chairman in May 2023.

Nonetheless, Edozie Njoku was acknowledged by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the APGA’s national chair in July 2024. The electoral board stated that it was acting pursuant to a court injunction.
