Chukwuma Umeoji Should Not Carry Arms Against APGA — Umeh 

Raymond Ozoji, Awka

Sen. Victor Umeh, chairman of the reconciliation committee and national outreach of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has admonished Hon. Chukwuma Umeoji not to carry arms against APGA because he was disqualified from the primary election of the party.

Umeh, who said that Umeoji had contested House of Representatives Election under his chairmanship of APGA in 2011 and equally functioned as council chairman of Aguata local government and currently in the green chambers on the platform of APGA, said the fact that he wanted to be governor through APGA and the party decided otherwise would not make him wage war against the party.

Umeh said the reconciliation committee had reached out to Umeoji, imploring him to soft-pedal in his litigation but he seemed to have remained adamant and resolute in exhausting his court processes.

The former Anambra-central Senate representative told journalists in Awka that the party was appealing to him to come back because APGA built him and there was need for the party to go to the election as one big family.

Umeh said, “We have invited him to come. He hasn’t come. Some of his colleagues have come. Hon. Nonso Smart has come. Odera Ozoka has come. The three other aspirants that contested the primaries with Soludo have come. Bianca Ojukwu didn’t contest the primaries but we have met her and she has given her blessings.

“We are hoping that Chukwuma Umeoji who is in court will embrace peace. Though it is common knowledge that we have issues in APGA because the candidate we nominated during our primaries on June 23rd is not the candidate INEC published, as a party we are weathering through those challenges.

“The peace reconciliation and national outreach committee is doing everything to bring all party members together as much as we can to enable us go to the election as one formidable family. The committee is not leaving anybody behind. We are working to let peace reign in our party because November 6 election is must win for APGA.

‘So we want everybody to cooperate with the party and put everything behind. Somebody must offend you; when you are offended, you are entitled to be angry. But after sometime,one has to forgive and move on. We don’t want sabotage in this election. We must work together as one family.”
