The All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) , Abia state chapter, has described as misguided the attacks on Gov. Owelle Rochas Okorocha by the party’s governorship candidate in the state, Chief Reagan Ufomba.
The party’s state publicity secretary, Senior Apostle Kingsley Maduakor stated this in a statement made available to newsmen. He maintained that Ufomba’s allegations against the Imo state chief executive are baseless and an attempt to rubbish the party and advance the goals of his paymasters after his dismal performance in the last general elections.
“While it is obvious that Chief Ufomba, a co fusionist par excellence is at again as was the case with his sojourn in the Peoples Democratic Party and has been recruited and is on a mission to create tension and friction in the party by his unfounded allegation against Owelle Rochas Okorocha of meddling in
the affairs of APGA Abia state.
“His resort to his time worn antics of employing pseudo names in launching attacks and his choice of an amorphous “Pastor Philips” in advancing this self mocking mischief of his in the guise of a press release is both stale and un-amusing,” the statement read in part.
The party says it views the continuous hosting of what it termed illegal meetings by Ufomba in his private house and office as an act of drowning man abandoned by close associates, who after seeing his anti democratic antecedents had since returned to the PDP form where they came from with him.
“We are amused at Chief Ufomba’s resort to fabrication and issuance of false press release in the name of APGA Abia state with the intention of misleading and confusing members of the public.”
The party further urged Okorocha not to allow the enemies of progress to distract him from focusing on his developmental strides in Imo state, adding that the public should ignore Ufomba whom it describes as an agent of destabilization in the party.
