The
Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has blamed the two
governors of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Governors Peter
Obi of Anambra State and Owelle Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, for the
latest crisis rocking the party.
Secretary General of CNPP, Chief
Willy Ezugwu, told reporters yesterday in Abuja that while there has
been disagreements among stakeholders of the party over bid by Governor
Okorocha to drag the party into the merger bid of opposition parties,
Governor Obi has been accused of facilitating last Friday’s sack of
Chief Victor Umeh as national chairman of APGA by an Enugu High Court.
Ezugwu said it was unfortunate that
the power tussle in the party has been elevated to a point of
ruthlessness which could lead to the disintegration of APGA if care is
not taken.
He said, “There is nowhere in any
party’s constitution that the governor takes decision by himself without
recourse to the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), National
Executive Committee (NEC) and leaders of the party. Obi has been doing
this. He has created factions in APGA and is responsible for its
infiltration and the leadership crisis currently rocking the party. I
dare say he is doing this for the PDP and this is sad.”
On the merger move on behalf of the
party by Governor Okorocha, Ezugwu said Okorocha was on his own as
selfish interest was the underlining motive for his action.
