Following your several enquiries on the the status of the
governorship case filed by our party APGA, and her Candidate in the last
governorship election, Dr. Alex Otti OFR, especially where it concerns the
alleged move by some individuals to withdraw our party APGA from the case, we
deem it most appropriate and timely to use this medium and offer the necessary
answers and explanations to your numerous questions, while clearing any doubts
that may have remained unresolved.

Recall that after the announcement of the
corruption-infested governorship election in which INEC fraudulently declared
PDP's Okezie Ikpeazu as the winner, to the shock and bewilderment of millions
of suffering Abians, we chose the honourable path, and filed a suit at the Abia
governorship Tribunal sitting in Umuahia.

While we would not want to discuss anything that might
appear sub-judice since the case is already at the Tribunal, we would, however,
gladly inform you that our team of eminent lawyers presented a watertight case,
ladened with overwhelming facts of evidence to prove that the election was a
charade and a mockery of INEC and our Electoral guidelines, and thus should not
be allowed to stand.

been progressing very well.

During the last APGA governorship primaries, APGA got to her
lowest point since its formation as a political party, due to the criminal
extortion and demeaning corruption committed by the former national leadership
led by the former National Chairman, Chief Victor Oye.

These atrocities affected the party at all levels,
especially in Abia, Imo and Anambra where passionate party members and
aspirants were not only extorted and defrauded, but were unjustly shortchanged
and humiliated.

You may have repeatedly heard some people describe it as a

to.

As we speak, the former National Chairman, Chief Victor Oye
has remained a regular guest of the EFCC and the courts, as cases of fraud and
criminal extortions hang on his neck. These are just suits and petitions from
men who have the capacity, the means and the desire to seek redress.

In our own state of Abia, it took a very long and fierce
battle by our governorship candidate Dr. Alex Otti and other
Progressives, as well as the grace of God to stop their high profile
arrangement to sell the governorship ticket to an agent of Abia state government/PDP,
against Otti who has supported the party since 2014, and who was undisputedly
the choice of the masses.

Gentlemen of the Press, the climax of this audacity of
criminality, was the daring assault by the former national chairman and his
cohorts to attempt to return themselves back to power as officers of the party.
An action we considered grossly insensitive and disrespectful, and thus decided
not to allow it.

Realising that he had crashed irredeemably, having left
legacies of greed, theft, abuse, extortion, and general corruption, he decided
to unleash part of the ill gotten resources on hungry party officials at the
state levels in his unpopular bid to bully his way through to an undeserved
second term.

Sadly, Abia happens to be one of the states where he assured
state and LGA officers, including the grossly incompetent ones that he was
going to return all of them so that they could in turn return him as Chairman.

Sensing that such a self serving project was unpopular, they
hurriedly pencilled down some illustrious and respected leaders of the party
especially in Abia, Imo and Anambra for verbal abuse and humiliation.

In the case of Dr. Alex Otti, they childishly accused him of
being interested in running for the Office of National Chairman, and in their
panic, they deployed some renegades who announced that Otti has been suspended
from the party, but when they didn't get the cheap attention they were seeking,
they activated the latest move, which is to attempt the withdrawal of APGA from
the governorship petition.

In a leaked conversation involving the leaders of the renegades in Abia, they discussed how they were going to collect money from the PDP led Abia state government for the hatchet job who they described as the beneficiaries of this action, and we believe that it was after the necessary financial settlement, that they filed their frivolous suit in court seeking the withdrawal of APGA from the governorship case. ( I will circulate details of their leaked chat shortly for proof)

To show that their destructive bond with the enemies of APGA
is still strong, they hired a well known PDP man and agent of the state
government as their lawyer.

The said lawyer was the PDP's LGA agent in the governorship
election and appeared as a witness for PDP, and against APGA in the ongoing
governorship case. We thought they could do better!.

So gentlemen of the Press, for want of time, we would have
to summarise, but be humbly assured that we are making progress as most of you
would wish, and our resolve to reclaim our state from the hands of her enemies,
and redeem our people, remains unshaken, and not even those who have vowed to
merchandise and destroy our party, APGA, would succeed in derailing our vision
and objective.

It would have been a bit honorable for these tested and
distrusted party leaders to quit the party, or remorsefully seek forgiveness
after their inglorious betrayal of our people, but having chosen to spit on the
grave of our legendary leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, by seeking to
destroy APGA for personal economic gains, we have no choice but to stand up to
the challenge and defeat them, for the good of our people.

Our message to the Ekperima team is that, never will APGA
serve as an Unholy Temple for such a Scandalous Bazaar that ran contrary to all
that APGA stands for as a progressive party.
