Soludo May Be The Reason APGA Will Lose Anambra — Chief Chekwas Okorie
Chief Chekwas Okorie, the pioneer National Chairman and founder of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), in this interview with CHIBUIKE CHUKWU, speaks on the fast approaching Anambra State governorship election and the chances of Governor Charles Soludo, as well as other national issues. Excerpts
During the interview, Chief Chekwas was asked about his opinion on Governor Charles Soludo’s romance with the All Progressives Congress(APC), especially the presidency which Some people have said it is borne out of panic and desperation for re-election. Chief Chekwas responded
“APGA may lose Anambra State because of Soludo himself. This is because Soludo had the opportunity to make peace in APGA…when the president visited Anambra, it was desperation that made him to announce that the party had endorsed him; in fact, he was the first to endorse President Tinubu for a second time, even before the APC”
“I know Tinubu could not be deceived now because the president is a party man. He knows that it is not the duty of an elected person to endorse anybody on behalf of a party. If a party has taken such a decision, it is the national chairman of the party that should make that type of announcement, not the governor”
The former APGA National Chairman revealed that he had some personal conversation with Soludo before and after Soludo became governor But all that they have discussed did not appeal to Soludo now that he has gotten the party under his control. He further warned that if Soludo keeps gambling with a state like Anambra it will reduce the politically prestige people have for him
“So if he likes, let him go and take up a room in the Villa, the president is determined to go for a second term, and toying, gambling with a state like Anambra will present him as somebody who is not as politically astute as he’s been credited”
