Goodluck_jonathan3 APGA condemns plot to set Jonathan, Obiano, Umeh, Nwankwo on warpath

BY OUR REPORTER ON NOVEMBER 17, 2014

Ahead of the 2015 general elections in the country, a group, Anaocha- Dunukofia-Njikoka Peo­ple Forum, has accused a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart of alleged plot to set Presi­dent Goodluck Jona­than, Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State, Sir Victor Umeh and Mr. Ferdinand Doz­ie Nwankwo, on the war­path. The group, in a state­ment signed by its Nation­al Coordinator, Modestus Ubajiaku and the Secre­tary, Maduabuchi Nwo­koye, accused the PDP stalwart of spreading ma­licious stories against the trio in a bid to truncate the National Assembly’s am­bitions of Nwankwo and Sir Umeh. It alleged that some people masquerading as presidential appointees in Aso Rock were bent on creating a rift between the president and Obiano and ultimately makes the state ungovernable. According to the group, the desperadoes, it de­scribed as enemies of de­mocracy and good gov­ernance, had alleged that Nwankwo had been con­vening meetings for the Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi and Governor Obiano against President Jonathan. Against this backdrop, the organization stated categorically that there was no such plot against President Jonathan and urged him to discounte­nance the allegations, say­ing they were unfounded and smacked of giving a dog a bad name in order to hang it. It pointed that Nwank­wo was a card-carrying member of APGA and had obtained the party nomi­nation form to contest for the Federal House of Rep­resentatives seat for Ana­ocha-Dunukofia-Njikoka Constituency. Also, it noted that APGA, as a party, had endorsed Jonathan as its presidential candidate in the 2015 general elections, and as such, Nwankwo, being a loyal party mem­ber, could not be involved in anti-party activities.
