Grand Alliance, Chief Victor Umeh, says he
has forgiven all the "dissidents that had a
hand in the crises that nearly tore the party
apart in recent time".
Umeh stated this in Ogidi, Anambra State
during the party's South-East
stakeholders' meeting.
The APGA chief, who recalled the party's history
and fortune, said he harboured no malice towards
anyone, including Governor Peter Obi and his
uncle, Chief Sylvester Nwobu-Alor that
spearheaded the move to remove him from office.
He however noted that no member of the party,
especially those holding public offices would be
allowed again to grow bigger than the party.
According to him, Obi committed "political
abomination" against the spirit and vision of the
founding fathers of the party by sowing seed of
discord in the party.
He, therefore, urged every party member to return
for the common good.
Umeh said he was willing to work with the party
leaders that abandoned him to join the Obi-led
faction.
He appealed to the governor and his supporters to
return to the party's mainstream as he had only
nine months to leave as governor.
Umeh added, "The governor should leave a good
legacy in the party. He should not see himself as
the party's champion or its alter ego. Let us get back
together. Let all this confusion stop.
"I refuse to accept or recognise the purported
expulsion of anyone, or the removal of any of the
elected executives."
On 2014 governorship poll in Anambra State, Umeh
said the crisis in the party would not affect its
chances to retain the state.
He said, "We will not relent. We are going to retain
the governorship seat. From the massive turnout
today, you can see the actual people who staked
their all to make Obi governor twice."
