APGA GIVE SENATOR ENYINNAYA ABARIBE 24 HOURS TO CLEAR AIR OVER ALLEGED FRATERNITY ADC

‎The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Abia State Chapter, has
given Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe representing Abia South, 24 hours to
clear air over his alleged fraternity with the coalition African Democratic
Congress, ADC, or face sanctions.
‎
‎APGA in a statement after its caucus meeting in Umuahia on Tuesday
night, told the former Senate Minority Leader that nobody would belong
to two political parties at the same time, and demanded him to declare
his stand.
‎
‎APGA accused Senator Abaribe of abandoning the party and treating its
leadership with disdain after using the party’s platform to secure a fifth
term at the red chamber.
‎
‎The statement signed by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Chukwuemeka
Nwokoro, said that Senator Abaribe held meetings on August 18, and
September 23 respectively at his event centre in Aba where he allegedly
promoted ADC instead of APGA, and challenged him to personally
confirm or deny his rumoured defection to ADC.
‎
‎But in a swift reaction, Abaribe’s media aide, Uchenna Awom, said the
party knew how to access the Senator as its leader in the state, and
should stop dwelling on rumours.
‎
‎He said it was unfair for the party to issue ultimatum to the Senator
based on unverified rumour without hearing from him, and advised them
to stop acting on subterfuge.
