The crisis
rocking All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) Anambra State has taken a new
dimension with Governor Peter Obi and embattled National Chairman of the party,
Sir Victor Umeh at each other’s throat on who succeeds
Obi as Governor of the State in 2014.
Governor Obi who is desperate to install his protégé as his successor has
promised to compensate Victor Umeh if given the chance to solely nominate the
governorship aspirant for the forthcoming gubernatorial election in the state.
Sir Umeh has demanded the sum of Six billion naira as compensation for expenses
and damages incurred during the libel suit against the party with Governor Obi
offering to pay three billion naira.
A member of Obi’s kitchen cabinet who confided with newsmen said he was highly
disappointed by the two chieftains for such selfishness. He noted that a time
the state is facing financial challenges, his boss; Governor Obi is negotiating
to pay a whopping sum of three billion naira to an individual who has not
rendered any service to the state.
Party stalwarts and followers are sad at this development noting that the party
is bigger and superior to the two individuals.
