POLITICS DIGEST- National coordinator, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Media Warriors Forum, Evang. Chinedu Obigwe has counseled Chukwuma Umeoji to accept the olive branch extended to him and his supporters by the party reconciliation committee and work with Soludo for the party’s victory in the November 6 guber election.
Obigwe in a statement issued in Awka on Saturday described the latest INEC action of publishing the names of Soludo and Ibezim his deputy as the rightful candidates of APGA for the November 6th election as “no victor, no vanquished” noting that APGA is one and large family ready to accommodate all.
