PEACE AT LAST FOR APGA: A MESSAGE OF RESOUNDING CONGRATULATIONS TO CHIEF EDOZIE NJOKU, (ONWA IBEKU)

May I extend my warm felicitations and congratulations to you, Chief Edozie Njoku, on your court victories and recent official recognition as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.

I have known you for decades, as a good and committed member of APGA, indeed, you are one of it’s original members and pioneer National Vice Chairman, South East. I have also always known you, to be a tenacious fighter, and all of these, you have once again proven. I salute your courage, sir.

In the days ahead, I look forward to the demonstration of your full commitment to the unity and growth of APGA, and I have no doubt that you have all the accoutrements necessary to move the Party to greater heights, based on the ideals upon which she was birthed.

I hereby, call on all APGA faithful, the past leadership, aggrieved members, former members, current members and all who still believe in the original spirit of APGA and in the leadership and vision of my late father, DIM Chukwuemeka Odumegwu – Ojukwu, Ezeigbo Gburugburu, Ikemba Nnewi, to come and join hands with Chief Edozie Njoku, the National Chairman of our beloved Party APGA, (who has extended a sincere olive branch to all detractors, and a welcome mat to all comers) and his entire leadership team. There is much work to do, but with all hands on deck, we will achieve greater heights than even that imagined by our founding members. Once again, congratulations and be assured of my confidence and support, even as I look forward to your programmes geared at positioning APGA as a true national Party in the spirit of “My brothers’ keeper”.

Bravo, my brother!

Chief (Hon.) Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu
