President Muhammadu Buhari and Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano during the governor\u2019s visit to State House, Abuja\u2026yesterday<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Promises To Strengthen APGA In S\u2019East<\/strong>Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano has dismissed insinuations that he plans to dump the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) and defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), despite his frequent hobnobbing with President Muhammadu Buhari and other members of the APC.<\/p>\n

Dismissing the speculations as unfounded, Obiano, yesterday vowed \u200eto remain a member of the APGA and work to strengthen the party, especially in the Southeast.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. Never! That is totally unfounded. I will never leave APGA. I am the leader and the BoT Chairman of APGA and again by God\u2019s grace, the governor-elect,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
He also downplayed the recent defection of son of the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Emeka (Jr.), to the APC at a rally in the state, saying his decision to leave \u200e\u201dis of no consequence to the party, I am sorry to say.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Continuing, Obiano, who spoke with State House Correspondents after a closed-door meeting with Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, yesterday, said: \u201cMy party is very strong \u200ein the Southeast. That, you will see very soon in the coming elections and from there, we will match on.\u201d<\/p>\n
