Amid the crisis rocking the All Progressives Grand Alliance in Anambra, APGA National Chairman, Edozie Njoku, says Governor Charles Soludo cannot impose himself on the party.
Speaking on Wednesday, Njoku said Soludo is not greater than the party and should stoop to conquer.
“I have stooped a lot, I have gone to him (Gov Soludo), I have had meetings with him. The important thing is doing the right thing at all times and not thinking you can impose yourself on the party,” he said.
“Soludo might need to bite the bit let us hear each other because we are the party and the party is supreme.”
During the show, Njoku dismissed rumours that he planned to scuttle the second term ambition of the governor in 2025.
The APGA chairman said the rift between him and Soludo might affect the party’s fortunes in next year’s governorship election In Anambra State.
He explained that he doesn’t have any grudge against the governor who he described as someone he can toss around.
“I am too big for what you are saying. Why should I have anything against Soludo? The only thing Soludo doesn’t like is that I am a man who has my own mind.
“Governor Soludo is looking for an SA who is has and now installed him. APGA has said it will not happen, APGA must have good executives,” he added.
The party is embroiled in a leadership crisis as both Sylvester Ezeokenwa and Njoku are claiming to be the APGA Chairman.
Ezeokenwa was elected as APGA Chairman in May 2023 after an elective convention was held in Awka, Anambra state.
However, in July 2024, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) recognised Edozie Njoku as the national chair of APGA. The electoral body said it relied on a court order to do so.
