Obiano Now APGA BOT Chairman And National Leader

   

Following the recent defection of its national leader to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Tuesday appointed Anambra State Governor Willy Obiano as its new national leader and Chairman of Board of Trustees (BOT) just as it approved the guidelines  for the conduct of its primaries to pick candidates for the 2015 elections as released by  the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) last month.

In a statement issued at the end of its meeting Tuesday in Abuja, the NEC unanimously chose Obiano to replace former Governor Peter Obi.

The release, signed by the APGA National Chairman, Victor Umeh and made available to newsmen in Abuja, noted that pursuant to the mandate given on January 18, 2014 by the National Executive Committee to the National Working Committee to fill existing vacancies in the NWC, the NEC also appointed Alexander Amujiogu as the party’s acting Deputy National Secretary .

Umeh noted that  “having regard to the resignation of Chief Peter Obi as the Leader and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of APGA and his subsequent defection to the PDP and the vacancy created thereof in the office of the leader and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, the National Executive Committee unanimously appointed His Excellency, Chief (Dr.) Willie Obiano, the Governor of Anambra State, as the National Leader of our great party and Chairman of the Board of Trustee (BOT).”
