Breaking News: Catholic Bishop Hilary Okeke of Nnewi diocese candidate Sir Norbert Obi emerges Anambra state APGA Chairman

www.odogwublog.com reports that Sir Nobert Onyedum Obi has emerged the new Chairman of All
Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). Obi was the candidate of Bishop Hillary Okeke of the Catholic diocese of Nnewi where he was presented to former Governor Peter Obi as the Bishop’s nominee for appointment into political position.
He served and was represented and even when Governor Obiano came on board he was represented by Okeke having served him diligently in laity.
Before the state congress, it was in the news that Obi is the preferred candidate of Governor Willie Obiano and therefore others should bury their ambition. Some did a little noise but www.odogwublog.com knows Obi will carry the day because he has no further ambition and would be a rallying point as a great grandfather. He does not need more troubles than he already had.
Details of the congress later…………………
