Bianca Manipulated APGA To Disqualify Soludo In 2013 —Victor Umeh

It was a moment of truth at the APGA Retreat and Book Lunch held at the Finotel Hotel Awka yesterday.

The Retreat was organised by the APGA leadership for all the party aspirants with a book lunch on the trials and triumphs of the party since 2004.

The review of the book gave the Distinguished senator Victor Umeh who has been at centre of all the crisis in APGA the opportunity to make public some events that happened behind the scenes in APGA.

When Chief Umeh was speaking, he told Prof Charles Soludo who was the chairman of the occasion a shocking intrigues that led to his disqualification in 2013.

Speaking at the retreat, Chief Umeh told the audience that Prof Soludo was disqualified by APGA from contesting the 2013 Anambra state governorship election because Bianca came out from the Aso Villa and told the party leaders that the presidency does not want Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo to fly the party’s flag.

Umeh said this in the presence of Bianca, Soludo, Gov Obiano, Ozonkpu Victor Oye and over 1000 APGA aspirants at the venue.

While Umeh was revealing the role played by Bianca to get Soludo disqualified, the beauty queen interjected and tried to discredit his account but the fearless senator was resolute.

He quickly reminded: “Bianca, you were the one we sent to Villa to find out the position of the presidency on APGA and you came out to inform us that the presidency said, they do not want Soludo to fly our flag.”

At this point Bianca became speechless and the whole hall was quiet as Soludo bent down and shook his head repeatedly.

Senator Umeh therefore said that all the decisions he took as APGA national chairman was for the best interest of the party and not to witch-hunt anyone including Prof Soludo.

Chief Umeh is hereby advised to write a memoir on APGA to enable the party members know who did what against and for the party.

How Gov Obiano saved the situation

The APGA Retreat held yesterday at Finotel Hotel Awka came with so many drama.

Gov Obiano and Ozonkpu Victor Oye saved the day, when APGA aspirants booed Dr Godwin Maduka of Umuchukwu who was the chief launcher of the occasion.

The APGA members at the event booed him for introducing Bianca Ojukwu as the candidate of APGA and “senator” Anambra south senatorial zone.

Trouble began when the audience made of APGA aspirants was being addressed by Dr Godwin Maduka.

The Umuchukwu USA-based billionaire, showed his preference to Iyom Bianca Ojukwu when he introduced the beauty queen as the “senator” Anambra south senatorial zone.

APGA members could not allow him to finish his introduction as the entire hall erupted in shouts of disapproval.

APGA members shouted No, Noo, Nooo, Noooooooo until the National chairman of APGA, Ozonkpu Victor Oye went to him and respectfully took away the microphone from him.

At that juncture, Gov Obiano and Oye were utterly embarrassed by Dr Godwin Maduka’s unguarded utterances.

The National Leader of APGA, Gov Obiano in his speech made it clear and assured all the aspirants that the party will conduct a free and fair primaries.

The National chairman of APGA also reiterated the same position and assured the aspirants that APGA will conduct a credible primaries.

Many APGA members were already asking Dr Godwin Maduka where he held the party primaries to have announced Iyom Bianca the party’s candidate and senator of Anambra south senatorial zone.
