Obigwe made the statement after Governor Chukwuma Soludo clarified that he did not order APGA members to work against Obi.

APGA will work for its candidates, not Peter Obi - Obigwe
Speaking further, Obigwe said it is in the best interest of the APGA faithful to work against Obi in favour of APGA candidates, The Punch reported.
He maintained that APGA has remained committed to working in favour of all its candidates in the elections.
According to him, anybody expecting APGA to work in favour of the former Anambra State governor in this 2023 election is dwelling in “self-deceit and living in fool’s paradise”.
“Our self-acclaimed Saint Peter Obi as the Labour Party presidential candidate has nothing in common with APGA as a party and APGA faithful, because he is now a political enemy.
“Labour Party members will work against APGA candidates in the forthcoming general election and it is also expected of APGA faithful to work against Peter Obi and other Labour Party candidates in the election.
“Anybody expecting APGA faithful to work in favour of Peter Obi in this 2023 election is dwelling in self-deceit and living in fool’s paradise," he said.
Soludo does not need to tell APGA faithful to work against Peter Obi , says Obigwe
The national coordinator of the APGA Media Warriors Forum added that Governor Soludo does not need to tell the APGA faithful to work against Obi "because they already know that it is the right thing for them to do".
“The evil plot of Obi for APGA candidates to suffer bandwagon effect in this 2023 general election will fail.
“It will die a natural death because APGA faithful are committed to working in favour of all APGA candidates in this 2023 general election,” Obigwe added.
