Warning members of the party executives against attending the meeting, Imam said the attention of the party was drawn to the gathering convoked by the governor under the leadership of Victor Oye.

Imam clearly states that while the governor has the right to call for a such meeting for stakeholders of the party at any time, it is important to note that such gathering can only take place with approval from the national chairman of APGA, Edozie Njoku.

His words:

"As long as such a meeting does not enjoy the approval of the national chairman of APGA and the National Working Committee (NWC), it shows that Governor Soludo might be knowingly or unknowingly implanting division in the party, at this critical stage of the coming elections. This cannot be good for our election fortunes come 2023.

"We wish to advise all candidates and stakeholders of our great party to keep a distance from such a gathering, bearing in mind that there will soon be a rectification of all candidates at INEC. Any candidate that ignores this warning will contend with the wrath of the party."

The governor should do the right thing

Further speaking on the planned meeting, Imam urged Governor Soludo to toe the right path by respecting the decision of the Supreme Court which recognised Njoku as the authentic national chairman of APGA.

Imam said:

"We plead with Governor Soludo to endeavour to respect the decision of the Supreme Court which favoured Chief Edozie Njoku as the authentic national chairman of the party."
