The 2019 Abia central senatorial election candidate, Comrade Chidi Ajaegbu of the All Progressive Grand Alliance Party has accused Sir Chikwe Udensi of the 2019 Governorship election and Barr Chief Ahamdi Nweke of destabilizing the party.
In a statement on Sunday in Aba, Ajaegbu said he was quitting APGA and partisan politics as a result of internal crisis within the party and added that the National Chairman of the Party Chief Victor Oye and his cohorts who allegedly worked against the interest of some candidates of the party during the 2019 elections were returned to office through a controversial convention.
“Our party was destabilized by one Chikwe Udensi and Ahamdi Nweke through the National chairman Oye who were playing the script of their PDP masters in the state so we went into the election weakened”.
He stated that he had joined politics with the intentions of challenging the alleged corrupt status quo which led to the collapse of infrastructure, non-payment of salaries and pensions in Abia state but regretted that some individuals in his party (APGA) worked against that agenda.
He pointed out that he would prefer continuing with the agenda of improving the lives of his constituents through charitable works.
“I could have been better if I had spent the money I spent during the election in building schools and rehabilitating roads within my constituency and the state at large.
“I joined APGA because I thought it would provide an alternative to the People’s Democratic Party in my state, but I found out that the party was hijacked by some disgruntled elements who are the enemies of progress”.
“I can no longer accept a situation whereby our party that won 11 seats in the Abia state House of Assembly in 2015 is now struggling to retain 2 in 2019.
