APGA Ready To Integrate Okorie-Spokesman

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) last Thursday in Abuja expressed its readiness to “properly” integrate Mr Chekwas Okorie, former National Chairman of the party.

Okorie had earlier returned the original certificate of registration of the party to INEC, complying with the Supreme Court ruling which recognised Chief Victor Umeh as the substantive national chairman of the party.

Chief Ifeanacho Oguejofor, the party’s National Director of Publicity, told The Tide that the party would continue to work and integrate Okorie if he was ready to work with APGA.

Oguejofor, however, noted that Okorie should have returned the certificate to the APGA leadership rather than INEC.

He also commended the former leader for abiding by the judgment of the Supreme Court that invalidated his leadership as well as directing him to return the party’s certificate to the substantive leadership.

The APGA spokesman urged the former leader to join the Umeh leadership to achieve the desired growth for the party.

“I commend our former Chairman for abiding by the court judgment and returning our party’s certificate of registration.

“I think it would have been better if he had returned it to our substantive national Chairman, Chief Victor Umeh.

‘All the same, we are ever ready to integrate him and work with him because he has been our leader.

“I will urge him to join our leadership and contribute eminently to ensure growth and development of the party.
