Chief Nyerere Anyim, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate for Abia South Senatorial Zone in the 2011 elections, says the party will emerge stronger than ever from its current crisis.
Anyim told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Aba, Abia on Wednesday people who wished the party dead would be disappointed. “People want to use the crisis to pull down APGA but they don’t know that they are strengthening the party.
They are making it stronger,’’ he said.
The APGA chieftain said the party’s strength had grown over the years in Abia and indeed the country. Anyim identified Abia as one of the states the party was working hard to win in the 2015 general elections in addition to Anambra and Imo.
“If the last elections were free and fair, APGA could have won elections in Abia but our strategies would work in 2015,’’ he said. Anyim explained that due process was being followed to resolve the crisis that engulfed the party at the national level.
“The due process is enshrined in our constitution. You don’t just stand up and say that you want to remove the party leadership. There must be due process,” Anyim said. Anyim’s position followed the vote of confidence on the National Chairman of the party, Chief Victor Umeh, by the leadership of the party in Abia. (NAN)
