Anambra: Group seeks to end Crisis

Anambra Youth Solidarity Movement has charged contending parties in the protracted crises rocking the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to sheath their swords. It charged party chieftains to obey court judgement, as a way forward in charting a new course for the party.

According to the coordinator of the movement, John Maduekwe, continued survival of the party was more important than personal interests of the party, saying that who loves the party should not resort to illegal means to achieve selfish interests but should make necessary sacrifices for the party to thrive.

While commenting on the victory of APGA in the recent Anambra election, Maduekwe said: “APGA’s recent landslide victory in Anambra State that translated in the inauguration of Chief Willie Obiano, as the Governor of Anambra State, was essentially made possible through the super sterling and glaring performance of Mr. Peter Obi. Evidently, throughout the electioneering campaigns it was the face of Obi that was affecting and attracting the electorate.”

In the light of these developments, the group said party members should obey court orders in resolving all disputes instead of attacking judicial officers on the pages of newspapers for dutifully discharging their duties, adding that the National Judicial Council (NJC) had the onerous responsibility to reprimand or sanction erring judges and not a litigant in a dispute.

Maduekwe commended Mr. Obi for remaining in APGA despite every calculation by political pundits, who had predicted his decampment to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“Rather, Peter Obi has continually taken APGA from strength to strength as evidenced by the recent landslide victory of the party in the gubernatorial contest in Anambra State’ he said. “On the part of Chief Nwobu Alor, he is still agile, vibrant and cherished by his numerous supporters, as a matter of fact he still calls the shot from his office and adds premium and power to the APGA government of the day.”

He also commended Governor Obiano, saying it was also evident that judging with Chief Obiano’s actions so far, Anambra State was poised to further boost its lost glory that Obi had reclaimed from those who cared less about the people’s well being.
