He spoke against the background of claims by the Anambra state government that the APC procured the Jigawa state high court judgment that excluded Prof. Chukwuma Soludo from the list of candidates accepted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the November 6 governorship poll in the state.

The Cable had reported that the Anambra state commissioner for information and public enlightenment, Don Adinuba, disclosed that findings by the government revealed that the state chapter of the APC secured the controversial high ourt judgment for the APGA faction led by Chief Jude Okeke.

But reacting to the insinuations, Okechukwu who is also the director-general of Voice of Nigeria (VON) urged APGA and its leaders to join the mainstream and stop agonising in line with APC’s Zikist ideology for national cohesion and development.
