As the leadership crisis rocking the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) continues, a youth group, APGA Youth Vanguard, has warned Chekwas Okorie and Edozie Njoku to stop forthwith, their "inglorious" activities against the party or face dire consequences.
In a press statement on Wednesday, April 11, National Publicity Secretary of APGA, Oseloka Okolo, expressed "anger and shock at the wicked and malicious propaganda, and falsehood perpetrated by the two against APGA."

Legit.ng's regional reporter in Anambra, Mokwugwo Solomon, quoted Okolo as describing both men as,
"...enemies of democracy, who had plied their Yahoo business against the party for a very long time without anybody calling them to order."

Okolo said:
"How could Chekwas Okorie and Edozie Njoku continue to de-market our great party, without any justification? There must be consequences for such tendentious actions."
He wondered how Okorie, who he said, was expelled by APGA for embezzling its funds while serving as national chairman, had the audacity to meddle in the party's affairs.
He said further:
"This man, Chekwas Okorie, shamelessly filed a suit at the Federal High Court, Abuja, claiming to be the presidential candidate of APGA; but the suit was struck out by the court, which also described him as 'an unknown entity..'
"What moral right does he have to call on INEC to recognize Edozie Njoku, who had extorted innocent members of the public in the name of fighting for the chairmanship of APGA? Edozie Njoku is not known to us. He has nothing to do with our party. He will soon face the music for his fraudulent activities.
"We will do everything humanly possible to place them where they belong, because, we have endured their excesses for too long."
The group warned it would be forced to embark on severe demonstrations against both men if they did not stop their "callous activities" against the party.
The Youth Vanguard advised Okorie, who it said, turned 70 years recently, to enjoy his retirement in peace or be ready to reap trouble.

March 18 election: Did Soludo spend N3.5bn to buy votes for APGA candidates?
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra state said that the report making the rounds that he spent N3.5 billion to buy votes for House of Assembly candidates of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) during the March 18 elections in Anambra was untrue.
The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) had, in a statement at the weekend, accused Governor Soludo of coveting a whooping N3.5 billion of the tax-payers money, which he shared with stakeholders and voters at different constituencies to help candidates of his party to win.
