Currently, the Chairman of BoT of the party, which is being occupied by Gover­nor Obiano and the National Chairman of the party, Chief Umeh, are from Anambra State with the exception of Chief Chekwas Okorie, who is from Abia State and the founding national chairman of the party.
“The time has come for a person from Imo State to lead the party because the state has contributed immensely to the advancement of the party since inception.”
Meanwhile, the group has appealed to all factions in APGA to bury their differ­ences and come together to rebuild the party in the South- East, warning that the party may not survive another four years of internal crisis, which it noted has already taken its toll on the party, especially in the South-East.
