Elated National Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Victor Oye has lauded the Supreme Court judgement affirming him as the authentic chairman of the party, describing the victory as a call for greater service.
Oye expressed the appreciation in a commendation remark following his victory at the apex court. The Supreme Court had on Thursday, dismissed a twin-suit filed by an APGA chieftain, Jude Okeke challenging the validity of Oye as the national chairman of the party. With the verdict, Oye’s position was affirmed. At the same time, the Anambra governorship primary conducted by the Oye-led executive which produced Prof Charles Soludo as the governorship candidate of the party in the November 6 election, was upheld.
“We thank God for his mercifulness and compassion and for seeing us through the intense legal battles. By this victory we have been called to greater service to our great party”, Oye enthused.
He reminded members of the party that the November 6, 2021 governorship election is drawing closer adding that it places an additional responsibility on them, collectively and individually as members of the party. Oye said; “We must guard our loins and take up the gauntlet for the task ahead by ensuring that nothing distracts us as we work for victory in the Anambra State Governorship election”.
He called on the other leaders of APGA to reach out to members all over the country about the need to continue to work together for the growth and development of our party.
“We need everybody on board as we work to reposition our party for 2021 and 2023.
“APGA remains the preferred destination for any genuine lover of democracy; and we will continue to open up the space for equal participation by all genuine members of the party.
“Rest assured that we will be magnanimous in victory, because we believe that leadership comes from God.
“We thank the judiciary for their doggedness in defending the cause of democracy and shutting out those whose activities are inimical to national development and ethos”, Oye added.
