By Vincent Ujumadu, Awka
The former governor of Anambra State, Mr. peter obi has tendered his resignation letter as leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, apga, and the chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees, BoT.

In a letter addressed to the National Secretary of the party and submitted in the party’s Abuja office yesterday, obi said he was reg as leader and BoT chairman into which he was appointed in January

According to him, the appointment was yet to be ratified by a Convention of the party as stipulated by the constitution several months after it was made.

obi also cited family and personal reasons, but did not give details.

He however wished the party well in her future endeavours, reiterating the fact that he remains an ordinary apga member.

The former Governor was recently denied appointment as a minister by President Goodluck Jonathan because he allegedly refused to defect from apga to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

obi’s media aide, Mr. Valentine Obienyem confirmed the development yesterday.

His words: “ If you recall, my boss was nominated the leader of the party and the chairman, Board of Trustees in January.

“The nomination was yet to be ratified by a Convention of the party at the time he submitted his letter of resignation.

“Since the convention will take place next year, people have found it convenient to blame him for the woes of the party, saying that he had failed to intervene on matters affecting the party, not knowing that without ratification of his nomination, he had no platform under which to intervene. Obienyem said that his boss remained an apga member, and would continue to the party at all times.

Only recently, four of the party in the House of Representatives resigned their hip and declared for the PDP.

The plastic - faced Obiano will be destroyed by Victor Umeh and ... What is it about him drinking champagne instead of alcohol?


Obi has paid his dues and need to think about his future. He might come in as SGF after 2015. To qualify for the office, he must be in the PDP.

Peter Obi does not have the charisma to lead a party, it is easier to govern a state than to lead a group of unruly and greedy politicians. Squre peg in a round hole.

What sin did Obiano commit that is flinging APGA onto it's path of demise? Until the SE eat the humble pie and abandon their politics of exclusion, they will continue to suffer the consequences of political irrelevance. No party is going to try to integrate anyone who is filled with contempt about that party.

Rest in Peace APGA. A party without dream, vision or mission. Unknowing to many Igbo. The party was formed by Hausa man (Alhaji Shinkafi), Ojukwu hijacked it. Peter Obi killed it. Adieu APGA. Unknownly to Ojukwu, the party was put on auto pilot by Shinkafi to mislead Igbos. My Igbo brothers and sisters wake up oooooo.

APGA is a one state party with no representation at the federal level, so this shouldn't be news at all.
