From Romanus Ugwu, Abuja
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) may have rested the fresh crisis rocking the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) by allowing its National Chairman, Victor Oye, to represent the party during its yesterday’s meeting with political parties.
Oye, who arrived the headquarters of the electoral umpire in Abuja during the early morning event, had introduced himself as the party’s boss after warmly exchanging pleasantries with the commission’s Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, on entry into the meeting hall.
Reacting to the development, Oye told Daily Sun that his presence at the meeting was a confirmation that the actions of the impostors were mere charade and efforts in futility.
Although a faction of the party had held a congress and elected a new national leadership of the party, however, none of the elected new executive made any attempt to show presence at the all-important meeting with the electoral body, where 17 out of the 18 registered political parties were in attendance.
“Seeing me here, what do you want me to confirm again. My presence here speaks volume and confirms who is in charge of the party. I am here to represent my party in my capacity as APGA chairman in this meeting and every other person claiming anything is an impostor,” he said.
