The All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) on Monday reacted to speculations that the All Progressive Congress (APC), faction loyal to Governor Hope Uzodinma (Camp Hope), may endorse the APGA candidate, Chibuike Onyirimba for the December 5 Okigwe Senatorial election.
John Iwuala, APGA Chairman, Imo State Chapter, said there is nothing wrong or surprising if the APC faction loyal to the Governor, decides to support his party’s candidate for Okigwe Senate.
“Onyirimba is a good product. He is the best among all the candidates vying for Okigwe senate election.
“There is nothing wrong if they decide to support him. APGA is the party of the masses and we do have the best candidate among the candidates of other political parties taking part in the election” Iwuala said.
He however did not disclose or confirm if there are ongoing talks between APGA and Camp Hope to support Onyirimba in election.
