Peter Umeadi, a renowned law professor and former Chief Judge of Anambra State, has been elected as the presidential candidate of the Victor Oye-led All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA.
According to sources, Umeadi won the presidential ticket in a special convention held at the party’s national headquarters in Katampe-Abuja, which was attended by factional party officials and members from the country’s six geographic zones.
By a voice vote, the embattled party’s 150 delegates endorsed Umeadi’s candidacy.

Victor Oye, a party factional national chairman, expressed hope that Umeadi will be sworn in as President of Nigeria in 2023 when asked about the election.
The party has been torn between Edozie Njoku and Victor Oye, both claiming to be the substantive national chairman of the party.
Recall, Njoku was sacked as APGA national chairman by the lower court in Jigawa State and went on to lose in the appellate court as well.
He thereafter took his search for justice to the Supreme Court, which according to him, later recognized him as the national chairman of the party, after writing the apex court to revisit its error of October 14, 2021 ruling.
