“There’s no family without rancour, I believe we will come out stronger, better and energised to conquer and return APGA to Agụ-Awka.
“We will work with all existing paraphernalia, structures and everyone in the party to ensure that APGA wins.”
According to him,”thousands of the opposition members have all perfected plans to join us in APGA, we shall receive them into the fold in no distant time.”
