APGA youths fault IPAC on call for Obiano's removal.

The youth wing of the All Progressives
Grand Alliance (APGA) says the call by
the Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC)
for the impeachment of Governor Willie
Obiano of Anambra State was capable of
instigating crisis in the state.
Chairman, Ekwusigo chapter of APGA
youths, Chief Edwin Ukorah made this
known while speaking to newsmen in
Awka on Wednesday.
Ukorah said the call by Anambra
chapter of IPAC on the state House of
Assembly to commence impeachment
process against Obiano was an attempt
to scuttle peace in the state.
IPAC had on February 24 issued a five-
day ultimatum to the State House of
Assembly to commence investigation of
Obiano for alleged constitutional
breaches.
Some of the breaches include non
conduct of council polls, and alleged
plan to appoint Caretaker Committees
for local government and councillorship
positions.
He urged IPAC not to make itself a
willing tool in the hands of detractors
by engaging in partisan politics which
was not their primary preoccupation.
“We have watched in disappointment
how some political interests have been
trying to put our dear Anambra State
into constitutional crisis.
“Just last week, IPAC called on the
Anambra House of Assembly to
investigate Obiano over alleged
constitutional breaches.
“This call is unfortunate and laughable
because IPAC is not a political party.
“We the APGA youths wish to warn IPAC
to tow the path of honour and allow the
opposition to do their work and not
serve their selfish political interest.’’
According to him, it is also important to
tell them that Anambra youths who are
happy with the good works of our
governor will not stand and watch them
disorganise the state for us.
He said as democrats, the youth were
not against opposition, but stressed the
need for them to be constructive in the
interest of Anambra people.
Ukorah, who said the youth were in total
support of Obiano’s second term bid,
noted that his re-election would be the
best political decision by Anambra
people come Nov. 18.
“Obiano has worked and he is still
working and everybody acknowledges
that he has transformed the agricultural
sector, he is paying workers and retirees
and security is second to none in
Nigeria.
“We totally support him for second term
because he is a man of managerial
competence that can take us to the next
economic era.
“So, I call on our people to take the
right decision by voting Obiano in the
next governorship election,” he said.
