Umeh is day-dreaming and lost in self illusion, APGA is non-existent in Abia – Orji

Governor Theodore Orji of Abia state has described the claim made by the National Chairman of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, Chief Victor Umeh, that APGA will sweep the polls in the State come 2015 as empty, bogus and lacking substance. The governor who said this via his Chief Press Secretary, Charles Ajunwa, stated that Umeh was day-dreaming and lost in self illusion by thinking that APGA “which is non- existent in Abia ” could capture the state in 2015. According to reports from Punch, Umeh had while commissioning the state secretariat of the party in Umuahia, said APGA would sack the ruling Peoples Democratic Party from Abia government house in 2015 and transform the state in accordance with the visions of its founding fathers and great leaders from the East like late Michael Okpara, and Sam Mbakwe . Faulting Umeh’s claims, Orji said it was impossible for APGA to snatch Abia from the grip of PDP which had remained in control of the state since 1999 , adding that the opposition including APGA is long dead in Abia . He said the giant strides recorded by his PDP-led administration had made it near impossible for PDP to be uprooted in the state in the near future. Orji advised Umeh to stop junketing around with a false identity of self- acclaimed Igbo leader meant to deceive the gullible minds and less politically informed folks when in fact, PDP according to him is the party that can properly project the Igbo interest. The Governor therefore enjoined residents of the state and Ndigbo in general to disregard Umeh and his propaganda , and stay put with PDP, assuring that the continued support of Ndigbo for President Goodluck Jonathan will not go unrewarded.
