He further claimed the governor boasted about securing the assurance of the presidency on the review and reversal of the Supreme Court judgment which favoured Njoku.
Okorie said, “He (Soludo) further assured his faction of APGA that INEC would without delay withdraw the recognition given to Chief Njoku and his National Working Committee.”
He continued, “Professor Chukwuma Soludo had boasted to me directly that he would use everything within his powers as the governor of Anambra State, to ensure that Chief Edozie Njoku would never be the National Chairman of APGA.
“He vowed that if for any reason he failed to stop Njoku from becoming National Chairman, he would resign from APGA within 24 hours and that APGA would cease to exist as a political party.
“At that point I took strong exception to his boast. I told him that since he was not God that made APGA possible 22 years ago when it was registered by INEC as a political party that he lacked the power to determine the survival of APGA.
“Notwithstanding the altercation between Professor Soludo and myself, Chief Edozie Njoku and I have individually and separately extended a hand of fellowship to him for peace to reign in APGA.
“Many well-meaning leaders from across the country who upon realizing that it was Professor Soludo that was the stumbling block to a peaceful APGA reached out to him several times. He remained obstinate and unyielding,” he added.
