2019 polls: APGA generated N1.3bn from sale of forms – Chairman

The National Chairman, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Oye, has said the party generated N1.3bn from sale of forms during the 2019 electioneering.

Speaking in an interview, Friday in Awka, Oye said the party had N940 million intact in the bank after all expenses concerning the elections were made.

Oye, who said he inherited N40 million when he took over the mantle of leadership of the party in 2015, expressed sadness that some members of the party would still impugn on his integrity after working so hard for the party.

“During our primaries I did not send anybody out to do untoward things for me. I sent them to go and do good job for our party and bring me result. If anybody went there to do any dirty thing, it was his integrity that he destroyed not mine, nor that of the party.

 “The primaries has come and gone. Everybody won’t win the primaries; some will win and other will lose. I cannot understand where these grievances are coming from.

“However, I am not perturbed. It’s only God that can decide our faith in life. Only God can crown a king; and when God anoints someone, no man can undo the anointing,” he said.

The national chairman, who is standing for re-election during the party’s national convention on May 27 this year, said the party had won 35 lawsuits in different courts out of 63 suits instituted against the party by those who described themselves as aggrieved members of APGA.

He, however, urged members of the party to sheathe their swords in the interest of the party, warning that the party would no longer fold its hands and allow any person to destroy efforts put in place to give APGA an identity in the country.
