The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has called for the immediate arrest of its factional chairman Martins Agbaso, for breaking into its national secretariat with his group and carting away sensitive documents of the party.

APGA National Chairman, Chief Victor Oye, however, said the crisis rocking the party will not affect its chances in the forthcoming Anambra governorship election, saying “APGA will win one hundred percent.”

Addressing newsmen Monday at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, where all the national leaders and the all the state chairmen of the party were in attendance to show solidarity, Chief Oye alleged that Agbaso’s group stole N19 million and other sensitive documents from his office when they visited last week Thursday.

“The real owners of the party are here. We have come to consolidate on the gains we have achieved. What happened on Thursday last week was shameful, intolerable, wicked and illegal. But for us they came when we were not there because we had closed from the office. They broke into my office and took away N19 million which was saved for the conduct of primary election.

“These people are nothing but hoodlums, criminals and their actions are intolerable. We are the real owners of APGA.’ Chief Oye said.

When asked what his leadership will do to receive back the alleged stolen items and money, the National Chairman said “the case is pending before the police, they will surely appear before police and we will get back our N19 million and other sensitive documents they stole. They said they took it away, no, they stole it.”

On the chances of his party in the forthcoming Anambra governorship election, Chief Oye said: “APGA will win the election one hundred percent. Let me tell you APGA is a movement, in Anambra State as we speak, all these things happening nobody even know about it, what the people are interested in is returning Governor Willie Obiano as governor for second term because he has performed excellently.

“In Anambra, workers receive their salaries promptly and accurately, pensioners receive their pensions and gratuities are up to date, there is security of life and property and many other positive things are happening.

On the court judgement which Chief Agbaso relied on, Oye said: “The truth of the matter is that nobody has ever suspended me from the party. I have taken charge of this party since 5th of June 2015 till date one hundred percent. Just leave the charlatans and what they say. They want to bamboozle the people. What they are looking for is money.

“The judgement he (Oye) is parading was granted fraudulently and in error and I was not joined.  The court in Nnewi made clear that Martins Agbaso will not organise the primary election anywhere, anytime in Anambra State because that judgement is localised because if you want to organise primary election, the court must be in that state.”
