Aspirants to the house of assembly seats on the platform of the party accused its leadership of tampering with the delegates’ list.
A group, committee of house of assembly aspirants led by Mrs Chinenye Molokwu, who addressed journalists, said, “As I speak to you we do not know who the delegates are. The party has different list of delegates for House of Assembly, and different delegates for National Assembly.
“This is a grand plan to impose candidates of their choice and we have it on good authority that some aspirants submitted names of those in their campaign organizations to the party as delegates.
“The original list of delegates have been doctored so we do not have confidence in the forthcoming primary elections,” she said.
But in his Independence day broadcast, Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano extolled APGA as a party rooted in internal democracy.
He said, “Brothers and sisters, in Anambra State, we have established a template for democratic excellence. We have harnessed the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) into a model democratic platform.
“We have developed a robust democratic culture that is deeply rooted in brotherhood and progress. So, as we prepare for our coming party primaries, we must not lose sight of the fact that it is a family affair. Of course we shall have our usual differences.
“That is the sole of every democratic culture. But we must not let our individual differences and political disagreements overrun the great promise of our party. Umu nnem, we shall settle all our differences in brotherhood.”
The National Assembly primary elections for the party will be taking place Tuesday for the Federal House of Representatives while that of the Senate would take place on Wednesday this week.
