A factional leadership of the apex Igbo organisations, Ohanaeze Ndigbo led by Chief Chidi Ibeh, has welcomed the Supreme Court ruling, which recognised Edozie Njoku as authentic National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
Ohaneze said that the ruling has restored hope Nigerians have on the judiciary as last hope of the common man.
In a statement, in Abakaliki Monday, the Secretary General of Ohanaeze faction, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said the recognition of Njoku, who is one of the founding members of the party, as APGA chairman, will restore the party’s master plan, adding that the court ruling has brought to an end years of litigation and fractionalisation in APGA.
He said: “Njoku is a founding member of APGA, and his confirmation by the Supreme Court is a new dawn for the party since he will restore the party’s master plan.
“The tenacity and dedication with which Njoku’s executives followed up the court case depicts the Igbo spirit of perseverance and dedication.
“Surely, under Njoku, APGA will regain its place as a party to be reckoned with as envisaged by its founding fathers like Chief Chekwas Okorie and Dim Emeka Ojukwu.
“With Njoku at the helm of affairs, APGA is set to blossom beyond Anambra State into a regional and even national party.”
