Emphasising the party\u2019s stability, he advised the governor to resist temptations to align with other political parties, which he characterised as unstable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAPGA remains the healthiest and most stable political party in Nigeria today,\u201d Ehiemere declared. \u201cWe are calling on Governor Alex Otti to return to his political roots, where his political journey began.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further explained that the Labour Party is currently rife with crises, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is nearly in disarray, the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not a safe haven, and the People&#8217;s Democratic Party (PDP) has lost its influence. In contrast, he affirmed that APGA offers the stability and ideological consistency that can support Otti\u2019s continued good governance.<\/p>\n<p>Ehiemere commended Governor Otti\u2019s performance, particularly praising his efforts in security and welfare. He supported the ongoing collaboration between Otti and Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah, citing the establishment of the Abia State Security Trust Fund as a positive initiative.<\/p>\n<p>The APGA leader also lauded the governor for his timely payment of salaries and pensions, while urging him to address the backlog of gratuities owed to retired workers.<\/p>\n<p>Concluding his remarks, Ehiemere urged APGA members across Abia South and the entire state to stay committed and steadfast in upholding the party\u2019s principles.<\/p>\n<p>It is noteworthy that Alex Otti was the APGA governorship candidate in Abia State during the 2015 and 2019 elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Augustine Ehiemere, the National Vice Chairman for the South East zone of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has called on Abia State Governor Alex Otti to rejoin his political family, describing APGA as&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7680,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7679"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7679\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7681,"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7679\/revisions\/7681"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7680"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
