\nHe said, \u201cHis (Okorocha\u2019s) body language and movement show he is with APC. Attending the Action Congress of Nigeria convention, is not bad, because during convention, about eight political parties attended as guests. I have attended the convention of other parties as well.<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n
\u201cBut if he is now bad-mouthing his party because of his relationship with an association that is unregistered, we can only keep our fingers crossed hoping that if and whenever the APC is registered, we will know what to do. For now, the APC is still as an association and not a political party.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
When asked if it was possible to expel a sitting governor, Okwu said Rimi and Musa were expelled from the PRP.<\/em><\/h3>\n
\n\u201cIf a governor dumps the party on which he was elected, it is an issue that has to take care of itself. But let us wait; it may be possible that at the end of the day, he (Okorocha) may have a rethink. So, let\u2019s not say much on that issue yet,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Also speaking, APGA leader and its Abia state governorship candidate in the 2011 general elections, Mr. Reagan Ufomba, said any member of the party who contravened its constitution and indulged in anti-party activities would be \u201cdisciplined irrespective of his position.\u201d<\/h3>\n
Similarly, the National Secretary of the Umeh-led APGA, Mr. Sani Shinkafi, said the APC was not yet a political party but a political association, adding that\u00a0 \u201cOkorocha is on his own.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n
The Special Assistant (Media) to Okorocha, Mr. Ebere Uzoukwa, however dismissed the expulsion threat.<\/h3>\n
He\u00a0 added that Okorocha\u2019s decision to \u2018rescue APGA\u2019 remained the best option.<\/h3>\n
\u201cYou know the present condition of APGA with respect to the numerous crises in the party. Based on that fact, Okorocha, being a progressive politician, opted to join forces with other progressives to form a bigger and national party. But it appears that some of these retrogressive elements are not in support of that move by the governor.<\/h3>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know those that are trying to expel him; we are not aware. But as I speak with you, the governor is enjoying the support of over 80 per cent of APGA members in his latest move to join other progressives to form APC.<\/h3>\n
\u201cSo those few persons who want to continue making a mockery of themselves should go ahead. We are not aware and whatever they do there is null and void. It won\u2019t enjoy the support of the real\u00a0 APGA people,\u201d he said.<\/h3>\n
