National Chairman of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, Chief Victor Umeh, on Monday said the party would win the general elections in Imo State in 2015.<\/p>\n

Umeh, who spoke to journalists\u00a0<\/em>in Abuja, said:\u00a0\u201cWe are very eager to rebuild the party in Imo against 2015.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that doing so had become imperative following the defection of Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha to the just registered All Progressives Congress.<\/p>\n

He said the party\u2019s National Executive Committee unanimously resolved to dissolve the Imo executive committee of the party because it was the only available option at the moment.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cImo has been an APGA state since 2003; we won and it was stolen away from us and we could not retrieve it at the tribunal. In 2011, we won but it was also a difficult fight because we have to go through supplementary elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

He, however, reminded the governor that the government he was taking to APC belonged to APGA.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe made it clear long time ago that APGA is not in a merger with any political party or association in the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Umeh said the party would uphold the suspension of Okorocha until he apologised to APGA.<\/p>\n
