BY ABUCHI IFESINACHI, AWKA

The Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese His Lordship Most Rev Dr Paulinus Chukwuemeka Ezeokafor has congratulated the executive Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano on his recent appointment as the chairman of the Board of Trustees (BOT) and as the leader of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

He charged the Governor not to allow the rigours characterized with such appointment to distract him from carrying out the onerous task of creating a new and vibrant Anambra State.

Now that Obiano has Become APGA BOT Chairman

On Monday, November 3, 2014, the Board of Trustees of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) unanimously appointed the Governor of Anambra State, His Excellency, Chief Willie Obiano as its new Leader and Chairman(BOT). The appointment brought to an end, an era that never was – the era of former Governor Peter Obi, the party’s recent past BOT Chairman, which was mired in intra-party squabbles and heady power-play. In the end, Obi’s appointment was never ratified.

Whereas many especially in the Igbo heartland felt scandalized by the former governor’s action and expressed it in different ways, others tried to lend support rather tamely by turning round to blame those who felt outraged by the apparent betrayal of trust.
