Bianca, the widow of late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, has frowned at the recent defection of members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA to other political parties.
According to her, the once vibrant party has been reduced to a shadow of its former self due to bad leadership.
Bianca, who made this remarks in a statement she released to mark the posthumous birthday of her husband on November 4, described the ruling party as a “secret cult”.
She said: “APGA is now like a secret cult, and this has reduced our once vibrant party to a shadow of its former self.
“Bad leadership has left a deeply wounded and visibly divided party, with members decamping from the party almost on a daily basis with the alacrity of rats deserting a sinking ship.
“Curiously, they are almost all defecting to APC. Our party has lost almost half of our state and national legislators, several principal members of our board of trustees, including the secretary of the board.”
AGPA is one of the major political parties running for the gubernatorial election in Anambra state with the former Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, governor, Prof. Charles Soludo as the party’s candidate.
