It Is Better To Be A Majority In A Minority Than To Be A Minority In A Majority - APGA/APC Merger

While a faction of the party is already identifying with the newly formed APC, Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State has insisted that the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) has never been consulted or participated in any discussion about any merger, alliance or any union with any political party or parties.

The governor, who was speaking at the weekend after the national caucus meeting of party, said “there are no two APGA, just one individual APGA; the Governor of Imo State has sympathy for the merger arrangements… It is better to be a majority in a minority than to be a minority in a majority, because nobody would hear your voice, we want something that would allow our voice to be heard in this context called Nigeria and we believe APGA would give us that opportunity”.

In the meantime, the party has passed a vote of confidence on the leadership of Governor Peter Obi as the national leader of the party, and Governor Obi has insited that the party was not in any merger, but that individual members could have their personal arrangements. He said, “the merger says you have to surrender your Logo and Identity, that we can’t do, but members can surrender themselves.”
