APGA threatens to sue APC, Fashola for N2bn The All Progressive Grand Alliance has threatened to sue the newly-registered All Progressives Congress and the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola (SAN), for listing it in an advertorial as one of the four parties that merged to form the new party. The National Chairman of APGA, Chief Victor Umeh, stated this on Thursday just as the African Peoples Congress described the recognition of the APC by INEC as “a black market registration.” Umeh, at a news conference in Abuja, gave Fashola seven days’ ultimatum within which to publish a retraction in the newspapers where he published the advertorial congratulating the APC for a successful registration. He said,” Coming from a senior lawyer, we are sure that the governor knows the obvious implications of this advertorial which we detest. It is a mischief contrived to deceive all our teaming supporters in Nigeria and worldwide that APGA has now become part of the APC. Governor Fashola cannot claim not to know that APGA never submitted itself to any merger talks with the three parties(Action Congress of Nigeria, Congress for Progressive Change and All Nigeria Peoples Party) and other interest groups that came together to form the APC. “He is aware that at no time did any APGA official appear in any meeting where merger talks were held. He is also aware that APGA leadership has consistently made it clear to Nigerians that it was never part of the merger talks and will never be a part of it. Surprisingly this (Thursday) morning, our party’s logo was so fraudulently inserted in an advertorial with the intention to deceive all our supporters.”
