Anambra deputy governorship aspirant denies resignation rumour

The gubernatorial running mate to Hon. Chukwuma Umeoji on the platform of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra governorship election, Prof. Lilian Orogbu has denied that she was resigning from the party.

In a statement by the Director of Media, Mr Uloika Chukwubuikem on Tuesday in Abuja, stated that the purported resignation as Deputy governorship aspirant and also from APGA was a figment of imagination of those behind the falsehood.

She said: “I have no plan to resign as APGA Deputy Governorship candidate because I am still running strong till the victorious end come November 6th with
my boss/APGA Governorship Candidate Hon.Chukwuma Umeoji.

She described the report making the rounds that she would be withdrawing from the race as fake and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

She stated that she trusts the
process that made INEC to initially publish her name and believes her
name will eventually be published when the Court of Appeal affirms the
Owerri High Court judgment that declared Hon. Chukwuma Umeoji as the
validly nominated candidate of the Party.

She said the propagandists who initiated the story had changed their
story when the time for their imaginary press conference did not hold
and will also change their story further now that that the time in their
story for Prof Lilian Orogbu to purportedly step down has passed.

She assures all APGA faithful that she is committed to the
Umeoji-Orogbu joint ticket and pledged her unwaverimg support to Hon.
Chukwuma Umeoji who she declares will be the Anambra State Governor and
she would be the Deputy so as to restore and bring prosperity to Ndi
Anambra.
