Bianca Ojukwu Still APGA Member
The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has clarified that Bianca Ojukwu who is one of the new ministers appointed by President Bola Tinubu remains a member of the party.
The position was stated by the Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Sly Ezeokenwa on Wednesday.
Ezeokenwa made this declaration when he spoke on Channels TV.
Despite not being a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu’s widow was appointed by Tinubu as the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.
Ezeokenwa’s leadership of APGA recently got affirmation from the Supreme Court.
“I called on the president and I commend him on that appointment. She (Bianca) is a member of APGA, she is a BoT member of the party till date, she has not resigned her membership of the party. She had that appointment as a member of the party,” Ezeokenwa said.
The APGA chairman also revealed that the party granted Ojukwu permission to take up the ministerial assignment.
“The earliest call I did to the president is to ensure now that you have won the election and the Supreme Court has affirmed your election as the president of Nigeria”
“it is now time to close ranks because the people that can help you achieve your manifesto are not domiciled within your party, you have technocrats that are in other political parties,” he said.
