Peter Obi's APGA Faction set to merge with CPC

It is expected that Okwu will, anytime from now, announce a merger of the CPC with the APGA faction led by Obi

The National Chairman of Citizens Popular Party, Maxi Okwu, has dumped his party for the All Progressives Grand Alliance.
And in a curious development, Okwu has emerged the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of APGA.
The development, on Saturday, appeared to be a further deepening of the crisis in APGA, with Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State presiding over the meeting where the decision to set up a caretaker committee for the party was taken.
The National Chairman of APGA, Chief Victor Umeh, has thus effectively been sidelined by the faction led by Obi.
Also, former factional Secretary of APGA in the Umeh faction, Sani Shinkafi, has joined the Obi faction of the party.
Shinkafi is now the secretary of the Okwu-led caretaker committee of the party.
Factional Chairman of the Obi faction, Sadeeq Masalla, has reverted to his former position as the Deputy Chairman (North) of the party.
It is expected that Okwu will, anytime from now, announce a merger of the CPC with the APGA faction led by Obi.
Meanwhile, some members of the Massala faction, including Ifedi Okwenna, the former factional secretary, have vowed to resist and challenge what they termed the illegality of the Okwu-led caretaker committee.
The Masalla group said that it is illegal and criminal for Okwu to be chairman of two political parties.
Umeh has also threatened to challenge the constitution of the Okwu-led caretaker committee and judgement of the Enugu High Court that sacked him as APGA chairman.
With this development, APGA now has four factions.
These are APGA faction working with the Peoples Democratic Party as represented by Obi; APGA-All Progressives Congress, a coalition of opposition political parties; APGA-Umeh and APGA-Massalla.
