Former PDP chieftain, Dr Alex Obiogbolu
By PAMELA EBOH, Awka
Days after he resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), indications have emerged that the Director General of Valentine Ozigbo Campaign Organisation, Dr Alex Obiogbolu, is eyeing the Anambra North senatorial seat come 2023 and believes that the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) is the only ladder to achieving such feat as it is the party in power in the state.
Though Obiogolu denied eyeing APGA,News Expresslearnt that arrangements have reached an advanced stage for him to cross over to the party.
Speaking shortly after a stakeholders meeting of the party on Tuesday, Anambra PDP Chairman, Chief Ndubuisi Nwogbo, confirmed that Obiogbolu has left the party but failed to say if he has joined APGA.
When contacted, Dr Obiogbolu denied joining APGA, saying that he only resigned from PDP.
He said that he has written the party leaderships on his resignation, adding:“No, I have only resigned from the party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and I have not joined any party, let alone APGA.
“I am still consulting and at the appropriate time I will make public where I am going to.
“I resigned from the party because of the level of indiscipline in the party, PDP but for someone to say that I have joined APGA is not true and I have handed over my letter of resignation to the leadership of the party.”
