The All-Progressives Grand Alliance says the defection of Nkem Okeke, deputy governor of Anambra, will not have any significant effect on the party’s chances in the forthcoming governorship election.

A statement issued by its spokesman, Tex Okechukwu, APGA described Okeke’s defection as uncalled for, ill-timed, ill-advised and of no consequence.

According to Okechukwu, the Anambra deputy governor started “behaving abnormally” after the party’s governorship primary, which produced Chukwuma Soludo as the candidate for APGA.
