APGA to Umahi: Apologize for your deceptive comment
The Ebonyi state chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Chukwudi Nwankwo, has responded to the recent social media statement attributed to the immediate past governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. Dave Nweze Umahi, that here is no opposition to the current administration at the national level and Ebonyi state as a blatant falsehood.
He said Umahi, the Minister of Transportation is a person well known careless remarks.
Hon. Nwankwo, said Umahi’s position that APGA is on the verge of collapse in Ebonyi and across was utterly ludicrous, contending that current developments in the country and Ebonyi State in particular signals the approaching end of the APC government, both nationally and in Ebonyi State, as a result of its damaging effects on the people.
In a statement released through Comrade Chris Emmanuel, the Media Director of APGA in Ebonyi State, the APGA state leader voiced strong disapproval of individuals like Engr. Nweze Umahi and asserted that, given the prevailing conditions in the country under the current administration, Umahi and his likes should feel a sense of shame.
The APGA leader emphasized the widespread hardship, agony, and sufferings endured by the populace. He questioned why, instead of tackling these pressing issues, Engr. Umahi was prioritizing elections that are still two years away. The APGA leader suggested that Umahi should instead apologize to Nigerians on behalf of his party, APC over the distress his party is inflicting upon the citizenry.
“Nigeria is currently in a state of uncertainty, yet individuals are already campaigning for elections that are two years away. Former Governor Umahi is deceitful, and we are alerting the public to his unfavorable disposition towards the Igbo people and anyone associated with him. Umahi’s actions have been driven by pure selfishness, and he has never championed any beneficial cause for the people of Ebonyi State or the Southeast region. I urge everyone to disregard his assertion that there is no opposition in the Ebonyi State current administration.
He accused Umahi of deliberately entrusting the leadership of Ebonyi State to Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, allegedly knowing he would fail to perform. Furthermore, Hon. Nwankwo alleged that the current governor has been in office for two years without commissioning a single project, fostering no maintenance culture, and achieving nothing in Ebonyi State. He attributed these shortcomings to the excessive and undeserved praise from figures like Umahi.
The David Mark-led faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has approached the Court of Appeal to challenge the Federal High Court judgement that removed its leadership.
The opposition party also disclosed that it had filed an application seeking a stay of execution of the judgement pending the hearing and determination of its appeal.
The party made this known in a statement on Friday, November 6, adding that it had formally notified the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of the legal steps taken,
The appeal is against the judgement delivered by the Federal High Court in Abuja on November 5, 2026, in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1619/2025, involving Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe and the ADC.
The party urged INEC to refrain from taking any further action on the matter until the Court of Appeal has considered the case.
It argued that the application for a stay of execution was yet to be decided and that the electoral commission should not take any step that could affect the outcome of the appeal.
According to the ADC, it expects INEC to respect the ongoing legal process and allow the appellate court to hear the matter before making any decision connected to the judgement.
The statement partly read, “The ADC is exercising its lawful right to appeal. The judgement is now being challenged before a higher court, and the legal process must be allowed to run its course.
“We expect INEC to uphold the law and take full account of the pending proceedings before making any consequential decisions.”
The party also urged its members and supporters to remain calm, insisting that the court judgement would not stop its political activities.
It said its campaigns would continue while it explored all available legal options to defend its position.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has nullified the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by Senator David Mark, declaring the caretaker committee that oversaw the party’s affairs illegal and invalidating all decisions taken by the committee.
The judgment, delivered on Thursday by Justice Peter Lifu, also affects the presidential primary that produced former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the ADC’s flag bearer for the 2027 general elections.
Atiku, whose name had earlier been published by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the party’s presidential candidate, had already selected former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, as his running mate.
The ruling followed a suit instituted by Nafiu Bala Gombe, a former National Deputy Chairman (North-East) of the ADC, who challenged the process through which the David Mark-led leadership assumed control of the party.
Gombe argued that following the resignation of the party’s former National Chairman, Chief Ralph Nwosu, he was constitutionally entitled to take over the leadership.
He consequently asked the court to invalidate all actions undertaken by the Mark-led leadership and restrain Senator Mark and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola from presenting themselves as the party’s National Chairman and National Secretary, respectively.
The plaintiff maintained that their emergence violated the ADC constitution and relevant provisions of the Electoral Act.
In suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1819/2025, the ADC, INEC, Senator David Mark, Aregbesola and Chief Ralph Nwosu were listed as defendants.
Justice Lifu upheld Gombe’s claims and granted the reliefs sought, effectively invalidating the authority of the caretaker committee and decisions taken under its leadership.
The verdict is expected to trigger fresh political uncertainty within the ADC, particularly over Atiku’s presidential ambition and the party’s preparations for the January 16, 2027 presidential election.
However, the party has vowed to challenge the judgment at the appellate court.
