The national chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Oye received Abia State governorship hopeful Major General Ijioma N. Ijioma Rtd in his country home at Amawbia in Anambra state on the 12th of February 2022.
The General who had earlier joined the party from his ward in Umuhu Ezechi, Bende Local Government Area and now one of the frontline governorship aspirants in Abia State continued his consultation with the visit to the national chairman of his party.
While speaking during the interaction, Major General Ijioma N. Ijioma Rtd revealed that his joining of APGA is for life and that he is committed in making sure that the party grows and become stronger in all ramification.
He assured the national chairman of the party that he is a unifier, a mobilizer and a man driven by the passion for making sure that Ndi Igbo are better placed in Nigeria through the instrumentality of APGA as a party.
