The National Executive Committee of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, on Tuesday in Abuja, announced the sacking of a factional Chairman of the Party, Victor Oye, and appointed Chief Jude Okeke, as acting National Chairman.
Briefing journalists after the party’s 114th NEC meeting in Abuja, the National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Ikechukwu Chinyere, said six other members of the party were also sacked.
He listed other sacked party chiefs to include Chinedu Obidigwe, Hamman Ghide, Sylvester Ezeokenwa, Adamu Musa, Chief Okogbuo, and Ifeanyi Mbaeri.

The aspirants were disqualified by the Victor Oye-led faction.
