The leadership of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Abia State chapter, has said that the party did not, in any way, sack Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe or threaten to expel him from the party, but rather that he voluntarily resigned his membership.
The party leadership went ahead to accuse Abaribe of allegedly recruiting sacked members of the party to fabricate a letter in the name of APGA to support his claim of being sacked.
The leadership of the party made its position known through its Spokesperson, Chukwuemeka Nwokoro, who, in a press statement made available to journalists, informed that the claim by Abaribe that he was sacked from the party was made to justify what he described as his unwarranted resignation.
Nwokoro added that the leadership of APGA is using the medium to inform the general public, Abians, and particularly the Senate, that it has come to the notice of the party leadership in the state that Senator Abaribe has allegedly started secret movements, trying to recruit people who are no longer members of the party to come together and produce a letter purportedly stating that he was sacked in September 2025.
This move is intended to cover up the lies that he was sacked in September, which he told the Senate, with the intention of deceiving Senate members into accepting his unconstitutional defection to another party, knowing fully well that APGA has no element of crisis in any facet of the party’s leadership, the only basis for defection.
Let it be known that Senator Abaribe was neither sacked nor expelled from the party. Senator Abaribe resigned from the party on December 30, 2025, and submitted his resignation letter to the Ahiaba Ward 5 chairman of Obingwa LGA,” the release stated.
Nwokoro argued that if Senator Abaribe had been sacked in September 2025, as he claimed, he would not have submitted his resignation letter in December 2025.
The APGA spokesperson pointed out that, ordinarily, his resignation clearly contradicts his claim of expulsion.
Any person expelled from a party is no longer a member of that party, but here, after three months of the purported sack, he filed a resignation letter. It is clear that APGA, as a national party, has neither problems nor crises anywhere in the entire nation, let alone in the national leadership; it is the most peaceful party.
“Let it be known that all the secret moves by Senator Abaribe’s recruits over the past 48 hours have been uncovered. He promised them heavily if they could produce the fake document to enable him to submit it to the Senate on Tuesday or Wednesday in defense of the lies he used to deceive the Senate,” the release added.
Nwokoro further informed that the party is warning those allegedly involved in the act that any move which could bring embarrassment to the party should be immediately stopped or they would face the consequences.
