Mr. Emeka Ojukwu Jr, the son of the founder of the All Progressives Grand Alliance Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, rejected the party for a progressive congress.
Ojukwu jr said on Wednesday in Awka during a major final campaign by APC candidate for election of Governor Anambra 2017, Dr. Tony Nwoye.
President Muhammadu Buhari, APC National Chairman Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, 12 APC Governors, members of the National Assembly of the Party, among other major parties, attended the event.
Ojukwu Jr, who was adorned with his tender new party, said the time was for people from the southeast region to move from the "recession of the periphery to the center."
"It's time for the shadows to go to light and from time to time go with the shadow of their father to confuse people," he said.
According to him, APGA is the means to end but is not the end of itself.
He said that the reason why his father joined the National Party of Nigeria in the Second Republic was to ensure that Igbo remained in the mainstream Nigerian politics.
"Mr. President, I am proud that I am here today to give you the support and solidarity with APC and our candidate, Tony Nwoye," he added.
The National President of the CPA introduced him as a party symbol and described the gathering as "another historic campaign".
Oyegun recalled that Mr. Buhari made the story when he dismissed the outgoing president of Goodluck Jonathan in 2015, saying that the same success would be achieved in the election of Anambra Governor in 2017.
The national president called on the citizens of the state to vote for the mass for the party and Nwoye in the Sabbath ballad.
