ENUGU—South-East and South-South leaders of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, yesterday, re-affirmed their confidence in the National Working Committee of the party under Chief Victor Umeh and Alhaji Sani Shinkafi, National Chairman and Secretary respectively.
In a statement after a meeting of the party leaders in the two geo-political zones, APGA executive members also endorsed expulsion of some party members in Anambra State chapter.
Deputy National Chairman, South, Chief Chris Uche, convened the meeting while the communique was signed by 18 executive members from the South-East and South-South zones, including state chairmen and secretaries.
The communique said: "We members and executives of South-East and South-South of All Progressives Grand Alliance a hereby resolved as follows: That we further maintain and reaffirm the vote of confidence passed on the leadership of our great party as led by Chief Victor Umeh as the National Chairman and Alhaji Sani Shinkafi as the National Secretary and her National Working Committee.

While extolling the leadership style of our governors of Imo and Anambra states, Owelle Anayo Rochas Okorocha and Mr Peter Obi for their infrastructural revolution in their various states, the party leaders, however, urged them to do more so that their political evolution in APGA would spread positively to other states of the federation.
