It was a marriage of culture as the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, threw a surprise birthday party for the National Chairman of the party, Dr Victor Oye, in Abuja.

 

Members of the National Working Committee took turns to pray for the party and Dr Oye in Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba languages.

Speaking at the event, a former Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Labaran Maku, who is also the National Secretary of the party, described Dr Oye as a great achiever who has strength of mind, and capacity to fight until success is achieved.

 

He congratulated the celebrant on his sixty fifth birthday, and for being a good role model who has impacted positively on the lives of members of the party.

The deputy governorship candidate of APGA in the forthcoming Anambra governorship election, Dr. Onyekachukwu Ibezim, the Majority leader, Anambra State House of Assembly, Dr. Nnamdi Okafor and the Deputy National Chairman South, of APGA, Chief Uche Okogbuo, eulogised the National Chairman for being a patriotic Nigerian who is committed to ensuring the progress of others and promised to remain loyal to his beliefs.

 

Responding, the National Chairman, Dr Oye, thanked them for coming to celebrate the victory of APGA over darkness, and maintained that no matter the current situation, the party will forge ahead in its developmental strides.

 

He promised that the ongoing APGA state secretariat building in Anambra State would be replicated in all the states of the Federation to ensure that the presence of the party is felt far and wide.
