-


By Anya C. Anya


The immediate past member representing the  Arochukwu state constituency in the Abia state House of Assembly   Hon. Elder Lukeman Okara Onyeani has explained the rationale behind his decision to dump the All Progressive Grand Alliance APGA for the All Progressive Congress APC

Hon. Elder Lukeman Okara Onyeani contested the 2015 general election under the APGA platform to represent the Arochukwu state constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly, and won the election in one of the electoral upset recorded  in Abia State where the opposition capitalized on the poor performance of the previous administration to get the electorate to vote for them

Though Hon. Elder Lukeman Okara Onyeani lost his bid to return to the Abia State House of Assembly for a second consecutive time , he has however dumped the All Progressive Grand Alliance ( APGA) , a party under  whose popularity he was able to win the legislative seat in 2015

In an interview granted to newsmen Hon. Elder Lukeman Okara Onyeani who is popularly known as Lukeman explained that his decision to move to the All Progressive Congress is not associated nor related to any crises in APGA

" I don't have any issue with anybody in APGA , I don't have anything against The All Progressive Grand Alliance APGA, I was treated fairly and that was the reason why against all odds I stood my ground when my colleague in the Abia State House of Assembly moved over to the ruling People's Democratic party in 2015, I was the only opposition figure in the house and it resulted to several denials against me  but nothwithstanding I could not falter neither was I distracted to reconsider joining PDP "

He alerge that " everyone in the All Progressive Grand Alliance APGA is a member of the All Progressive Congress APC, iam saying this as an ex- law maker  and an ex APGA member not as a representative or spokeman of APGA " he described his decamping as simply a switch from " the Boys quarters to the main building, you will recall that in the 2015 general election , APGA adopted President Buhari as thier presidential candidate , also in 2019 where we had our own candidate , many still switch alergiance to APC  " 

According to the Ex legislator , "I have no interest yet in 2023 , it to s too early to discuss the politics of 2023 now , my interest in APC to contribute my quota in moving the country forward , I have been doing that in the All Progressive Grand Alliance APGA but here in APC , it is going to be better since APC have wider coverage and national penetration "

He Explained that " it was the ideology of the All Progressive Congress APC that made the construction of the Arochukwu- Ohafia federal road possible which the People's Democratic party in many years could not attend to , " other notable project of the current APC administration in South East Include  the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway and the 2nd Niger bridge which is currently under reconstruction " he concluded .

Some students paid a ransom fee between ₦80,000 and ₦150,000 to the school administrators to secure admission. The results are released two weeks after the exam, and those who 'pass' paid additional ₦15,000 to collect admission letters and ₦245,000 for tuition, hostel, books, and uniforms. But no book was given to the students. The selected students are registered as PTS students. Then, after two to three months of phantom lectures, the students paid ₦30,000, called the examination fee.
