They vowed after a meeting at the Anambra State Government House in Awka to retain the governorship seat. The election is billed for Novermber16.
The running battle for the soul of APGA ended with the decision of the Court of Appeal in Enugu last month, which gave the position to Umeh, whose leadership was being challenged by Chief Maxi Okwu.
Obi said none of them was happy while the APGA crisis lasted. He declared the crisis over.
“We are going to reconcile every other person or group and set the machinery in motion for our victory in the November election, I have said it that any time I leave APGA, I will leave politics.
”Those who think that it is over are wrong. APGA is just starting and people will see what will happen during the election, it is now all action,” Obi said
Umeh, beaming with smiles as he hugged Obi, described yesterday as the liberation day in Anambra State
“I really missed the Executive chambers of this Government House during this crisis. Everybody should go out and announce to the world that Governor Obi and his brother have finally reconciled, we are now one.
”The political landscape of Anambra State will now change and those who want to take over the Government House in other parties will be totally disappointed.
”The amazing thing is that while the crisis lasted, Obi continued to function with his government without derailing, and what he has done with this executive will be the strength of the party in the election.
”It is a no victor, no vanquished affair, people really worked so hard for this reconciliation, I was never happy throughout the duration, likewise my brother Governor Obi, I’m happy we are now one united family again.
”Our late great Supreme Leader Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu will be very happy today and the celebration I have been having at his grave side is now happening at the Government House,” Obi said.
According to him, the reconciliation, is complete having sorted things out with Ojukwu’s widow Bianca.
”I met with his Amb. Bianca Ojukwu last week where we reconciled too, we are brothers and that is why we must come together to fight this common cause our late leader wished for.
”We have worked together for 11 years trying to chart a new course for APGA until the devil came trying to destabilise us; people worked so hard for this peace,” Umeh said.
It was gathered yesterday in Awka the reconciliation efforts by the Catholic and Anglican Bishops in Enugu facilitated the peace deal.
Others who met with the duo in Abuja were Prince Arthur Ezeh; Hon. Chudi Offodile and the traditional prime minister of Awka kingdom, Ozo Austine Ndigwe, who made the reconciliation possible. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
