Tinubu’s Minister, Bianca Ojukwu Is Still Our Member – APGA Chairman
The Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Sly Ezeokenwa, says Minister of State, Foreign Affairs, Bianca Ojukwu is still a member of the party despite her appointment by President Bola Tinubu.
Didactic Information Hut recalls that Bianca Ojukwu, wife of the late Biafran Warlord is one of the new ministers appointed by President Bola Tinubu when he reshuffled his cabinet in October.
She joined others appointed by President Tinubu into his government even though they are not members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday,
Mr Ezeokenwa, who was speaking in an interview with Channels TV shortly after his leadership of APGA was affirmed by the Supreme Court insisted that Bianca Ojukwu has not left APGA.
“I called on the president and I commend him on that appointment. She (Bianca) is a member of APGA, she is a BoT member of the party till date, she has not resigned her membership of the party. She had that appointment as a member of the party,” Ezeokenwa said.
The APGA chairman also disclosed that the party granted Ojukwu permission to take up the ministerial assignment.
He added that what the president did was what he has always advocated which is for members of opposition parties to be given opportunity to serve in Tinubu’s government.
“The earliest call I did to the president is to ensure now that you have won the election and the Supreme Court has affirmed your election as the president of Nigeria, it is now time to close ranks because the people that can help you achieve your manifesto are not domiciled within your party, you have technocrats that are in other political parties,” he said.
