APGA denies holding NWC meeting

APGA

Mr. Ifeatu Obiokoye, the National Publicity Secretary, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), said the party never held National Working Committee (NWC) meeting, as claimed by Vice-Chairman, South-East zone, Mr. Nwabueze Okafor.

Obiokoye, via a statement he issued on Wednesday in Abuja, said no such meeting held anywhere.

Okafor said on Monday that APGA’s NWC, held a meeting under his chairmanship, to ratify the purported suspension of the National Chairman of the party, Dr. Victor Oye.

“APGA wishes to assure members and well wishers of the great party that no such meeting of APGA NWC was ever held at anytime or in any place where such decision was ever taken.

“Besides, Okafor as a zonal vice-chairman of the party does not have the constitutional powers to either convene or preside over a meeting of the NWC,” Obiokoye said.

He said that members of the NWC of APGA remained unquestionably committed to the resolution reached at the peace meeting convened at the instance of the national leader and chairman, Board of Trustees.

Obiokoye said the meeting was held on Oct. 13, under the chairmanship of Gov. Willie Obiano, which members of NWC collectively committed themselves to the continued growth of the party.

According to him, Dr. Oye is the National Chairman of APGA, and that in the light of the recent development; the party’s NWC will convene an emergency meeting soon to address issues in the party.

While the exact impact of these attacks remains unclear, reports suggest that Israel’s defense systems intercepted several threats over its airspace.

Fall of Assad is a Blow to Russia's Prestige

The potential fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a long-standing ally of Russia, would mark a turning point in Moscow’s global influence, particularly in the Middle East. Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime. In 2015, Moscow launched a military intervention that proved decisive in stabilizing Assad’s hold on power.

Syria is not just an ally for Russia; it is a...
