A communiqué read to journalists by the acting National Publicity Secretary of the Maxi Okwu's faction, Stanley Chira, APGA said it re-affirmed an earlier decision of February 16 and March 22, 2013, while it was marking the one year anniversary of Mr. Ojukwu’s death, to appoint Bianca into the position. "He remains our symbol and leader, the fact of his transit to glory notwithstanding. His wife and next of kin, Iyom Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu is hereby adopted as the living embodiment of his ideal. She shall in his stead be acknowledged as leader",the party said. Mr. Ojukwu was the Chairman, Board of Trustees, BoT, of the party before his demise in 2012. The Okwu led faction of the APGA was pronounced the authentic leadership of APGA by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja. Bianca is currently Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain. Only time would tell if this was a good move for the party of a bad one.
