The [All Progressives Grand Alliance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Progressives_Grand_Alliance) has publicly warned its supporters that casting a ballot for the [Nigeria Democratic Congress](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigeria_Democratic_Congress) would effectively constitute a vote against APGA, accusing former Anambra governor [Peter Obi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Obi) of seeking to dismantle the party while reaffirming its backing for President [Bola Ahmed Tinubu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bola_Ahmed_Tinubu) on the basis of his infrastructure agenda in the Southeast.
**Why is APGA warning its members?**
National Publicity Secretary Ejimofor Opara issued a statement urging party faithful to reject any support for the NDC, insisting that such a move would directly harm APGA’s electoral prospects.
**What does Opara allege about Peter Obi?**
Opara claimed that Obi has repeatedly fielded candidates to push APGA out of contests, stating, "For every seat APGA is contesting, why does Mr Peter Obi have a lineup of candidates waiting to push APGA away?" He added that Obi’s actions date back to 2014, describing a long‑term mission to destroy the party that originally propelled him.
**Is there any power‑sharing pact with the NDC?**
The spokesperson denied any formal or informal agreement between APGA and the NDC, characterising the latter as merely a "Special Purpose Vehicle" while emphasizing that APGA remains a fully recognised political party.
**On what grounds does APGA back President Tinubu?**
Opara explained that the party’s support for President Tinubu is not solely based on an unwritten convention of aligning with the ruling party. He highlighted Tinubu’s demonstrable commitment to infrastructure development in the Southeast, calling it the most substantial effort since Nigeria returned to democracy in 1999.
**What final appeal did Opara make to party members?**
He urged APGA supporters not to be swayed by what he described as Obi’s abandonment of the party, warning that Obi treats political organisations as "Special Purpose Vehicles" to be used and discarded.
