ANPP adjusts to life after Ume-Ezeoke’s rocky leadership
Sometime in 2002, in the quest to
fortify its plan to wrest power from the ruling Peoples Democratic
Party during the 2003 general elections, the leadership of the then All
Peoples Party began negotiation with some prominent politicians in the
country who it believed were electoral assets. Among them were former
military vice president, Augustus Aikhomu, a former petroleum resources
minister, Don Etiebet and a former Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Edwin Ume-Ezeoke.
Messrs Aikhomu and Etiebet were
coming from the United Nigeria Peoples Party (UNPP), a party reputed to
have been floated by political associates of former military president,
Ibrahim Babangida. They had also been in the PDP.
