Umeh gave the warning at Aroma Junction, Awka, during the formal flag-off of the construction of three flyovers in the state capital by Governor Willie Obiano.
The APGA boss, whose leadership was re-affirmed by Court of Appeal last Wednesday, noted that he does not bear malice to anybody as ‘God upholds the righteous’, even as he urged Obiano to throw the doors of the party open to everybody so that they could join hands and build the party to enable them win future elections.
Looking at the PDP and APC lawmakers who were at the flag-off ceremony, Umeh said he was looking forward to them coming to join APGA, warning that if they do not come, he would lead the campaign to come and take their seats.
“If you come, you will go back. Since the Court of Appeal re-affirmed our leadership of APGA last Wednesday, I have been receiving calls from our people in Abuja indicating interest to join APGA. We will continue to work for our state,” he said.
Earlier, Obiano described the flag-off as a fulfilment of his promise to transform Awka into a modern state capital, adding that while they were flagging-off the three flyovers, Awka Capital Territory Development Authority would come up with a master plan that if followed, no city in Africa would be like Awka.
“In nine months, a shopping mall covering nine football pitches will be ready in Awka. In Awka, we are building a conference centre that will contain 5000 people. The place we removed five-star hotel going to Agulu, we will replace it with a five-star hotel. We want to make Awka a befitting capital that everybody will be proud of,” Obiano said.
He disclosed that every road in the capital city, both federal and state, would have street light, adding that by the time three of the roads were completed, Awka would look like Amsterdam.
Obiano, however, warned that if the people disturb the contractors handling the project, he would use knife and go after them.
