ANAMBRA ELECTION, THIS IS OUR DECISION AS A PEOPLE.

Good morning our people, we wish you all a happy new week. This is another opportunity to look into our future, another chance to think of our state and a wonderful privilege to tell you our decision about next election, about our party and about the leaders we should elect on the Election Day. Some people said APGA is finished because of what Abuja politicians tell the media who doesn't have the first idea about the commitment and the passion of APGA Party members who are the true strength of our Party. We do not see a party on its knees as  we draw closer to the next year’s election, we  see a Party ready to fight, a party that will fight and win the fight to give Ndi Igbo better leaders and better representatives at the senate, house of reps and house of assembly. We are determined and we must work to ensure that their plot of annihilating our dear party does not work out for them. They rode on the back of the party to fame and fortunes, today they want it dead, but we shall not allow that to happen. We are APGA, we are out to fight for the liberation of our people politically, but whilst we have not been able to do all that we wanted - we have achieved much and we remain optimistic for the future. With Sir Victor Umeh who has been a constant source of strength and support to APGA since the registration of the party in 2002, and is keeping faith and living the Ojukwu's dream, we can win all the elections to be held in Anambra and beyond. I know you haven't given up, you are fired up; let us prove the Abuja politicians wrong, and our vision right. Let us keep Anambra APGA. I know we are up to the task, I know that we can do it, we will do it. APGA is the kind of change that helps to make Anambra a better and fairer place.

I said last month, and I will say it again, that though we have opted to support Mr. President for his second ambition, but bear in mind we cannot do that at the expense of our party. We shall vote Mr. President and not those politicians hiding in his shadow to deceive the people. Yes, we stood against them then, as we stand against them now; we cannot support political hitchhikers who always seek a way to deceive and get the people support them after which they disappear to thin air, never to pick their calls again, we cannot vote them. We cannot support those people that now masquerade as agent of change who are actually inhibitors of transformation; we will support Mr. President no doubt, but we have rejected to vote those political opportunists seeking to sail through with him to the Senate and House of Reps.

Before you hit the street to campaign for those people who  are incumbents in the legislative hall at Abuja and Awka,  I want you to ask them how many bills they have sponsored or co-sponsored that they hope will change your lives.  Tomorrow they will ask you to vote them that experience counts, if they say that, ask them experienced in what?  In redundancy of course, mastery in keeping a criminal silence when issues that affects Ndi Igbo is being debated on the floor of the house just because their party doesn’t permit them to talk? What caused our incumbent Senator to lose the office of minority leader? This is not the right time for that issue; we are coming up with so many conspiracies by APC and PDP apologists against Ndi Igbo that disqualifies them from getting our votes again, except in presidency.

On election day we shall vote PDP for Presidency since that is the wish of majority of our party men, but after that  we shall put a full stop, and Vote APGA for the remaining election, Yes we must vote APGA a because that vision to emancipate our people. We shall vote the President in PDP, but as we do so let us keep reflecting and asking necessary questions as Ndi Igbo.  Think of Igbo man’s political situation this way: H.E Alex Ekwueme was the Vice to Shagari, after their first four years in power, the military struck in their second tenure because they saw Ekwueme becoming a president after his principal. The same Ekwueme co-founded PDP, but was disgraced at Jos convention, not because he was unqualified to be the president but largely because he is Onye Igbo. Today our people just support for supporting sake without negotiating what gets to us. We do not have the president, we do not have the vice, we do not have the Senate president, and we do not have the Speaker House of Reps, so what do we have for supporting? When did our brothers negotiate our stake in this whole arrangement? Is this the way Zik , Micheal Okpara , Akanu Ibiamed, Sam Mbakwe etc led us through thick and thin? The answer is no. APGA is not like the opposition parties who seek to win votes by cynically making promises they had no intention of keeping, we have the team to do what we said we will do, we will do it, and we are already planning for its execution even though the election holds on February. These genuine leaders were fired by the zeal to serve the people, they stood by their word; but nowadays these men who parade themselves as the leaders they are not are fired by the urge to get an oil well rather than the zeal to secure a fairer deal for Ndi Igbo. That was the reason why even after voting en mass close to nothing is the share of Ndi Igbo.  APGA is the only platform to stand on and bargain for a fairer deal for Ndi Igbo. That’s why we have to fight now to ensure that those people that can facilitate creation of jobs for Nigerians Wins next year's election. The Party APGA today has more to fight for than ever. We owe the young people of Nigeria today jobs and works to do to earn a decent living that is why there is so much at stake in the next year's election.  We owe it to the youths to fight for every vote, to fight together to win the next election and to build a fairer Nigeria where one can finish from college and be absorbed in a lucrative job, these are our visions, and they are our hope and the reason why you should stand behind APGA. We said we will do it, YES WE WILL BECAUSE WE ARE APGA AND WE ARE YOU! KEEP SUPPORTING APGA.

PRO APGA FRONT.
