When we went around Anambra state
a year ago asking you all to vote and support APGA, it was in a mood of optimism
and expectation. The months that has passed since March 17 has fully justified
that mood and proved that our future as a people is imbedded in APGA policies;
are still scared of driving your good cars around for fear of Kidnappers? No,
it is a justification of that great mood. We congratulate all those who have
contributed to that solid achievement in security sector, particularly the
governor for his determination to succeed with us. If ever there was a time, we
know when the APGA should be riding high, that time is now; “Ndi Igbo Ndi Ozo” think
and choose to be part of the movement to bring about the changes we seek.
We want the APGA faithful to be
altogether tougher and more determined force. I want us to be a crusading and
campaigning movement, not an academic think-tank. We recognize the risks that in the course of
our journey we may lose some of the passengers to “love for money” and otherwise,
don’t mind the risks so long as we arrive at the end of it reasonably intact
and ready to achieve our goals. Do not mind some political hitchhikers we
picked up, they are the ones alighting so that APGA shall effectively work and
deliver for you because our party doctrine carry conviction, courage, principle
and foresight in full measure to do so.
Imagine what played out at the
National Assembly yesterday. What a grim picture those men present to the rest
of the world? Tired, shoddy and
mean-spirited a picture which made all Nigerian issues the uglier because
neither the PDP nor the APC opposition hold out any prospect that they can solve
our problems, APGA cannot and will never support such rascality and lawlessness
in high places. Those Legislators cannot disguise the fact that this set of
legislators has proved a total failure to the nation; imagine an honourable
member scaling fencing as a common thief!
They first turned their backs on
those who elected them, now they have caused the whole nation an unspeakable embarrassment;
will they still had the nerve to claim that the people are behind them? They have
portrayed themselves as hooligans and must be changed. Nigerians, if you all do not come to your senses
these people who have nothing to offer us would generate another decade of
failure and national humiliation after all these years of mismanagement of our
common wealth which have destroyed the confidence most of you have in Nigeria.
With what played out yesterday, fellow Nigerians, we have arrived at one of the
most important stages in the history of the country Nigeria. If you believe that
the future of this country largely depends upon the foresight, conviction,
courage and devotion to principle of nationhood, then all those legislators
must be stopped come next election, do not spare any of them because they are
unworthy of representing Nigeria.
Electing APGA Leaders such as Senators
and governors in ENUGU, EBONYI, ANAMBRA, IMO, ABIA, RIVERS and DELTA will
represent the last and best hope civil and focused leadership in those states
and delegate legislators who will not scale fencing to the Nigerian people, achieving
this task now depend upon creating a common purpose in which everyone of you
out there has a part to play, I am on my own role, please play your part. If we do not want another set of broken
promises followed by the usual search for scapegoats as has been the culture of
PDP and APC, support APGA to win in your Senatorial zone. Our being able to win these states depends
upon us defining clearly what it is that we are trying to achieve and enlisting
the help of every man and woman in these states in our shared hope for the
future. Men such as Otti is in Abia, as Rtd. Captain Iheanacho is in Imo, all
working to liberate those states, why stand beside and look? The challenge is
daunting. It is a challenge to new leadership and new imagination from both the
electorates and aspirants. Instead of criticizing PDP’s failure in Abia, we
must contribute by providing Abians an alternative in APGA. Instead of shouting
on the sidelines in Imo after Rochas made away with our mandate, we must take
over the game by supporting Rtd. Captain Iheanacho and his team in APGA. It is
possible, we must do it for Ndi Igbo, Ndi South East and South South, and for
Nigerian sake we must do it, Support APGA to end these National and International Embarrassments that
APC and PDP leaders offer you.
PRO APGA FRONT.
