We need to re-strategize for Igbo presidency – APGA leader
By Timothy Enietan-Matthews on April 8, 2015

Okwu, who was speaking in an interview with journalists in Awka, called for reconciliation and re-integration of founding and aggrieved members who had left APGA for other parties.

“If we decide to go back to those who founded the party, including Chief Chekwas Okorie, the Igboezue Group and the Igbo Delegate Assembly (IDA) in the North, among others, APGA will gain more grounds.


“The Igbo people need to embrace and split into two political parties of which APGA should be one and not just put all their eggs in one basket.”

Okwu faulted the agreement that APGA, under the leadership of Chief Victor Umeh, entered into an agreement with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), without a Memorandum of Understanding.

According to him, APGA’s loss in the March 28 elections, especially the National Assembly polls, was a self-inflicted injury, following the alliance between it and the PDP.

He said the alliance was a “betrayal of the visions of the founding fathers of APGA and the cardinal principle that the party shall field candidate in every presidential election’’.


“When I was elected as national chairman on April 11, 2013, I had planned to make APGA a third major party in Nigeria’s politics that will hold the balance of power between the APC and the PDP.”

He expressed confidence that if the leadership tussle between him and Umeh at the Supreme Court was decided in his favour, he would restore the lost glory of the party, noting that with the unseating of PDP as the country’s governing political party, an essential ingredient of genuine democracy had been fulfilled.

“I welcome with all enthusiasm ‘the change’ that occurred on March 28; it may not be the change we want or believe in, but there has been a change for the better.

“I am thrilled because for the past 16 years of civil rule, it has been years of the locust.

“There will now be competition among parties, vibrant and vigilant press as well as sensitive and responsive civil society, while citizens will jealously guard their freedom and rights.”

According to him, the PDP would win the April 11 governorship polls in 14 states, while APC and APGA would in 20 and 1 states respectfully.

When are they gonna start restrategising when they are currently mobilising votes against the incoming governing party?? How do they plan to achieve this dream without factoring in the Northern and South Western votes??

If I were APGA, I'd jump-start this presidential campaign by cutting some deal with Lagos APC, then start making some overtures towards northerners.

Politics is and would always be a game of numbers. The NE alone is gonna offset whatever figures that might be thrown up from the SS and SE, with the SW, NC and NW still in the kitty.

Think Igbos, think!

If u understand the post, for APC to be able to overturn PDP means anything can be possible afterwards.

Voters in the east are used to automatically thumb-stamping PDP regardless of PDP's perpetual failure.

I don't do ethnic/tribal bashing but for once I'll go against my nature and say "this is the most ridiculous thing they could have ever come up with" cheesy cheesy

The only presidency the SE can ever aspire to with their present political leanings and affiliations is that of the fed rep of biafra.

@omenka,
You are preaching to the choir,experience is the best teacher, until the se leaders really experience what it means to be in opposition, they are not likely to re orientate their people and preach the need for bridge building.

I laugh in ibo. Re strategise when you hate Yoruba and Hausa. Who will vote except your own. Biafra is the only way there can be an ibo presidency.
