APGA Defends Jonathan’s Adoption As Its 2015 Aspirant by S3un(m): 7:39am On Oct 30, 2014
On Tuesday Victor Umeh who is the
National Chairman of the All
Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA)
defended the adoption of Goodluck
Jonathan, as sole aspirant in the
2015 presidential election.
Earlier in August APGA stated that it would support
the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate Jonathan in
the coming presidential race.
Speaking on a lecture “Towards a
successful 2015 election: The role of
the opposition” Umeh marked that since there
was no Igbo contesting for the president, it would
be a waste of time aligning with the All Progressives
Congress, APC.
He said:
“We have been lampooned and
condemned because we are
supporting President Jonathan – let
me tell you quite frankly, until we lead
our people on the right track we are
wasting our time.”
Mr. Umeh explained that in supporting Jonathan the
party had to look at the dynamics of politics in
Nigeria with total reflection on the journey of the
Igbos.
“Jonathan has shown respect for the
Igbos even if he has challenges
running the affairs of the country,
most of which are man-made. APGA
has no apologies for supporting
President Jonathan – what we offer is
constructive criticism.”
The APGA national chairman says that APGA is a
distinct political party which cannot be an appendage
of another political party.
He added that the term “opposition” is
misleading – in Nigeria citizens assume that once
you are not in government you must be opposing
government.
“You must not oppose government all
the time if you are not in government.
In developed countries (opposition
parties) means those who are not in
government but are interested in
government.”
Mr. Umeh says “There are those who
believe that not being in government
but being objectively critical will help
the government to serve the people
better, and there are those who
believe that in not being part of
government, anything the government
does is bad.”

Do they have any quality candidate to present before ? A party that call themselves opposition yet can't find one single person to contest for President , that shows that they are unserious set of party. For the next 100 years , they will always be a55 licker for the sitting president .
