Ojukwu’s Name Won’t Save APGA, Says Anambra APC Gov Aspirant by meglith(m): 2:37pm On Feb 08, 2017 |
governorship aspirant in Anambra state, Dr. Tony Nwoye, has said the antics of the All Progressives Grand Alliance in using the name of the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu to deceive the electorate during elections would not save APGA in this year’s election. Nwoye, who plans to contest on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, said the claim that APGA belonged to the Igbo had become clear to all to be a misrepresentation and grand deceit. Speaking with newsmen at Nsugbe in Anambra East Local Government Area, after registering as a member of the APC in his ward, the 2013 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party asked Governor Willie Obiano to start writing his handover notes as the APC had determined to take over the state in this year. He said, “They (APGA people) have been whipping up the propaganda that APC is not an Igbo party, but when we get to the field, we will tell our people the truth. “Let them stop using Ojukwu’s name to deceive our people. They have used APGA as Ojukwu’s party to rob the Igbo people. “If APGA is truly an Igbo party, why is it that up till now, it is only in Anambra State that it has formed government? “Why is it that in the national assembly, only two are APGA and out of 109 senators, none is APGA? Why is it that since the time of Ojukwu, who they claim is the symbol of APGA, they could not win one single state outside Anambra? “They have been using it to hold our people down; to siphon our money and we must stop it. Nwoye, who is currently a House of Representative member representing Anambra East, West and Oyi, said his joining the APC was already bringing dividends of democracy from the Federal Government to the state. He said, “Keeping the state in APGA will continue to set the state backwards. “We are going to add more money on the N14b already budgeted for the second Niger Bridge. I personally ensured that the Enugu-Onitsha expressway, especially the Umunya axis, was captured on the 2017 budget. “Iam happy that about N8bn will be appropriated for Anambra section of the expressway this year. This is a road that had claimed many lives. This is aroad that different administrations in the past had campaigned with and failed to do anything. “The same applies to Anam – Kogi road, which is in my constituency. If completed, it will positively impact on the lives of Anambra West people and I thank God that through the efforts of the chairman of works committee, which I am a member, N1bn has been earmarked for its construction, after it was abandoned for over five years. “These things would not have been possible if we are not in APC.” Source : www.punchng.com 2 Likes |

Only a crazy person or someone who is hoping to use federal might to rig elections will think that a highly unpopular party in Igbo land such as APC will win my home state of Anambra. 4 Likes |

APC should just forget anambra... these politicians just want to siphon election funds from the centre... PDP has a much higher chance. If Ipob could order a sit at home on a friday (a business day) among ibo business men & women and it was followed.. even with (their jonathan as president) pdp lost, even lagos cant achieve that feat with OPC.. i think this is a lost cause.. You cant win it all.. penetrate through other states before thinking of anambra. 2 Likes |

NgeneUkwenu: Is obiano doing such a bad job? Why is it that he is being ganged up against? I don't believe in TV, online only ipob reports or newspaper politics but rather I always like to find out the views of people who actually live in the states and witness the progress with their own eyes! It seems the obiano is a media governor because he is always making outlandish claims of achievements in the press! 1 Like |

NgeneUkwenu: The way he treated the IPOB shootings might be his undoing. Had he condemned the shooting of unarmed people and visited the victims on hospital, that would have been enough. Obiano miscalculated on that one but what might save him is the fact that most Anambarians would rather see him returned than return to the dark days of PDP. APC hasnt got any chance in Anambra unless they employ federal might to rig elections. 1 Like |
