Aba – LEADER of All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, leader, Dim Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, who is recuperating in a London hospital, weekend, expressed strong hope that the party would win next month’s election in Abia State and restore the glory and dignity of Aba as one of the pride of Ndigbo. Ojukwu also expressed joy in the calibre of candidates the party has in the state.
The Ikemba Nnewi spoke through the National Chairman of the party, Chief Victor Umeh at the flag off of Reagan Ufomba’s governorship campaign in the state.
According to Ojukwu, the suffering period of Abia people is over as APGA will wipe away their tears soon.
In the message, the APGA leader said: ”I am with you people in spirit and I will soon come back to be with you, and I hope you remember how close I am with the people of Aba.
“I want to reassure you the good people of Aba that I will soon be back to see you people and I hope you remember how close we are, and how you gave me your support during those good days. I want you to shine your eyes during the elections so that you do not vote for the wrong people again.”
Ojukwu called on the people of the state to vote for the candidates of APGA if they wanted true changes, lamenting that the states that were created with Abia years ago had all over taken it in development, while Abia was still living in the past, with no hope of progressing.
The national chairman of the party, Chief Umeh, in his remarks, regretted that“the way I met Aba in 1980 when I visited as a student from Nsukka, there had been no changes and this shows that the people who have been at the helm of affairs have no vision, but APGA will change that from May 29 this year.”
Why we adopted Jonathan
On why APGA adopted President Goodluck Jonathan for the Presidency, Umeh said: “We looked at all the presidential candidates and saw that it is only President Jonathan that has all it takes to help the people of Igbo race since he is our neighbour.”
