Charles Soludo, the governor of Anambra state and the national leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, has reassured supporters that the party will undoubtedly win the Imo governorship race in November as campaigning for the election heats up.

When Tony Ejiogu, the APGA’s candidate for governor of Imo state, arrived to the Anambra state government House in Awka, Soludo made the comment.

You’ll concur with me that Imo State has been an APGA stronghold, said Soludo. Also from the State are the majority of our founding fathers. APGA is Imo, and Imo is APGA. We have had difficulties in the past, but as a party, we have persevered. It’s time to take Imo back with the help of our tenacity and reliability.

Also speaking, APGA’s national chairman, Sylvester Ezeokenwa, said the party was in high hopes to retrieve its mandate in Imo while noting that there have been remarkable differences in APGA in the State, as it fielded a transparent candidate who has become a model for future candidates, whose qualifications is not shielded in secrecy.

He noted: “Remain steadfast to the tenets of the party, your coming onboard has brought high expectations. You’ll champion a new Imo. Looking at you, I see a glorious day in Imo. God will strengthen you”.

On his part, Ejiogu thanked the party’s leadership for creating the enabling environment to ensure that those with proven track records can take part in governance, and promised not to betray the trust; while also soliciting the support of the party hierarchy to succeed in his quest to emerge victorious in Imo State.

“APGA is the first Party to be registered with the word “progressives” in its name. Others see other parties as a political platform to win elections but in APGA, we believe in true federalism with a mandate, core value, framework, and structure to move the nation forward.”

He expressed optimism in the victory of APGA in Imo State while noting that the herculean task of defeating an incumbent is achievable as evidenced by the massive support the party has enjoyed in the past in Imo where it won elections.

According to him, APGA has shown and demonstrated its commitment to the development and progress of Imo State through a credible candidate, Tony Ejiogu, and urged the electorate to come out en masse and support the party.

Soludo, who also received other governorship candidates of the party, including Idoko Kingsley Ilonah from Kogi and Hon. Subiri Waibodei from Bayelsa state reiterated that APGA remains the only party in Nigeria that has shown empathy, passion, and genuine interest in improving the life of the citizens.

APGA ready to reclaim Imo, says Soludo
