APGA says no preference for Soludo during primaries
ONITSHA, Anambra, Nigeria – National Coordinator of All Progressive Grand Alliance APGA Media Warriors’ Forum, Chinedu Obigwe, has assured that the party’s primary would be free, fair and credible. Obigwe , in a statement on Tuesday , also allayed the fear that the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN , Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has been endorsed as the sole candidate of the party in race.
“The conduct of a free and fair primary election in APGA for the November 6th governorship election is inevitable. Those talking about a plan to impose Soludo as the party’s candidate are deceiving themselves. Politics is a game of horse trading and that is what is currently going on in APGA ahead of the party primary election.
“The only thing is that the governor’s foot soldiers are not happy with those that want to play spoilers’ role game against the party in the November 6th governorship election hence the reason why they are doing the needful to checkmate them” he said .
According to him, no stone would be left unturned in ensuring that the pretenders masquerading to be governorship aspirants in APGA are put to shame.
He said “APGA is poised to retain Anambra State by clinching a landslide victory in the forthcoming November 6th governorship election.
“There is no plan to impose Soludo as APGA candidate for the November 6th election and my advice to those peddling the false rumour is to stop deceiving themselves. They have seen the handwriting on the wall and want to use unfounded imposition allegation as a reason for their already foreseen failure.
“Our embers should be rest assured that APGA will conduct a free and fair primary election that will be devoid of manipulation for the November 6th governorship election.”
