“We want to use this opportunity to tell the PDP and APC to surrender to APGA because we have no vacancy at the government house Awka because our party has been in the saddle for almost sixteen years.

You know that it was under the PDP government that a sitting governor was kidnapped and that was the beginning of kidnapping in Anambra state and it was under the same PDP that Anambra state was burnt down during the mayhem and the same people that burnt down the government house Awka want to go back to the government house which took the APGA government sixteen years to rebuild, he said.
