LAGOS, Nigeria – All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) Youths from the 21 local government area of Anambra State on Friday staged a peaceful protest, calling on the national chairman of the party, Mr.  Victor Oye to use the party structure  in the conduct of the governorship primary, June 23,2021 .

The Youths leaders, Comrade Michael Anyaegbulem who addressed the party chieftains at the party office in Awka Anambra State said they were in the secretariat to tell the national chairman of the party to  ensure that  the party structures are used  in the conduct of the governorship primary in the state  .

According to him, APGA youths would not allow the United -Anambra  Youths Assembly U-UYA and United Anambra Women Assembly  U-UWA  to be   part of the delegates to determine  who become  the party  flag bearer  at the November 6 governorship election .

“We want free,  fair and credible  primary election  in  the selection of who flies  the APGA party ticket .

We don’t  want manipulation  in the process  to select flag bearer of the party,  so that  APGA will be united after the primary.  We don’t want the party to use U-AWA and U- AYA  in the delegates  list for the primary election.” he said

According to him, the national chairman is youth-friendly and would not do anything that would relegate  the youth to the background. He said that the national chairman had made it clear that the youths and the women will feature prominently in the governorship primary , noting that the youths are recognised as critical stakeholders in APGA .

According to Eziokwu , U-AWA and U- AYA   are only support groups of  the party ,saying that the party need them and  cannot throw  them away. U- AWA and U- AYA are support groups to the party ,we need them in the party and we cannot drive them away from the party ” he said .

U- AWA and U- AYA are APGA support group headed by the House member representing Anambra East and West at the Federal House of representative  Hon.
