Chief Ben Obi Says APGA Is The Only Hope For Ndigbo

By Ejike Abana

The Director General of Inter-Party Office, Anambra State, and Chieftain of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Ben Obi has called on Ndigbo to embrace the platform of the party in executing elections in the South East region.

Chief Obi made the call in Awka on Thursday, 18th February, 2021, while speaking with journalists on national issues. He said that, “APGA is a movement, a vehicle bequeathed to Ndigbo by late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, therefore we need to keep on supporting it”.

Continuing, he said that, “Charity begins at home. With what is happening in Nigeria today, insecurity and marginalisation of Ndigbo, it’s important for Ndigbo to have an address, build and support a regional party like APGA through which we can pursue our various political aspirations”.

On the party’s preparations for the November 6th, 2021 Anambra Gubernatorial election, Chief Obi expressed satisfaction with the support APGA has received in Anambra state the last 15 years. “Governor Peter Obi did well as two-term APGA governor. Ndi Anambra resoundingly voted in Governor Willie Obiano in 2013, they also elected him for a second term in 2017 based on exceptional performance. We are confident that Ndi Anambra will continue along this trajectory of good governance and vote in the APGA candidate come November 2021”.

He called on APGA faithful in the state to remain steadfast and continue with the ongoing massive grassroot mobilization.
