Stakeholders Happy With Emergence Of Soludo As APGA Guber Flagbearer

The emergence of Professor Chukwuma Soludo as the flag bearer of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, for the November 6th governorship election in Anambra State did not come as a surprise to most political observers.

Professor Soludo, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, garnered seven hundred and forty votes out of seven hundred and ninety-two votes cast at the APGA primary election to emerge victorious.

It is this overwhelming nature of Soludo’s victory that most observers say, remains a major scare for other candidates who would be vying in the governorship election.

When the rains depart and winter sets in, Ndị Anambra would anticipate a new number one citizen having enjoyed eight years of Governor Willie Obiano’s administrative excellence.

At the just-held primary election of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, many insisted that a choice other than Professor Chukwuma Soludo would take Anambra State to the political Stone Age.

The renowned economist and former teacher of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, won the delegates’ votes by eighty-four percent, defeating three other contestants to lay hands on the opportunity that eluded him in 2014 and 2017.

Lending his voice to the conversation, the Speaker, Anambra State House of Assembly, Right Honourable Uchenna Okafor, said that Professor Soludo represents uniqueness, a symbol that APGA as a political party has modeled for close to two decades.

On what the primary election meant for the future of the party, the member representing Njikoka Two Constituency at the Anambra State House of Assembly, Sir Pete Ibida and the Managing Director of Anambra State Signage and Advertisement Agency, Chief Jude Emecheta, said that APGA is more of family than political movement, noting that the orderliness and peaceful nature of the primary election is a hallmark of fraternal love that exists in the party.

For the Director General of Youth Mobilization, Technology and Innovation, Anambra State, Mr Emeka Okonkwo and the Convener of Youths Earnestly Seek Soludo, Dr Nelson Omenugha, with Professor Soludo as Governor, Anambra youths have secured a guaranteed future, stating that active mobilization of the youths has already been arranged to ensure that he emerges victorious in the November election.
