Speaking to the ABS, Sir Willie who thanked God for giving the All Progressives Grand Alliance victory in the poll, said that the APGA’s triumph is a right choice by Ndi Anambra, and expressed hope that the Anambra state Governor-elect will make people of the state proud when he assumes office.

The Anambra state Principal Secretary, maintained that Professor Soludo is prepared to take the state to a greater height, calling on other states in Nigeria to emulate Anambra state in the selection of their leaders, as according to him, gone are the days when incompetent people wangle their ways into public offices.

In his speech, the Umueze APGA Ward One Chairman, Mr Chidiume Onuorah observed that APGA’s victory at the poll was possible following the ability of the

party to distinguish itself through equitable distribution of democracy dividends in the state over the years, and commended the Principal Secretary for immensely supporting Amawbia APGA, which according to him aided the party’s triumph in the Umueze ward one.
