A Chieftain of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA Barrister Ifeatu Obi-Okoye has stressed the need for the building of an all-inclusive APGA in Anambra State where every member will be treated with love.

 

Barrister Obi-Okoye, a Legal Adviser of the party and Special Adviser on Political Affairs, to former Governor Willie Obiano stated this during a Media chat in Awka, on his intention to run for the post of the state chairman of the party.

Tracing his political journey back to 1982 when he was elected the State Deputy leader of the then Nigerian People’s Party, his sojourn as the member that represented Idemili North Local Government Area at the Anambra state House of Assembly in 1983, his election as the state Secretary of the Social Democratic Party in 1991, his emergence as the Deputy state chairman of PDP in 2002 and later joined the All Progressives Grand Alliance in 2013, where he held many positions including the Special Adviser to former Governor Obiano, Barrister Obiokoye said he has garnered experiences to ensure that APGA is more united as one family.

According to him, during his tenure as the acting State Chairman under PDP, he led the election that brought former Governor Chris Ngige, and played a major role in the elections that gave APGA landslide victory in the re-election for a second term of former Governor Obiano and election of Governor Chukwuma Soludo respectively.

 

Barrister Obiokoye explained that he already mapped out strategies for the improvement of the party by having plans to take the party to the next level, create cooperative model of empowerment, reconciling aggrieved party members, creating avenue to raise money for the funding of the party, introducing corporate business and entrepreneurship among others.

He stressed the need for the incoming leadership of the party to be committed to strengthening the party’s unity, discipline and work ethics, calling on the party faithful to give him the needed support to serve the party at the state level where he will work with the national executive to take APGA to an enviable height.

 

While commending the National Chairman of the party, Dr Victor Oye for what he described as forthright and dexterous manner in which he has piloted affairs of the party, Barrister Obiokoye also commended the state chairman of the party, Sir Nobert Obi for working together with the National Executive of the party despite distractions from unscrupulous elements.
