The national leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Soludo, has called on party loyalists to engage actively in the electoral process ahead of the local government elections scheduled for September 28, 2024.
Governor Soludo made the call during a mega rally held at Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka at the weekend.
Speaking during the rally, Governor Soludo emphasized the importance of grassroots participation in shaping the future of the state while restating his administration’s commitment to consolidating the party.
With 21 local government areas set to participate, the elections are expected to be fiercely contested, with multiple parties vying for key positions.
“It is evident that APGA is Anambra, and Anambra is APGA. The conduct of the local government election is a promise made and a promise kept, even though many did not believe it during the campaigns. We promised to build the institutional mechanism and legal framework.”
“APGA is Anambra, and Anambra is APGA. This is a promise made and a promise kept,” he added, reflecting on the party’s historical significance.
“Under the leadership of Barr. Sly Ezeokenwa, APGA remains united and resolute. Our mission is to bring peace and stability to our nation, and we are ready to engage in national discourse,” he added.
Governor Soludo further revealed that about nine political parties are participating in the elections, but only APGA has fielded candidates in all elective positions.
“APGA remains intact and one united, indivisible, strong political party under the chairmanship of Barr. Sly Ezeokenwa. We have a task and mission to bring peace and stability to the country, and we are ready to contribute to national discussions.
“We are ready to partner with everyone. We are moving to the next stage of local government administration in Anambra State,” the Governor added.
On his part, State Chairman of the party, Barr. Ifeatu Obiokoye, reiterated the party’s commitment to rally support.
Also speaking, former National Chairman of APGA, Dr. Victor Oye, emphasized the strength of the party, urging members to maintain focus amid the political landscape.
