Governor Willie Obiano says the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, will win the November sixth 2021 gubernatorial election in the state with a greater margin in each of the twenty-one local government areas than it did in the November seventeen 2018 polls which returned the party to office.
Governor Obiano, who communicated this enthusiasm in a letter to APGA members and leaders, congratulated them on the successful congress in the state which produced the party’s flag bearer for the election.
In the letter released to newsmen in Awka by the State Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr C. Don Adinuba, Governor Obiano speaks highly of the former Central Bank governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, who scored ninety-three-point four percent of the almost eight hundred valid votes cast at the congress.
Governor Obiano, who is both the leader of the party and its Board of Trustees chairman, said that the choice of Professor Soludo could not have been better.
According to the Governor, Professor Soludo is an excellent brand, and a globally recognized economist who was one of the few global thought leaders around the world invited by the United Nations to help reform the world economic system following the 2008 global recession.
He recalled that Soludo, became a full professor at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, in his thirties and is currently leading the Anambra Vision 2070 Committee which is fashioning out a strategy for Anambra’s emergence as a fully developed economy in the next fifty years.
The governor dismissed recent media reports speculating that APGA could be disqualified from the November sixth governorship election, saying that the reports were planted in strategic places in top newspapers just to weaken APGA, and prevent it from participating in the election.
The Governor said that it is not possible to exclude APGA because the party acts in conformity with the law and judicial pronouncements, adding that there is no propaganda party opponents did not use in the effort to stop him, including allegations that the first family of Anambra state was against Soludo.
Chief Obiano appealed to APGA members, especially the defeated gubernatorial aspirants, to remain committed to the party’s unity, to enable them win the gubernatorial election with over ninety-three percent, as APGA has become a mass movement amongst Ndi Anambra.
He expressed hope that Professor Soludo will do far better than all previous governors of Anambra State, including himself.
