As the 2015 general elections approach, the All
Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has vowed to stop those they dubbed Abuja
politicians who come home to pick the party’s ticket and after winning the
election, disappear back to Abuja.
Instead, the party said it is ready to go house to house
and beg those they believe will not only remember them after the election but
also deliver democracy dividend when the time comes.
This was the decision of two different groups within the party on Sunday, which endorsed the National Chairman of the Party, Victor Umeh for Anambra Central Senatorial District and former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Dubem Obaze, for Anambra North.
The latest endorsement of Sir Victor Umeh came from the
highest political group in the Anambra Central Senatorial Zone led by Hon Emeka
Onuorah, the Executive Chairman of Njikoka Local Government.
While the Anambra Central Political Forum of the party
endorsed Umeh in a well-attended meeting at Njikoka Local Government Area Headquarters,
Abagana, former local government chairmen in the State desire Obaze as their
candidate, and that was expressed through their state co-ordinator, Goddy Eze,
in Awka,
Eze said Obaze, having served the state diligently as
commissioner when he transformed the local government system, he deserved to be
rewarded with the Senatorial seat, more so when it is acknowledged that he
cannot disappoint the people.
Eze said Obaze is one person who can create “something
out of nothing” and who is a mobilizer and master strategist, it will not be
difficult to see how he easily the people’s choice.
According to him, “Obaze is somebody who should be
emulated, a home breed and a man who believes that people should be happy while
they work.
He said further: “He is a pragmatic person. He initiated
all the projects that were executed at the 21 local government areas in the
state.”
