It was a triumphant entry of a bold and courageous warrior. Just
recently, over fifty thousand persons gathered at the Civic Centre in Agulu to
endorse Chief (Sir) Victor Umeh as their candidate of choice for the Anambra
Central Senatorial election.
People from the four wards and the twenty-two villages that
make up Agulu trouped out en masse to Agulu Civic Centre to receive Umeh.
Speakers that spoke at the event echoed that if not for Chief
Victor Umeh's support for their son, Peter Obi, Agulu people will not be
boasting today of producing a governor of Anambra State. They also said that
his achievements at the national conference set him apart from other
candidates.
One of the speakers explained that Agulu and Aguluizigbo
which is home town of Chief Victor Umeh are brothers, and stated clearly that
they will not leave their brother and support another person.
In admiration, the Present-General of Agulu People's Union
represented by Chief Leo Okeke thanked Chief Victor Umeh for standing behind
their son, Chief Peter Obi all through his eight years as the governor of
Anambra State.
In his speech, the President-General emeritus of Agulu
People's Union, Chief Azubuike Okoye, the Odenigbo Agulu who is also the APGA
candidate for Anocha 1 State Constituency, recalled the exploits of Chief
Victor Umeh at the National Confab. He recalled that it was through the
agitations of Umeh that the Confab adopted the resolution to change the revenue
sharing formula on the basis of number of local governments to the basis of
states. He described Chief Victor Umeh as a man who has worked so much for the
advancement of Ndigbo and Nigeria in general.
Also the Motorcycle Transport Union of Nigeria, Anaocha Chapter endorsed Chief Victor Umeh saying he is their candidate for the Senate, Anambra Central.
