destiny in our hands and ensure that we elect
the right person. I thank all the various
groups that have endorsed me, and I want to
invite all of you to come out boldly and do
this battle with us.

to dictate for us who should be our leaders.
We have special packages for all sectors and
groups in the state and we urge you to
continue to support us”.
Chief Victor Umeh who introduced Obiano
said, “Igbos have agreed on what we will do,
and that includes choosing our own leaders by
ourselves. Igbos must stand up and speak
with one voice, let us not allow people to
come from wherever to choose leaders for us.
“APGA is the party for the Igbos, just as APC
is the party of the Yorubas”.

the late leader of the party who represented
his father called on the people not to despair.

Obi’s enforce to enthrone Obiano who has
been thoroughly scrutinized by the party.
“We believe that after his tenure, willie Obiano will
reciprocate our support by choosing a good
leader for us. My father; Ikemba Nnewi chose
Obi, and he has not disappointed us;
now Obi wants to give us a man who will
carry on with his vision and we must support
him”.
