APGA Delegates, Please….Don’t forget so Soon
By Cynthia Igbokwe
2021 Gubernatorial election in Anambra state was indeed a trial period for every known politician in the state. Most of the politicians left politicking to safer camps. And some others dared, to scamper for safety during campaigns, while others abandoned campaigns and relocated to more safety zones with their families.
Bringing this down to my constituency, Awka North and South Federal Constituency, my question to all the candidates vying for, particularly, House of Representatives is, where were you during the last gubernatorial election in Anambra state?
How are we sure that when APGA gives you a flag you will not decamp to another party after the election?
If as an Aspirant, you left the state when the heat was too high on a perceived health basis, how can you prove us wrong that, you will not abandon our constituency seat in the Green Chambers and move to one hospital in China or America?
I am still contemplating why those who relocated with their families abroad, left all the contestants to their faith when they were needed most.
Then, Anambra was about drowning, the sequel to chants of war in every nook and cranny of the state.
There is a saying that ” when two elephants fight, the grasses suffer”.
Now, the 2023 general election is fast approaching, and some of those who abandoned the party during such an important election like the gubernatorial, are aspiring to be the party Flagbearer, What will be the faith of APGA should they get the ticket?
We can’t forget so soon all those who left the party and even the state when the heat was very high. Can we also forget so soon all those who were willing to lay down their lives to ensure the People’s candidate emerges or those who left the party for white elephant promises?
” …Dear APGA Awka North and South Delegates, Consider the Masses while voting your choice Aspirant as a candidate”
My dear delegates in Awka North and South Federal constituency, having narrowed it down constructively to my constituency. I want to appeal to you to answer these questions for your would-be candidates and know who fits in to be APGA Flagbearer for the House of Representatives for Awka North and South Federal constituency. The same goes for other constituencies.
However, if you ask me a sequel to my findings and investigations, as well as my study of all the candidates, I have painstakingly done justice to those questions and I found that only 2 candidates deserve the APGA flag, from Awka South Constituency A and B, especially when nobody is contesting from Awka North.
But based on equity, justice and fairness, Awka South Constituency B (Obizi) should be considered most. Awka South constituency A had it all this while without anyone from Awka South constituency B smelling such exalted political position.
Let me plead with you my dear APGA stakeholders and Ward executives to scrutinize these candidates from the same Lens as I do, you will be left with no option but to choose the People’s candidate, High Chief Dr Azubuike Ekweozor, (Ide Umuawulu, Nwanayoeze.)
Ide Umuawulu ensured that APGA emerged in Obizi victoriously, hence laying down all he has for the party.
Though this is my opinion, I think most people are thinking in this direction that High Chief Dr Azubuike Ekweozor is the only “Sure Bet” for APGA to win 💯 in Awka North and South Federal constituency.
