"APGA" Is Not Just A Political Party, It's A Pan-igbo Legacy And A Movement ~ by Agba Esther Makuochukwu

The APGA slogan 'nke a bụ nke anyị' is not just a saying, but a consolation in the fact that we, Ndigbo have that which we'd all fall back to at the end of the day - home.

APGA is not just a political party, it's a pan-Igbo legacy and a movement which should be supported by any well-meaning Igbo son or daughter. APGA is the Igbo narrative in the larger Nigerian political space.

During the era of Obasanjo's presidency, Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) was controlling Lagos.

Tinubu was the governor and the idea wasn't to join the PDP because she controlled more states, but to be identifiable to what was theirs.
Have you ever wondered how
Lagos state at that time, weathered the storm of months without federal allocation when the internally generated revenue was yet to assume a high level. That didn't bother him a bit.

How did he wrestle back the same zone from the stronghold of the same PDP in 2007 and went on to strengthen his hold on the politically sophisticated zone by 2011? And to summarize all the battles won, how did the ACN merge with other progressive parties in the mold of CPC and ANPP, both from the Northern fold, now giving the PDP sleepless nights?

These and many more questions has remained a sort of magic to political writers and social observers.

Just like Willie Obiano of APGA is in the eye of the storm today, a lot of lessons is to be learnt from Tinubu of yesteryears.

So, When they tell you to connect to the national power grid, tell them the story of Bola Tinubu. Lagos did it with Tinubu, Anambra can do it with Willie Obiano.

Umunne m, a vote for APGA in the forthcoming election is a vote that wouldn't go to waste. It remains a vote that would keep APGA from extinction, a vote of confidence on the igbo nation when we've clearly been looked over and neglected.

A vote for APGA will be a vote for our own bargaining chip among political parties and states in Nigeria.

The igbo brotherhood is nonnegotiable and every well meaning igbo patriot has begun to come home to this truth.

THE PDP ANAMBRA STATE GOVERNORSHIP PRIMARY ELECTION WAS A SHAM AND COMPLETE ILLEGALITY

As a loyal member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and one who stood by the party through thick and thin, my love for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) cannot be questioned. My immense contributions to the cause of the party, most especially during the last Presidential and General elections through the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria cannot be overemphasized. In the same vein, anyone who has a thorough understanding of Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah can attest to the fact that I am a man of uncommon national vision and passion for the development of the nation and general good of the masses, especially the less privileged. It is the burden of the developmental needs of Anambra state and my burning desire to meet and exceed the expectations of Anambrarians that has relentlessly driven me to contest for the Governorship position of Anambra state. However, until constitutional amendments are made, one is constrained to contest for such position under a party structure. In my case, ...

THE HANDSHAKE ACROSS THE NIGER A MOVEMENT LONG OVERDUE

Before the Nigeria independence, the Yorubas has been the greatest host of the Igbo tribes including their business empires and white collar hobs. Since I was born, I have never heard of any communal clash between this two great ethnic groups as their relationship keeps on soaring to greater height. Many of us with short historical knowledge, never knew that the independence we enjoy together as a nation was struggled and attained on a platter of The handshake across the Niger. How do I mean? The N.C.N.C that struggled and attained Nigeria's independence in 1960 was founded in 1944 by Late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, Herbert Olayinka Badmus Macaulay, Akintola and Michael Okpara and Nwafor Orizu of blessed memories , It was a combination of both ethnic effort of Yorubas, Midwest of Chief Okotie Eboh, Micheal Okpara and Nnamdi Azikiwe that made our independence possible. As at 1957, Nigeria was due for independence and the West and East were fully prepared but what delayed the independence ...
