"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.

AFA IGBO AMA EFU

A call on Chief Felix Idiga (JAFAC), a man who has gone far ahead of his time to take up leadership positions

For the last couple of years, The Mo Ibrahim Foundation which annually confers the most outstanding leader award to African leaders who have distinguished themselves in the art of leadership, has refused to confer the award on any of the present African leaders reason as cited by the foundation is that none of them is worthy. But, does this translate that they're dearths of leaders in African? Read on. It's true that leadership in Africa is currently being led by those whom political profiteering has become an unquenchable vision- Men whose drive is their personal enrichment; the prosperity of the nation becomes a lesser issue to that of themselves. It's also true, that Africa has obscured their best men from assuming leadership positions. Men who have created wealth and jobs for their communities without being in an elective leadership position. Men whose fecundity is unquestionable and whose loyalty lies always with the people. Men to whom leadership is natural ha...

ANAMBRA PDP PRIMARY: Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah heads to court.

Barely three weeks after the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) conducted its governorship primary in Anambra State, one of the aspirants, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah, yesterday questioned the credibility of the primary and vowed to achieve justice in the court of law. Addressing newsmen in Abuja, Ubah accused the leaders of the party of using fake delegates’ list to conduct the primary, adding that the certified copy of the list he got from Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was different from what was used at the primary. Kicking against the primary, the Chairman of Capital oil described it as a show of shame, adding that Oseloka Obaze, who was declared winner, was never given a waiver by the party National Executive Committee (NEC). Ubah, who said that he has exhausted all internal mechanism of the party, added that “I think it is the court that can address the situation now. We are going to court and if ...
