THE STORY 

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has said it will take over leadership from All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo state in the next General Elections.

 APGA Leader in Imo State, Chief Martin Agbaso stated this at Rojenny Tourist Garden, Oba, Idemmili South during a courtesy call to Ogirishi Igbo Foundation .

Agbaso said that APGA must take back Imo and all states in the South-East in the next election, ``We must APGA-rize the whole South-East’’.

He however urged Federal and state governments to put concerted efforts to achieve a viable economic and industrial revolution within the South-East.

  

He noted that God had blessed the Igbo-man with wisdom of industry and hard work but there was a need for the governments to provide enabling environment to tap this great natural endowment.

``We must reposition our people to tap and survive from the natural endowment God had blessed us with.

``And an average Igbo-man is industrious and very hardworking.

``What we need is that those things that matter, which concerns us, especially the issue of the economic we would never been taken for granted on it in the country.

``And we, Ndi-Igbo, must evolve politics of economic and industrial development to fast-track the development of our people and create jobs in the South-East,’’ he said.

Agbaso noted that the South-East must be re-invigorated to start mass production in all ramifications no matter how small, even if it is multiple cottage industries.

``With this we would effectively check capital flight in the zone.

``We must produce for other zones and countries to buy and then we would add value to our industry and hard work,’’ he said.

Responding, the Ogirishi Igbo of Igbo-land, Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, said that APGA remains the voice of the South-East; while every Igbo-man must identify with APGA to have a self-identity in the country.

``APGA is the only platform the people from the South-East have to negotiate within the Nigeria project.

``And we must not loss our own and be a people that will not be counted within the political scheme of the country,’’ Ezeonwuka, who is an Ohanaze chieftain, said.

Chief David Igwilo, the Ochinana Nnewi and Anaedo, assured Agbaso that Anambra APGA would mobilize to take over Imo just as the party took over power in the state in the last governorship election.

``We will support you, follow you in this fight and carry the entire machinery of APGA in Anambra to Imo and once more rescue the state back to the party,’’ Igwilo, who is an APGA Chieftain, said.
