Umeh Explains APGA’s Taproot Which Was Uprooted Today

 

Unknown to the National Chairman, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Umeh, he was busy explaining how ex Governor Peter Obi and incumbent Chief Willie Obiano transformed APGA and gave it tap root , not knowing that the tap root would be removed today.

Umeh who spoke to Presidents-General and women leaders in Anambra Central Senatorial district over his Senatorial ambition weekend at White Castle Hotel, Neni in Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State APGA’s should be shocked if he hears the taproot was earlier uprooted today.

Umeh  at the event described the second Republic as Ndigbo’s most glorious era as according to him it was because through the accord reached by the Nigerian Peoples Party (NPP) and National Party of Nigeria (NPN) Ndigbo were able to produce a number of people in the federal cabinet as well as produced the Speaker, House of Representatives.

He said in a similar manner APGA was reaching out to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for an accord so that the party would reap the benefit of its support for President Goodluck Jonathan of PDP.

He said he nurtured the ambition to go to the Senate because he found out that there was still a lot of work to be done to uplift the living standard of the people.

Besides, Umeh said to snatch the share of national cake due to his people is not for the lily-livered given his experience at the National Conference.

He called for support for APGA because, according to him, it is the only party that has Igbo interest, arguing that any Igbo man who is not a member of the party is not a true Igbo man.

Umeh assured that the party would never die. Instead, it would spring surprises in next year’s election.

According to him, evidence that the party is doing well can be seen in the manner Anambra State has been governed in the last 11 years.

He said under Governor Peter Obi, Anambra was transformed and with Obiano whose tenure would end in 2018, “APGA got tap root.”

“This is why the party has continued to win every court case it is involved in,” he noted.
