APGA’ll give new dimension to Nigerian democracy – Obiano

The national leader and chairman of Board of Trustees, BoT, of All Progressives Grand Alliance,
APGA, Governor Willie Obiano, of Anambra State has said the party was determined to build a great political movement that would give a new dimension to Nigerian democracy.
Obiano, who spoke, weekend, during the national convention of the party in Awka, said the last general elections showed that APGA had a national appeal, adding that efforts would be made to sustain the tempo of its growth.
He said: “With this convention, we have a golden chance to lay a great foundation for the emergence of a viable opposition that will enrich democracy in our country. So, this is a rare moment. And we must seize it, define it and turn it into a milestone in the history of our nascent democracy.
“After years of playing at the margins of our country’s political history, the time has come to take a bold step out of the shadows and mount the centre-stage of Nigeria’s political theatre.
‘’The recent general elections gave us a chance to test our own strength and gauge our overall appeal across the country.
“We came back from the polls with the realization that this great party has not lost its basic appeal; that the alternative model of governance we offer is still the clear preference of the larger spectrum of Nigerians.
