WE WILL RECLAIM IMO STATE IN 2015, UMEH, OBIANO AND IHEANACHO VOWS

On 02/10/2014 Ahead of the 2015 gu­bernatorial election, the National Chair­man of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Umeh, Anam­bra State Governor Wil­lie Obiano, and former Interior Minister, Captain Emmanuel Iheanacho, have served the Imo State Gov­ernor a quit notice, vowing to reclaim the party’s stolen mandate.
Speaking at the sensitiza­tion rally of the party held at the weekend in Owerri, Imo State capital, Umeh, in his ad­dress, expressed satisfaction with the level of prepared­ness
showcased by APGA leaders in the state which he attributed to the party’s deter­mination to reclaim its stolen mandate in the forthcoming general elections. While charging party members to always work har­moniously towards actualiz­ing total victory for APGA, Umeh also assured that only responsible and true Igbo sons and daughters without questionable background would be nominated as can­didates of the party at differ­ent levels in the state to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
Also speaking, Governor Obiano, who was visibly elated, urged party members to remain steadfast and com­mitted to the party’s victory in 2015 bearing in mind that APGA was formed to realize and protect the collective Igbo interest.
He promised to give the necessary support needed in Imo for the party to reclaim its mandate and win over­whelmingly in the forthcom­ing general elections.
He acknowledged that it would be a difficult task for any other political party to defeat APGA in Imo judging by its present strength and the grassroots support the party enjoys in the state.
In his own words, the for­mer Minister of Interior and governorship hopeful Cap­tain Emmanuel Iheanacho re­assured that the party leaders and stakeholders in the state have agreed to close ranks to ensure that APGA wins the governorship election in 2015.
Emphasizing that APGA has been well repositioned ahead of future political chal­lenges, Iheanacho revealed that Imolites have already embraced the party again be­lieving in its ideology, adding that it was a clear indication that APGA has been deeply entrenched at the grassroots to win elective positions in the state.
He promised to rewrite the history of the state in the areas of socio-economic development, job creation, women and youth empower­ment, affordable and quality healthcare delivery, industri­alization and quality educa­tion system.
Highlights of the rally in­cluded the formal defection of a very close political ally of Governor Rochas Okoro­cha and Pro-Chancellor, Imo State University, Chief Clem­ent Owunna, Hon. Ifeanyi Oguzie, former Transition and Executive chairman, Isu LGA and others numbering over 5,000 from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
