Anambra Guber: Why We Dumped PDP for APGA in Anaocha – Stakeholders

By Praise Chinecherem

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) on February 21, 2025 received critical stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Anaocha LGA of the state into her fold.

The stakeholders led by Chief Barr Ugochukwu Adilieje (Uduakommili Eze Elisiaku) were received into the APGA family by the Anambra State chairman of APGA, Barr Ifatu Obi Okoye.

The reception of the former PDP stakeholders took place at APGA Secretariat, Awka.

The leader of the former PDP stakeholders, Adilieje in his comment said that he and others were moved to join APGA because of the five star performance of Gov Charles Soludo.

He said that the Anambra State governor has done so well in all ramifications and that every lover of good mut identify with him.

Uduakommili Eze Elisiaku said, “Look at what the administration of Gov Soludo has done in Awka, we now have a State Capital that is truly a capital, the abandoned Government House is nearing completion, and so are many other signature projects.

“He is working on roads, empowering the schools, hospitals and so on.”

Chief Barr Adilieje commended Gov Soludo for the new security outfit he introduced noting that it was indeed a welcomed development.

Responding, Chairman of APGA, Barr Ifatu Obi Okoye commended the new entrants into the APGA family for joining a moving train.

He said as a matter of fact that APGA is set to retire some generation of politicians in Anaocha LGA.

The APGA State Chairman said that the new entrants are in the right party noting that Gov Charles Soludo was at a time, a PDP governorship candidate and that the Special Adviser to Gov Soludo on Political Matters, Dr Alex Obiogbolu used to be ‘Oganiru PDP’.

Barr Obio Okoye pointed out that he himself was a former Chairman of PDP in Anambra State, then moved to APGA where he has served as a Special Adviser to the Governor, National Publicity Secretary of the party and now APGA State Chairman.

He noted that APGA at the moment is a combination of old PDP and APGA and that APGA is open to receiving new comers.

Barr Obio Okoye however warned against any form of segregation and discrimination against the new entrants into the APGA family.

He observed that the former PDP stakeholders came into APGA at the highest level in the state adding that, “All of us will grow this party and make it bigger. By your performance, you will rise to an unimaginable level.”
