APGA chieftain blames Soludo for Anambra loss to Obi
The loss of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi, who carried the state by a tsunami, has been attributed to Anambra Governor Charles Soludo.
Afam Enemokwu, director of national operations for the APGA Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), accused the party hierarchy of failing to support its candidates, including Peter Umeadi, who lost the state’s presidential election to Obi.
Enemokwu asserted that the party leadership, led by Soludo, failed to ensure the success of APGA candidates.
Obi was declared the winner of all Anambra councils by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Tuesday with 584,621 votes, followed by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Atiku Abubakar with 9,021 votes.
Obi won Polling Unit 017 in the Agu Awka Ward located at Government House, whereas Umeadi received no votes.
Enemokwu insisted that the APGA’s leadership is responsible for the poor performance.
He stated, “Our presidential candidate is more qualified to win the election because he has what it takes to be President of Nigeria, but we did not do what we were supposed to do in the past due to a lack of funds, which was the only obstacle we faced in the presidential election.
“Without a doubt, Umeadi demonstrated in his individual capacity that he was capable, but the party and the Governor, who was elected on the APGA platform, have not supported him; in fact, the party leadership has abandoned him.
“Since the inauguration of the APGA Presidential Campaign Council, which spans all levels of the party, we have not been invited to a meeting, we have not been given direction, and there is no funding, so the APGA faithful are disappointed and frustrated that nothing, as it once was, has come from those in charge.”
