From Chuks Collins, Awka
MEMBERS of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) have been urged to work assiduously at all levels to return the party to it’s formidable winning ways.
The charge was made on Friday, November 25 in Awka, the Anambra State capital, by the party’s senatorial candidate for Anambra Central in the February 25 general elections, Dozie Nwankwo, while inaugurating his formidable Campaign organisation.
Nwankwo, popularly known as Onyendozi, bemoaned what many saw as the drift within the party hierarchy; hence he urged members of his campaign structure, other officers and members of the party to work for general benefit of the party, “just as we all worked collectively hard in the governorship election and recorded a resounding victory.
“Presently, APGA is being tested and challenged in diverse ways, especially in Anambra State, but being the party in power here, the institution of government must be made to work for and benefit us. This is a payback time.
“It’s sad that someone would schedule an event at the International Conference Centre on a day APGA members have events all over the state. We certainly need to reawaken the dogged Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu spirit in all of us. APGA must stand tall as it always does, in our state. Things happening around us make it look like we are no more the party in power.
“This event, that is the inauguration of my campaign organisation, is to encourage, motivate and cherish all of us about the beautiful ideals of APGA that we are all proud of. There was a time our deputy governor left, I stood stoically on my feet, remained unrelenting, steadfast, resolute and salvaged, recovered and restored the party, such that at the end of the day, we missed nothing…”
Flanked by the party’s House of Representatives candidate for Njikoka/Dunukofia/Anaocha, Chief Pete Ibida, and some state constituency candidates in Anambra Central senatorial zone, Nwankwo, who is a member of the National Assembly, amidst a standing ovation, unveiled and inaugurated his campaign team.
He said: “I hereby urge you to go out and work to ensure we all emerge victorious. Go and work, show your skills. See this as a call to duty. A service to God and humanity!”
Ibida also charged them to imbibe spirit of oneness.
