We Have Become Strangers To Soludo — Okonkwo

APGA

A card-carrying member of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Nibo community Awka-South Local Government Area of Anambra State, High Chief Emeka Okonkwo, says some APGA members who fought tooth and nail to enthrone the incumbent governor have suddenly become strangers to him, ANAMBRA PEOPLE reports.

Okonkwo, who spoke with newsmen in Awka, lamented that ardent believers of the APGA have all been disappointed, deserted and disillusioned by the party.

The APGA chieftain disclosed that he was one of the disillusioned party faithful. Although he admitted that APGA is almost a religion, he also pointed out that the party has become the more you look, the less you see, adding that APGA has turned to disappoint her ardent believers.

He said, “We fought tooth and nail for Soludo’s emergence as governor. We came to Anambra State when even the most ardent supporter of Soludo ran away because of insecurity and all that.

“We put in our money. Soludo never spent one kobo to become governor. We deemed him fit for the state but all of a sudden, we have become strangers and tenants in our own land. ”

Okonkwo, who is a business mogul, said that the March 18th House of Assembly elections was not about Peter Obi anymore but more of the perception of who the governor really is. He said there was a need for the government in power to reach out to the people and also reorientate their policies to be people-based.

According to him, people can not be suffering from hunger and abject poverty, yet the government is building roads; that dead people won’t ride on the roads.

He, therefore, stressed the urgent need for government’s policies and programmes to be people-centred, and not mere philosophical thinking.

Okonkwo equally stated that it is of paramount importance to choose good people to run the House of Assembly of Anambra State and not what he described as rubber stamps.

Although he said almost all the candidates of APGA returning to the House of Assembly were his bosom friends but on the contrary, he said to actualise a liveable and prosperous Anambra, it really doesn’t matter whether APGA, Labour Party or other political parties dominated the Legislature; that what matters was to vote in credible people.

According to him, ” We don’t need people that will always say Oh Yes Mr. Governor. We need people that will question where they need to question and support where they need to support for the good of the entire state. ”

The disillusioned APGA member, as he referred to himself, also questioned the crop of appointees working for Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, saying that most of his appointees don’t know the polity and the people. That most of the appointees were people who don’t have political base, he said, stressing that the leadership of the APGA should endeavour to gather all the disillusioned and illusioned people so that they can come back and deliver Anambra State to APGA again.

That for him, if APGA loses the House of Assembly elections, then it would be the end of the road and demise of the APGA in Anambra State.

Reacting to the foregoing, Press Secretary to the Governor, Christian Aburime, said it was false that some people of the APGA family have been abandoned.

Aburime stated that contrary to such insinuations, Governor Soludo has continued to carry all and sundry along in the scheme of things.

He said, “The governor has always provided a level playing ground for everyone. He has created a conducive atmosphere in terms of security and ensured that people came out to vote for candidates of their choice.”
