FORMER National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Senator Victor Umeh, poop-poohed claims by Senator Chris Ngige, minister of Labour and Employment, and leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Anambra State that APC was prepared to win the November 6 Anambra governorship election.
Describing Ngige as a boastful politician who has never won an election freely in the state, Umeh also said that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP cannot stop APGA.
He said: “What happened in 2017 is supposed to be fresh in the mind of Dr Chris Ngige whom I read in various newspapers insulting APGA, insulting the government, and writing us off.”

Ngige said this in Alor, in the Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, during the revalidation of his membership of the All Progressives Congress.
He said Umeh’s attack on his person was to regain political relevance after so many years in political wilderness.
Umeh, had in an interview said, “After all his (Ngige’s) boasts in the previous elections, he lost his ward. And on November 6, 2021, he will lose his ward again because he has never won in his ward.”

March 2022 the incumbent governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, will leave office after serving a two-term of four years each as governor of the ‘‘Light of the Nation’’ on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
He has done his best, which in no way, matchs the standard set by his predecessors. However no two leaders are the same.
Anambra State indeed is very unique to Igbo civilization especially when one remembers the significance of Nri culture and the Igbo worldview and therefore deserves the best in all ramifications, as Imo and Abia states have failed in leadership.
