2019 Elections: APGA To Unseat Buhari With Presidential Candidate

APGA to field a presidential candidate in 2019.

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) on Tuesday said the party will field a presidential candidate in the 2019 general election.

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Ifeatu Obi-Okoye revealed in Akwa, the Anambra State Capital, that the party had concluded on the party fielding a presidential candidate.

He said the party would not support candidates of other political parties as it did in previous election, where it did not present any presidential candidate.

He added that Anambra state governor, Willie Obiano, was one of the top persons in the party to be considered for the presidential race, but it had not zoned the slot to any part of the country.

“We have not zoned our presidential candidate to any part of the country. But since APGA is seen as a political party with Igbo interest, it’s natural that we may look for a presidential candidate within.

“His Excellency, the executive governor of Anambra has distinguished himself as a great party man with great achievements; so he is one of our best for the 2019 presidential race.

“But one thing is clear, we must field a presidential candidate in 2019. We won’t make the mistake of the past,” he said.

Speaking on the Anambra Central Senatorial district re-run election scheduled to hold on January 13, 2018, Obi-Okoye called on the people to come out in mass to cast their votes.
