A chieftain of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), in Anambra state, Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, has said that the party would no longer tolerate politicians that do not have the interest of the people at heart.
He said there is no room for selfish politicians who want run for elective position under it party platform ahead of the 2019 general elections.
In a statement issued in Awka yesterday, Ezeonwuka said the party APGA was known for people of integrity and God fearing, adding that the present achievements in Anambra shows that a ‘performer governor’ is piloting the party’s ship.
Ezeonwuka, who is also the spiritual leader of the Igbo nation, said he was optimistic that having produced wonderful results in the November 18 governorship election in the state, what was ahead for the party was to break new grounds and win more elective positions nationwide in 2019.
“Check out Governor Willie Obiano’s record in ensuring adequate security in Anambra State, moving agriculture to the next level, massive construction of roads and community development projects.
“These were positive signs that he was going to be reelected. Also, the performances of APGA lawmakers like Senator Victor Umeh, Ferdinand Dozie Nwankwo, Ossy Prestige and Gabriel Onyenwife, to mention a few, show APGA is ordained by divine providence for good performance.
“All those who rode on the party’s back to achieve success and later decided to leave, are nowhere to be found today,” he stated.
He, however, urged the party’s national leadership to unite and strategise towards making 2019 APGA year.
He said the All Progressive Congress APC, has appointed its National Leader, Bola Tinubu, to put the party together ahead of 2019, while the People Democratic Party PDP, National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, was also moving round with his team in readiness for the elections.
“APGA must not lag behind. Our party leaders must put machinery in motion and start massive awareness campaign for 2019.
“APGA national leaders must always protect the interest of party faithful against political harlots, who, at a point come into the party to seek opportunity to contest election, and at the end, abandon the people that voted them in.
“Our party will no longer be hijacked to the detriment of those who have worked for progress and sustenance of the party. The era of ‘Monkey dey work Baboon dey chop’ is over,” he stressed.
