2015: Umeh Declares For Anambra Central Senatorial Seat by Noneroone(m): 1:22pm On Jul 22, 2014 |
2015: Umeh Declares for Anambra Central Senatorial Seat The National Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Umeh, has joined the race for the Anambra Central senatorial seat in the 2015 general election. The seat is currently occupied by the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the November 16, 2013 governorship election in Anambra State, Senator Chris Ngige. By his formal declaration at the launch of APGA solidarity movement in Awka, Umeh is thus challenging the incumbent senator for the zone, Ngige, who is widely believed to be eyeing the seat again after his failed bid to win the state governorship election last year and two other aspirants in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the zone, Chief Kodilichukwu Okelekwe and Senator Annie Okonkwo who recently defected from the APC to his original party, the PDP citing lack of internal democracy in the APC. But Umeh said yesterday that he was throwing his hat into the ring and would definitely emerge victorious. “I will win. I have been stopping them in the past and this time around I want to stop them in the senate race “And because of your invitation for me to join the race today (yesterday), I am now joining to stop them again. God willing, I have put my hat in the ring and we shall go to the battlefield and I will emerge victorious. “Go and tell them that I have stepped out for the Anambra Central senatorial seat and with all of you here working with me, we are going to give them a crushing defeat,” he said before an assemblage of Anambra people who gathered for the inauguration of APGA solidarity movement in the state which also coincided with the celebration of his 52nd birthday. Earlier, before the movement was inaugurated by the state Chairman of APGA, Chief Mike Kwentoh, its president, Hon. Ebere Okafor, had said the movement started way back in 2012 as APGA Solidarity Forum and had worked hard to deliver a lot of candidates who won various elective positions. The vision of the movement, he said, was to ensure that by working hard, more candidates under the party’s platform would win more elective positions in 2015 and beyond both in Anambra and other states. |
