The Ndigbo must look to APGA to reclaim our lost glory. |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by Calculia: 4:00pm On Jun 22, 2011 |
APGA is the emerging giant in Nigeria political landscape, no doubt. Alot is resting on the performance of Gov Peter Obi and Gov Rochas. Their performance is all the Ideological and internal reform that is speculated the party needs to win even South/south, alongside the Southeast. |

The last Elections have shown ibos have not developed any balls. |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by EzeUche1(m): 4:02pm On Jun 22, 2011 |
Calculia: APGA has a great chance of capturing Abia and Ebonyi. But I am not sure about Enugu. Sullivan Chime is a performing governor and Enugu is a PDP stronghold. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ndigbo, please ignore the fool is trying to derail the thread. |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by HighChief4(m): 5:52pm On Jun 22, 2011 |
EzeUche!: Yeah, Chime is doing just fine, but he was having problems with PDP before Nwodo resigned and I envisage that happening again during next election because He(Chime) would want to project a candidate which might not go down well with other PDP chieftains and this will present the opportunity for APGA, if APGA can get Enugu that means we are there already. |

Is Peter Obi's picture no longer available on the internet or he is not as popular anymore? |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by EzeUche1(m): 8:35pm On Jun 22, 2011 |
High_Chief: My prediction is that Abia is the next to fall for APGA. That is if Okorocha does a good job in Imo state. Abians are very connected to what is happening in Owerri. Ebonyi state is very unknown to me. Of all the South-East states, Ebonyi is a state that I do not know much about. |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by HighChief4(m): 9:28pm On Jun 22, 2011 |
EzeUche!: Some PDP guys have a strong hold in Ebonyi politics, the likes of Egwu and Anyim, but we have some other oppositions and I see a good number of PDP members defecting to other parties before 2015, there is a very bright future for APGA especially if Rochas delivers. I know Abia is next on line |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by bashr4: 10:04pm On Jun 22, 2011 |
abia and rivers state are the next to be captured by APGA ,PDP rivers will try to put an ijaw man as candidate 2015 after amaechi tenure expire but we know without rigging ,rivers people are almost 3/4 igbo and will vote for APGA if they field an igbo candidate. |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by OAM4J: 11:12pm On Jun 22, 2011 |
1st the party need a strong leader especially since Ikemba is no longer politically active. Who will lead APGA? is it Peter Obi or Rochas. Also I am not sure if Peter Obi's performance is impressive enough to make the rest of SE follow APGA. Again lets see how Rochas will perform. |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by ak47mann(m): 11:32pm On Jun 22, 2011 |
hmmmm |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by HighChief4(m): 12:14am On Jun 23, 2011 |
OAM4J: Peter Obi is not doing badly, you should know that Anambra is a complicated state politically, there are not more than 4 governors doing better than Obi generally. |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by OAM4J: 12:37am On Jun 23, 2011 |
I understand the political sophistication of Anambra and indeed the entire SE. Your claim about his performances depends on who you speak with in Anambra. My tot is that who ever will lead APGA to take over SE states must command overwhelmingly the respect of majority of SE people. I wish someone like Chime is in APGA. |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by Obiagu1(m): 12:37am On Jun 23, 2011 |
For me, I wouldn't like APGA to take the whole SE. There should be a balance between PDP and APGA to ensure strong competition. PDP stronghold in the SE will never wane. Moreover, we need to maintain a strong presence in the centre (Abuja). |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by OAM4J: 12:55am On Jun 23, 2011 |
^^If APGA takes over SE, the way ACN has taken over SW, it will make SE more formidable at negotiations in Abuja because no party will have a clear majority again. It will also lead to a weaker center and improve true federalism across regions. |

Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by EzeUche1(m): 1:00am On Jun 23, 2011 |
All eyes will be on Okorocha. But Peter Obi needs to repair his reputation in Anambra state. He still has a chance to do that if he focuses on the people. I know how astute of a businessman he is, but he needs to realize that he needs to be more philanthropic. |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by Onlytruth(m): 1:14am On Jun 23, 2011 |
For APGA to take over SE and beyond, we need the strong involvement of Ohanaeze and Aka Ikenga. I will explain. Enugu state (historically) has tended towards national parties than Igbo sponsored parties, and we need to change that fast. When Jim Nwobodo was the governor of old Anambra state, NPP (Zik's party) was strongest in current Anambra state and Old Imo state than in northern Anambra (Enugu and Ebonyi) where CC Onoh of NPN held sway. Also, I cannot recall of any Igbo nationalist from Enugu state. No pun intended. They always played national politics even if it would cost Ndigbo. Look at Ekweremadu now and you would understand. Methinks that Enugu brothers need to demonstrate their loyalty to Igbo agenda, 'cos they haven't done that enough. Enugu is the most important Eastern town, and we cannot leave it to those who are not trusting of their fellow Easterners. Enugu must come home. NOW. As for Ebonyi and Abia, these would come to APGA if Okorocha performs well in Imo. It is Enugu that I worry about. So, Ohanaeze needs to drag Enugu home. |

Pls make this happen |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by MrGlobe(m): 9:12am On Jun 23, 2011 |
This would have been possible if Obi was politically savvy like what tinubu did. Tinubu did not perform well in lagos but he was politically smart while obi on the other hand is neither performing nor politically savvy. He couldn't even win senate seats in his state because of bad governance. All hopes are on rochas now if this is gonna be possible |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by sheriffman(m): 9:43am On Jun 23, 2011 |
I don't think the south east can do the APGA all d way thing reason being that like someone said the SE tends towards a national party unlike the SW who tend towards being in the opposition.Besides the SE have alot of bigwigs int he PDP for this to happen however they can still try to win seats and reduce the influence of PDP in the zone hence making the PDP a predominalty northern party.They aught to have thought along these lines long before the general elections of 2011 when a political party has a stronghold in a region the gud tin about it is that they can focus more on their people without the distraction from d centre.Truly Nigeria needs a real federal system of governance. |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by MMM2(m): 10:56am On Jun 23, 2011 |
No, It is not possible 4 apga 2 do dat, when pdp dey. |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by rolchi(m): 11:15am On Jun 23, 2011 |
APGA does not have a strong political leadership! Its current Chairman is as weak. I fear for RAO. I think he will drift back to the PDP. Don't forget, he contested for the Presidential ticket in PDP 2ice. Recently, the Deputy Speaker went with a strong delegation to Imo State. Maybe that is the assignment given to him before he was 'forgiven' by the PDP for contesting the Speaker-ship of the house against the wishes of the PDP, time will tell. A strong Igbo man politically, who can really wield the Igbos outside the PDP box is CNN but he is ACN. How I wish he can make it to the APGA. RAO should wake up and begin to politically govern. |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by Ericology(m): 11:23am On Jun 23, 2011 |
Onlytruth: I ve followed ur comments here for a while and they always made sense but theres something u tend to forget, Igbos have always been republican and never at any time engaged in politics of cult worshipping, In developed and strong democratic countries of Europe and North America this kind of politicking by the Igbos wld have been the best but for the fact that we live in an ethnocentric country call Nigeria, everybody wants to relate to ethnic based political parties which unfortunately is never healthy for democracy, Under normal circumstances we shld nt be running after a particular party with no ideology out of ethnic gains, Theres nothing wrong in having 4 or 5 parties control the a single state as its done in Europe as long as their main aim is to provide good governance for the people but we are usually following the [my people] party , I dont care if PDP controls Enugu, APGA controls Imo and Abia. ACN controls Amanbra while Labout party controls Ebonyi, This ethnocentric politics is getting on my nerves and at last a very republican IGBOS are being dragged into the mess in order to catch up with their other ethnocentric brothers, hmmmm |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by bestman09(m): 11:55am On Jun 23, 2011 |
@ POSTER APGA way be in government in Anambra state but that does not mean that it controls the state. PDP has so many internal problems that is why APGA looks as if it is popular. It is had for Apga to take over the southeast. Lets see what ROCHAS OKOROCHA will do in Imo b4 conclusion |

Ericology: a frequently repeated mantra which is curious at best. like the simplistic fallacy that the igbos were not easy to govern because they never had kings. i suggest if people are going to make sweeping statements they should research properly. there is no evidence except in lazy armchair intellectuals' minds that igbos are more republican than any other people in southern nigeria except for maybe the bini. regarding politics of cult worship whatever that could mean; our political history is quite short for any data to be interpreted with certainty but we know that all major ethnic groups tended to vote massively along ethnic lines overwhelmingly in 1960 and 1979 i.e. igbos always voted for zik. all this pontification and self-righteousness should be saved for those who were born in the 80s |

Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by obinna120: 1:07pm On Jun 23, 2011 |
rochas has set the stage for a total take over come 2015.i shed tears of joy whenever i remember what goes on in imo state now |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by Ericology(m): 1:37pm On Jun 23, 2011 |
aribisala0: I know it will be an exercise in futility to educate u on the afore mentioned points about Ndigbo, FYI winning a contest is not same as sweeping the polls, Zik never swept polls in Igboland like some parties did in other regions, Am sure u know dat it took Late Sam Mbakwe's sagacity to win in 1979 and 1983 against the NPN, they were nt landslide victories, NPN pushed NPP out in Anambra in 1983, Remember the NPP was ZIKS party that u claimed Igbos always voted for, Most state assemblies were evenly split between NPP and NPN and not the sweeping victories we witnessed in other areas, I am sure u wont understand but oh well |
Re: Will APGA Take Over South East? by aribisala0(m): 2:05pm On Jun 23, 2011 |
Ericology: the beauty of the imagination is you can create your own make believe world. reality is just an inconvenient distraction. please give some facts to back your bolded assertion. in 1979 there were 10 states in northern nigeria why did shagari fail to get 25% in 13 states if the igbos were so generous? why did he not [b]sweep all the northern states requiring the magic of 12 2/3. please tell us which of the two igbo states gave shagari the required mandate in 1979 if they did not practise cult-figure voting as you call it. facts do not lie. stop trying to rewrite history. i was there,then. no one told me. the igbos are as bad or as good as everyone else |
