The decision came on the heels of the two leading contenders to the position – Ngige and Mr. Godwin Ezemo – organizing two parallel rallies in Awka yesterday. While Ngige, led by the governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha and Senator Annie Okonkwo held their rally at the Ammaus House, Ezemo had his outing at the Marble Arch Hotel in the town. Both outings attracted large number of their supporters. Okorocha, who spoke for nearly one hour, said the primaries was aimed at fulfilling all righteousness, expressing optimism that Ngige would emerge the APC flag bearer in the state. According to him, Annie Okonkwo has agreed to collapse his structure into that of Ngige, adding that he (Okonkwo) has been chosen as the leader of Ngige’s campaign organization for the governorship election. Okorocha said: “I am very proud of Senator Annie Okonkwo who I know, controls about 80 percent of the APC structure, but has agreed to step down for Ngige. Though he had prepared a wonderful blueprint for the development of Anambta State if he wins the race, he decided to step down for Senator Ngige because he knows that two of them cannot be governor at the same time.” In his speech, Ngige said there is no more division in APC. His words: “There is no longer Annie Okonkwo group; there is no longer Ngige group and very soon, there won’t be Ezemo group. He said that if he returns to the Government House after the November 16 election, there would be free education and free health services in the state. Elsewhere at Marble Arch Hotel, Ezemo insisted that there must be primaries for the aspirants, adding that he was prepared to work with whoever wins if he loses. According to him, what he frowned at was imposition of a candidate on the people of Anambra State at a time APC was accusing other political parties of committing such offence. |

This is good for democracy. APC should stop consensus things. |

Good for them... I thought the party leadership will proceed with the imposition of chris Ngige on it members. Its obvious the primaries will only be conducted to fulfil all righteousness... Chris Ngige will still be given the flag. |

If Ngige who stole the mandate of Anambra people is given the ticket, then something seriously must be wrong with them. how can someone who brazenly stole the mandate of the people, made them understand that their votes don't count,became a governor through the back door now coming back in 2013, want to be a governor. No democrat will support Ngige's candidacy. If they do, then Nigerians should apologize to IBB and Gen Buhari for not supporting their political ambition. I personally don't believe in political parties I'm more interested in individuals and Ngige has a lot of questions to answer. |

duality: If Ngige who stole the mandate of Anambra people is given the ticket, then something seriously must be wrong with them. If you think by stoking the flame of hatred you will diminish Ngige's chances....fa fa fa foul! Ngige was booted out because his Godfathers in order to get at him commissioned several people to confess as witnesses that they indeed rigged in his favour...never before has such brazenness been witnessed in election petition matters before and coupled with Obasanjo's connivance with the Ubas,he intentionally exposed Ngige to a lot of ridicule. OBJ even made a silly passing comment that as an african man if one entered into an agreement,such person was bound to fulfill it. So don't come here and twist history...the time Ngige spent as d governor,he broke free from the shackles of Gosfatherism and worked for the people such that Obi who came after him could not accuse him of corruption n that is why he is still relevant and can walk head high all over Anambra unlike his predecessor Mbadinuju or even Peter Obi who is gradually goin down the hall of infamy with his latest anti-Igbo actions |

Meanwhile, Daily Sun can authoritatively reveal that Governor Okorocha was instrumental to the presentation of Ngige as the consensus candidate of APC in Anambra. It was gathered that Okorocha, in what seemed a political masterstroke, had single-handedly taken it upon himself to ensure that there’s not only primaries to pick the governorship candidate for APC in Anambra but also to have Ngige as the sole aspirant. the reporter who wrote the above statement must now be wondering where he went wrong, since APC has agreed to hold primaries! I support Ezeemo for sticking to his guns and demanding primaries. the likes of Rochas should be told in clear terms that the cannt control everybody. Imagine coming from Imo to impose a common election rigger on the good people of Anambra state. |
