National Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Umeh, Sunday joined the race for the Anambra Central Senatorial seat in the2015general elections.
The seat is currently occupied by the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the November 16, 2013, Governorship election in Anambra State, SenatorChris 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 Anambra governorshipelectionlast year and two other aspirants in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the zone, Chief Kodilichukwu Okelekwe and Senator Annie Okonkwo who recently defectedfrom the APC to his original party, the PDP citing lack of internal democracy in the APC.
Details to follow

Will he ever relinquish APGA chairmanship position? Such a juicy post that signed a widely circulated contract to be collecting forty million naira from Anambra in addition to heavy duties paid by contractors. Simply put he nets average of Sixty million naira monthly.
During Peter Obi's tenure, he was collecting twenty to twenty - five million monthly

If I were Umeh I will stay put at APGA as Chair and muscle out any contender as long as I continue to enjoy the purchased sympathy of the Courts.

Anambra Central belongs to PDP and whoever they deem fit to occupy that post in 2015.

One thing is sure Ngige is vacating that seat come 2015. APC have no say in Anambra.

Hangard: One thing is sure Ngige is vacating that seat come 2015. APC have no say in Anambra.

Sen Annie Okonkwo will have my vote should he contest . He did well previously, In those days, when one needs attestation from his office for a job application, not only does he grant it he personally follows it up.
I don't know much about Chief Umeh apart from his unwillingness to allow another hand at APGA chair.
Ngige didn't do so well in the Senate if the things on ground are anything to go by

Umeh can't defeat Onwa in a free and fair election,mayb Umeh should go and ask late madam Nafdac.

don't mind the joker called umeh, perhaps that'll will be a way he would finally relinquish his life chiarman chiarmanship of Apga. Ngige will easily defeat the loudmouth in Anambra

Moonlight tales,

Hangard:
Moonlight tales,

He told you the truth. What has Chief Umeh done for Anambra other that collect money here and there. Side with this person today and tomorrow another

Ifeanyi Ubah, Soludo and a whole lot of others were his victims last year. As for elections, he can't win without the collaboration of corrupt INEC officials.

That guy has been APGA chairman since like forever.

So much for internal democracy in APGA.
