It was a mammoth gathering Yesterday, June 11 at St. John the Cathedral Ekwulobia, as party faithfuls and supporters of Progressive People’s Alliance came out in their numbers to support their party as they commissioned the Party Secretariat for Aguata L.G.A

The gathering was thrown into a euphoric frenzy at the arrival of party leader and gubernatorial candidate Mr. Godwin Ezeemo, as there were chants of joy and songs of praise for the illustrious Philanthropist of Umuchu, whose extended hands of kindness have been felt across Anambra state and beyond.

The crowd who waited patiently expressed optimism that the journey which began at Aguata shall lead their favourite candidate Mr. Godwin Ezeemo to victory at the gubernatorial polls next year.

Speaking to the gathering, Ezeemo assured them of his commitment towards ensuring a democratic and good governance that accommodates the opinion of everyone, as no man is an island of knowledge. He beckoned on them to keep aside frivolous sentimental reasons in making their decisions.

Chief Mathias Ameke, the State Chairman of the Party who was belated at the success of the event urged party faithfuls to rally round in support for the party candidates, and not to be deceived by baits of money from politicians who have no interest of theirs at heart. He remarked that the event at Ekwulobia is a groundbreaking event that would lay the foundation for the party’s success in the oncoming elections.

HRH Paul Ifeanyichukwu Egbuacho, the Igwe Akalabo the II of Amaesi, who spoke on behalf of the traditional rulers present, emphasised that the time has come for Aguata to clinch victory, and it requires the collective support of everyone for the victory to achieved. He stated that what the state needs is one who can listen, think, act, and stand for his people, and these are qualities embedded in Mr. Godwin Ezeemo. He further urged the people of Aguata no to be deceived as no amount of wealth can buy their conscience this time.

Highlights of the event were the official opening of the Party office by Mr. Ezeemo, and the blessing of the office by Venerable Chijioke Nwankwo, Cathedral Administrator, St. John Anglican Cathedral Ekwulobia. In his prayers the Venrable stated that all the while the party didn’t emerge victorious at the polls, that God was preparing them for now, and this is the ripe time for victory and they must clinch it.

The gathering had in attendance Notable Personalities and Traditional Rulers in Aguata L.G.A, which include, HRH Igwe Architect J.O Okpara Ezechaa Nnam (Oshimili II of Akpo and Chairman Aguata Traditional Rulers Council), HRH Paul Ifeanyichukwu Egbuacho (Igwe Akalabo II of Amaesi), HRH Igwe Alfred Ezeobi Onwuneme J.P (Alupuo-Aku of Ikenga), HRH Igwe Cornel C.A.O Muoghalu (Isu II of Isuofia), HRH Igwe Engr Chukwuka-dibia Emmanuel Onyeneke (Ezejiofor of Ekwulobia), HRH Ezenri E.O Nriagu (Ezenri 21 of Oraeri) and a host of other high ranking members in the cadre of the party in the state.
