APGA To Field A Northern Presidential Candidate In 2019 by nairalaila: 8:03pm On Aug 25, 2018 |
The Board of Trustees (BoT) of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, who had a critical deliberation in Awka, Anambra State, have disclosed that it would field a Northern presidential candidate for the 2019 election. The announcement which was conveyed in a communiqué drafted from the meeting which held at the Anambra State Governor’s Lodge, disclosed that the party has zoned the presidential candidacy to the north, while the vice presidential candidate would be of South-East extraction. The meeting was held at the instance of Governor Willie Obiano who is the National Leader and BoT Chairman of the Party, and it was gathered that the Board members deliberated on the future of the party with specific attention given to the upcoming general election and the options facing the party. Secretary of the Board of Trustees, Alhaji Sani Shinkafi who briefed newsmen after the meeting, said; “After due considerations based on popular demand by party members, the Party has resolved to field a Presidential candidate with the ticket zoned to the North while the Vice Presidential Candidate will come from the Southeast.” According to him, the 'crazy happenings' in the People’s Democratic Party, PDP and the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, APGA, having been founded on sound political principles, values, and ideology, will present a viable option for Nigerians, and solution to the socio-political problems the nation is presently facing. The party had besides 2003 and 2007 when it fielded the founder of the Party, late Biafra Warlord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu adopted former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2011 and 2015. However Daily Post gathered that the party was targeting a particular Northern presidential candidate, who a source described as a heavy-weight politician. “The aspirant is not in APGA for now, he is in another party, but it is hoped that he would move to APGA if he is unable to secure the ticket of his current party.” It was further gathered that APGA had made initial plans to adopt President Buhari as its candidate, and as payback for letting last year’s governorship election result which Obiano won to stand, despite attempts by APC stalwarts to rig their candidate in. https://lailasnews.com/apga-to-field-a-northern-presidential-candidate-in-2019/ lalasticlala

APGA has totally lost focus Na compulsory to take part in Presidential election? Why not focus on winning all the south East states first? Governors, state assembly, house of reps, senate Control these positions first in the east and govern in a pro Igbo pro business progressive way first It is not compulsory to produce the President abeg 2 Likes |

APGA is making the reelection of PMB much easier with this move. They will rob PDP of much needed votes in the SE but would not affect anything in the north. I am laughing here as I imagine the face of that pro biafran in the polling boot casting his vote for an Hausa presidential candidate on the flag of APGA [img]https://media1./images/683e27d3d70b05e7f6087a6c355ebf0c/tenor.gif?itemid=9445212[/img] 11 Likes 5 Shares |

APGA has already reserved its presidential slot for one of the popular PDP contestants that will lose out in their primary. That heavyweight will then be paired with a popular candidate from anambra state as his VP. To say that APGA will eat into a lot of potential PDP votes is an understatement. APGA will be the real undertaker that will finally bury PDP. 1 Like |
