APGA BoT member doubts Obiano’s re-election, says noting shows he’s prepared
Ahead of the November 18, Anambra State governorship election, a Board of Trustees (BoT) member of the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the state, Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, has expressed fears Governor Willie Obiano may lose the election.
According to him, there is nothing on ground showing that the governor is prepared for the coming election.
According to Ezeonwuka, the governor and his handlers have been “lacklustre” in their approach to the election, adding that the opposition parties in the state are now cashing-in on the governor’s alleged lacklustre attitude by strongly getting into the nooks and crannies in the state.
Ezeonwuka stated this while addressing newsmen in Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area of the state on Thursday.

He said, “There are no indices on ground to show that the party or Gov. Willie Obiano is prepared for the contest, which would determine the future of APGA in Nigeria.
“In election you, have to make friends, you have to cut-across, you have to negotiate, you don’t win while sitting in your house; you just need more friends than enemies because not even the big parties win alone.”
Obiano is the only governor in Nigeria under the platform of APGA.
