How Ndigbo can produce President in 2019 – APGA
The All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, has said the party remains the only party that can ensure the South East produce the President of Nigeria in 2019.
This was stated by the National Chairman of the party, Chief Victor Oye, while addressing party members in Aba, adding that Ndigbo must embrace the party as it remains the only hope for the political emancipation of Ndigbo in Nigeria.
Reminding Ndigbo that the race had been relegated to the background of politics in the country, Oye called on them to speak with one accord as well as take decisions which would improve the fortunes of the South East in the nation’s political equation.

According to him, APGA offers the best political option for Ndigbo to actualize her dream of producing a Nigerian President than other political parties.
He said: “Ndigbo should know that charity begins at home. If all Igbo people are APGA, how will anybody steal our votes? We don’t vote in one direction, that’s why there is confusion. If all of us vote APGA, it will be difficult for anybody to rig elections in the South East.
“APGA is the party for Ndigbo. Unless we start from home and win the five South East states for APGA, we won’t make any progress. Every Igbo man should know that Ndigbo are nowhere in Nigeria’s political equation.
“Ndigbo should have produced the Senate President, but we failed to put our acts together and the position went to the minority. Ndigbo should shine their eyes. Unless Ndigbo wins the five South East state for APGA, it would be difficult for an Igbo to emerge Nigerian President. 2019 is another election year. We must get things right.”
