INEC’s publication of Chuma Umeoji as APGA candidate, hope for Anambra people – Ohaneze youths

The youth wing of Ohaneze Ndigbo, an Igbo apex socio-cultural group said the publication of Chuma Umeoji as APGA candidate has given hope to Anambra people, saying it was in line with Jigawa judgement delivered in compliance with jurisdiction demands on issues concerning intra party disputes.

The Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo Youth Movement described the Friday decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the Anambra State governorship election as giving hope to the people of the state.

INEC, had last week published the names of governorship candidates and their running mates for the November 6 election as submitted by their political parties.

Although, two factions of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) presented two different candidates – Chuma Umeoji and Charles Soludo, the Commission recognised Umeoji as the candidate having been duly nominated by the Jude Okeke-led party leadership endorsed by the court.

The Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo Youth Movement, led by Mazi Uche Nnadi, is particularly happy by the development.

The group is of the belief that the commission’s decision has brought hope to the people of Anambra, the South East and indeed Nigeria.

The group said Jigawa Judgment was a landmark judgment delivered in compliance with Jurisdiction demands on issues concerning intra party dispute.

They urged the people to go and read the judgment which dwelt on who is APGA Chairman and not about who emerged APGA Candidate in Anambra as people erroneously believes, while also note with delight that with Umeoji on the ballot for the next election, there is a guaranteed bright future for the state.

“We therefore urged the people of the state to contribute their quota to making the prosperous future possible by supporting Umeoji’s candidature and voting for him overwhelmingly.”
