As the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA conducts primary election preparatory to the November six Anambra Governorship election, INEC officials have arrived the State to monitor the exercise in line with provisions of the Electoral Act.

Special Adviser to Governor Willie Obiano on Political Matters, Chief Ifeatu Obi-Okoye, disclosed this in an ABS audience participatory program, “Nzuko Anambra”, today.

He dismissed media reports purporting leadership crisis in APGA, which is capable of vitiating outcome of the scheduled Primary election or even denying the Party victory in the main election.

He explained that adequate arrangements, including security, have been made to ensure smooth conduct, as well as safety of materials and about nine hundred delegates participating in the exercise holding at the Professor Dora Akunyili Women Development Centre, Awka.

Contributing, an APGA Stakeholder, Chief Ben Obi, said the Party’s candidate for Governorship election will emerge from the Primary election, urging the delegates to keep eyes on the ball, even as he described as “political distractors” those pushing negative publications against the Party.

Correspondent Joseph Egbeocha reports that callers on the program, including Messrs Sunday Okonkwo from Unubi, Afulukwe and Sunday from Ihiala, as well as Madam Odiuko from Ekwulobia, urged APGA leadership to ensure that a candidate with grassroot acceptance emerges, to enable the Party maintain hold of the State.
