The National President, APGA Solidarity Movement, Hon. Ebere Okafor, in his speech yesterday at Isu-Aniocha in Awka North Local government Area of Anambra state, during the inauguration of the group in the area, described the mass defection of lawmakers to PDP as a decision based on pecuniary interest and called on the Party leadership to put in place a measure to forestall future occurrence.
He accused Ekwunife and his team of defectors of asking for automatic ticket in APGA which he described as, “an aberration and undemocratic. The era has gone when politicians offer cash to induce stalwarts or facilitate this type of political dirty deal to arm-twist the party to grant automatic ticket.
“We therefore enjoin the co-travelers headed by Hon. Uche Ekwunife to retrace their step which is purely believed to have based on pecuniary interest” he said.
APGA solidarity movement has begun tour on the 21 Local Government Areas of Anambra State in sensitization of electorates on the distribution of the Permanent Voters Card (PVC) and Continues Voter Registration (CVR) exercise by the Independent National Electoral Commission, billed to kick-start on August 15, 2014 at various wards across the state.
The Anambra state commissioner for Agriculture, Chief Nnamdi Meko said the distribution of the permanent voter’s card will offer voters the ample opportunity of choosing their candidates in the forth coming General election in Nigeria.
