The Maxi
Okwu led faction of All Progressive Grand Alliance known as Movement for Greater Anambra State, MOFGAS, came out
enmasse today to declare APGA bastardised as they endorsed Ezeemo and People's
Progressive Alliance, PPA as the
credible leadership that would move Anambra forward.
Speaking
during the event of endorsement which saw more than 200,000 MOFGAS members
converge on Emmaus House, Awka, Obi Okafor, Onowu Okpuno, chairman of event
(MOFGAS stakeholder) alleged that APGA has more than 10 court cases and has
kept on bastardising the noble ideals of the founding fathers. He then
described Ezeemo as a gentleman to the core that has a reputation of keeping
his words.
He said the
Maxi Okwu faction is adopting Ezeemo as their candidate. He said that as
humans, we always seek improvement. He
observed that the restiveness in the south east is because the down trodden are
neglected. " Igbos have investment in other cities, but Ezeemo brought his own home. In line with
Ojukwu's admonition. If Ezeemo becomes the governor I know that all of us will
smile," he enthused.
Comrade MI
Okeke, Convention committee chairman. MOFGAS said that the group is a benchmark
of excellence and sole promoter,
advocate of good governance and leadership development in Anambra State.
He narrating how the group was etched out of APGA attributing it to the present
government's ineptitude, rascality and extravagance. He said that the group has
identified Godwin Ezeemo as the only candidate with a precedence of matchless
passion for Anambra having contributed immensely to the economic growth of
Anambra State.
He therefore
said that MOFGAS has endorsed Ezeemo and would move on from the event to
commence issue based progressive campaign aimed at redeeming Anambra State and
people.
"We
will address the moral deficit and Gestapo-like government that has led to the
breakdown of our value system, causing slow pace of development in the
State," he said.
Edwin
Okonkwo, PPA National Deputy Chairman
said he was enthralled at the personality of Ezeemo. He said that Ezeemo had
inspired him to put group interest over personal interest in politics and
called Ezeemo, the best thing that can happen to Anambra State.
Ezeemo said
that his purpose is to sincerely attend to the basic needs of the people. He
reiterated on his consuming love for his black brothers and intention to use
Anambra State as a case in point in achieving an organised and comfortable as
well as inspiring society. He promised
that he would always be reachable and transparent when he becomes governor of
Anambra State.
Raising up
Ezeemo's hands by the National Chairman of PPA and the National Secretary of
MOFGAS marked the highpoints of the event.
