Professor Charles Soludo, the Governor of Anambra State,
and the national leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA has

candidate to win the upcoming governorship election in Imo State.
Soludo, who stated the reasons while playing host to Ejiogu at Anambra
Government House in Awka recently, also reiterated his firm belief that
APGA is poised to reclaim Imo State.
Below are the 6 reasons drawn from highlights of the Governor’s speech
during the visit:
1. Sir Ejiogu’s Outstanding Manifesto
According to Soludo, one of the reasons he believes Ejiogu is the right man
for Imo at the moment is because of the quality of his manifesto.
He said, “Mr Ejiogu’s manifesto speaks volumes of a man who is poised to
bring about democratic dividends.”
While maintaining that in the past, political parties in the country were
identified by their manifesto and unique people-oriented programs, he
extolled Sir Ejiogu for taking the bull by the horns by proffering
solutions that will address the socioeconomic woes of Imo State through his
manifesto which will improve on the standard of living of Imo people when
actualised.
2. Sir Ejiogu’s Credibility and Competency
Still alluding to Ejiogu’s manifesto, where he promised to be a
servant-leader, Prof. Soludo said APGA has shown and demonstrated its
commitment to the development and progress of Imo State by presenting a
very credible and competent candidate in the person of Sir Tony Ejiogu.
“Only candidates with credibility and interest of the people will work for
them as a servant leader,” he said.
3. Ejiogu As A Model For Future Candidates
Prof. Charles Soludo also said he believes Ejiogu to be the best fit to
lead Imo in this tough moment because “for the desired change we need, we
want a credible candidate that understands what APGA as a progressive party
stands for. Going forward, I believe a new wave has started through Imo
APGA”.
4. Ejiogu’s Empathy and Passion to Serve
Soludo told Ejiogu during the visit, “For you to be the flagbearer of our
party, that means that you have empathy, passion and genuine interest in
improving the life of the people,” while maintaining that APGA is the only
party that practices true federalism with the framework and structure to
move the states and the nation forward.
5. Ejiogu Is The People’s Choice
Soludo said he believes that APGA will be victorious at the polls because
Ejiogu is already the people’s choice, also expressed his optimism that
Ejiogu through APGA will reclaim Imo.
He stated: “I am very optimistic of our victory at the polls, though it is
not easy challenging an incumbent”, he added that the herculean task is an
achievable one, as Ejiogu’s is the people’s choice of a better Imo.”
6. APGA Is Best Positioned to Solve Imo’s Problems
According to Soludo, Ejiogu is best prepared for the task of rebuilding Imo
because of the party’s ideologies.
He said, “The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) is the only party in
the Country that has empathy, and passion and shows genuine interest in
improving the life of the citizens, hence the reason we will want to win
Imo.”
He added: “Party in times past are rooted in ideologies that brought about
developmental strides, but in recent times political parties have become
only an avenue to win an election but with APGA, we are truly committed to
proper utilization of taxpayers’ money, and there is no better man to trust
than our candidate, Sir. Tony Ejiogu.”
