Onunkwo's message of hope and open-door representation has resonated deeply with the people of Anambra South, and his nomination would give APGA a strong chance of winning the senatorial seat.

By nominating Chief Dr. Ebuka Onunkwo (Seahorse) APGA can demonstrate its commitment to internal democracy and reward a dedicated party member who has consistently supported the party's agenda . Onunkwo's nomination would also send a strong message to the people of Anambra South that APGA is committed to a fresh start as proposed by the INEC Chairman at the stakeholders meeting held yesterday in Abuja. With Chief Dr Ebuka Onunkwo on the ballot paper, APGA can look forward to a bright future in Anambra South Senatorial District and by extension Anambra State in general.
