Soludo Throws Weight Behind APGA's In-Road Into Abia State

Governor Chukwuma Soludo says the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, is the first registered progressive party in the country whose mission is to promote true federalism in the Country. The Governor was speaking when the candidate of the party in Abia State, Prof. Greg Ibeh, paid him a consultative visit, following the successful conclusion of the primary election of the party. According to Prof. Soludo, the election of the Presidency has grown beyond being a social media thing, saying that it is time for Ndi Igbo to calibrate their approach because  election will only be won by forming methodical, systematic, concrete networks and alliances.

Plutocracy as it is has never been known to us as one of the ethos of democracy and how our politicians are breeding this monstrous act remains a wonder. Vote buying or merchandising, no matter how it is christened has militated against the will of the people as well worked against the socio-development of a people.
