Sell Forms To Anyone Who Wants To Contest Against Me – Umeh


 
Chief Victor Umeh, the National chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has directed that nomination forms should be sold to candidates who wished to contest against him.

Umeh said this on Thursday in Awka shortly after picking the nomination form for Anambra Central Senatorial District.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that there were impressions that Umeh had been handed ole ticket to contest for senate by the party in the zone.
He said that though he enjoyed overwhelming support from the people of the area and was sure of victory, the door should not be shut against anyone who wanted to contest the same seat under APGA.
The chairman, who was visibly elated at the number of supporters at the secretariat, said he had no choice than to heed the call of the people to serve.
He also said that the party would resist any political party that would present more than one candidate for any particular seat in state, under the guise of factionalisation.
Umeh said that his mission to the senate was to work toward bringing greater democracy dividends to his people.
Also at the APGA office to obtain form was Mrs. Chinwe Nwaebili, the Speaker, Anambra House of Assembly, who is contesting for Ogbaru Federal Constituency and Chief Godson Ezenagu, a former commissioner vying for Awka North/South Federal Constituency.
NAN reports that no fewer than 15 serving members of the Anambra House of Assembly also obtained forms on Thursday.
They included Mr. Harford Osseke, the Majority Leader of the assembly, who is seeking to seeking to be re-elected.
Nwaebili said having served two terms in the state assembly; she had all that was required to serve her constituents effectively at the federal level.
Osseke on his part, said he had done enough physical and human empowerment in his constituency, which made the people of the area to support his re-election, adding that Anambra remained an APGA state.
Chief Mike kwentoh, the Chairman of APGA in Anambra, said the huge number of applicants picking up the party’s nomination forms was an indication that it was the party to beat.
He assured all contestants of a level playing ground in the primaries. (NAN)
