The flag-off ceremony of campaigns for the APGA candidate in the November 11 governorship election, Tony Ejiogu, in Owerri on Friday, September 1, 2023.
As the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Imo State flags off its governorship campaign ahead of the November 11 election, Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo has urged all indigenes in the neighbouring southeastern state to return the party’s winning streak.
Soludo, who was represented by his deputy, Onyekachi Ibezim, at the flag-off ceremony held in Owerri on Friday, enjoined the people of Imo to reclaim the governorship seat in the state.
The APGA governorship candidate, Tony Ejiogu, in his remarks, said his vision was to build a state where everyone, especially the youths, would be the major stakeholders.
He promised inclusivity in decision-making processes in the state and to build a new Imo with a conducive business environment and policies for a private sector-driven economy, where factories and ancillary business services will blossom to tackle joblessness and poverty.
