The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for publishing the name of Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo and Dr. Onyekachikwu Gilbert Ibezim as the governorship and deputy governorship candidates of the party respectively, for the November 6, Anambra State Governorship Election.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Barrister Tex Okechukwu, yesterday in Abuja, expressed joy that after several weeks of suspense and confusion INEC had brought some respite by obeying the Kano Court of Appeal judgment.
The party, however, regretted that INEC almost destroyed the nation’s democracy by publishing the name of somebody who had no business being there in the first place.
“We thank and congratulate our numerous supporters, well-wishers and friends across party lines for standing by us throughout the trying period,” Okechukwu said.
He also congratulated Prof. Soludo and his deputy on this feat and prayed God to ensure victory for them and the party in the coming election.
He said, “Together we will work to repeat the 21/21 record we set in 2017, because our government in Anambra State has performed creditably.”
