The Chairman of the All Progressive Grand Alliance APGA, Abia State, the Rev. Augustine Ehiemere, has said that with the victory of the party’s candidate at the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State, the party is now set to claim more states in the South East including Abia come 2023.
Ehiemere who stated this during a press conference in Umuahia gave quit notice to the Peoples Democratic Party PDP-led administration which he said had not met the aspirations of the people.
He said that Abia needed a change of guard arguing that PDP which has been in power for over 16 years in the state has not performed creditably.

“Abia people do not need a prophet to tell them that change has become inevitable”, he said.
The needed change according to him will come through genuine commitment and consistency by all progressive-minded Abians.
He enjoined them to join APGA “for the purpose of enthroning a people-oriented government come 2023”.
Ehiemere further said that unless “a genuine, people-oriented leader is elected to lead the state, the masses of Abia would continue to grumble”.
Claiming that “Abia has been very unlucky in terms of good leadership/governance since 1999”, Ehiemere urged progressive Abians to rescue the state from the hands of political merchants.
