Obi Used APGA to become anything politically – Umeh



Chief Victor Umeh fondly called “Ohamadike Ndigbo, one of his first traditional titles, is a Real Estate survyor and National Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). Umeh who is described as a cat with nine lives because of the political battles he has fought and won in the past, in this interview with ALPHONSUS EZE, dismisses the recent defection of former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi  to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a non-issue. He explains why he wants to represent Anambra Central in the Senate in 2015, among other issues.
We learnt that you have concluded plan to run for the Anambra Central senatorial district seat. What motivated you to take that decision?
Since I accepted the call of my people to contest the senatorial election for Anambra Central senatorial district, a lot of people have been excited by my decision or acceptance to run for that office. Unlike what people would trivialise as a political play that nobody asked me to come out, I was under immense pressure from the people of my state, my party members, particularly , people from Anambra
Central senatorial district, that I should contest this election on behalf of our party. Some of the reasons they gave me include but not limited to the following, that APGA has not produced a senator from Anambra State since its existence, even though the party has been in charge of the state government for eight years and beyond now. My people considered it not good for the party.
Secondly, they urged me to run because they felt I will present a good face for the party and the Igbo people at the National Assembly, going by what I have represented in my political life over the years. They became more desperate to urge me to run after I participated in the National Constitutional Conference, where I was everywhere, championing the cause of Igbo people and fighting for a just Nigeria
in terms of pushing for something that will make Nigeria a more functional nation, a country that would be run on the basis of equity and fairness, a country, where the citizens of the country, their interest in their country would be renewed. That performance I put at the National conference became the final straw that they used to insist that I must go there to offer them effective representation.
The other reason is that they have not been happy with the way the Anambra Central senatorial district was being represented at the Senate by Dr Chris Ngige. They considered him to be a shadow of himself. At National Assembly, they expected a more vibrant representation from him, going by his antecedents but suddenly, he was swallowed at the chamber of the Senate. So they expect that there
was need to have somebody who cannot change colour, when the person goes to the National Assembly and they forced me to step in. So, I accepted to do that and since I accepted to run, it has been endorsement galore from all parts of the state, youth organisations, children, womenfolk, community leaders and all categories of persons have been rejoicing that I am there. In fact, since I set up my campaign organisation and it filtered out that I had appointed the director- general of my campaign organisation in the person of Barr.Obele Chuka Obele, he has been overwhelmed by people who have
been coming to him to offer help in the campaign organisation to ensure that I get elected next year. So, the way people come to him, tell him, asking him to assign them responsibilities was clearly an indication that my people are very eager to get me represent them at the Senate. So, I am very happy about that and we are planning to go to that election with every impetus we can muster in order to succeed.
You were accused of displaying ethnic inclination at the National Conference that some people are now afraid that you may play the role of Biafran Warlod, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu if you go to the Senate. You were said to have challenged one man who used some words you considered derogatory to Ndigbo. Some are saying that these rather extreme positions may affect close your chances?
No, it cannot be so. First of all, the National Conference was convened on the representative arrangement. People were called from all parts of Nigeria to the National Conference to come and contribute their own ideas in the national dialogue. The essence of National Conference was to fashion out a way of resolving the agitation that had held Nigeria down over the years. The initiative was to cure Nigeria of its present structural imbalances and marginalisation that some parts of Nigeria have been suffering. As an Igbo man who arrived at that National Conference, I went there with the mindset that my
people have been badly treated in Nigeria over the years. Since the war ended, we have been so sidelined over national affairs. The structural imbalance that we complained about was mostly suffered by the Igbo people. We are the only political group that has five states in Nigeria. Others have six states and North West has seven states. We have the least number of Local Governments, 95 Local Governments. The closest people to us have 123. That is the South South Zone. And in Nigeria, number of states, number of Local Governments have been the basis for sharing revenue in this country and
it also applies the Federal Character principle in recruiting people to national employment. So, you could see that structural imbalance was the creation of the military and the military used the war prejudices against the Igbo nation, to punish us by reducing us to insignificant minority on the political structure and the way they shared things in Nigeria. So, with that wound and of course, coming from this part of Nigeria, I had to go with that drive, that the injustices must be addressed.
Some other people came with their own agitation to the National Conference. The South-South people came complaining about the percentage of revenue they get from derivation because they considered themselves the fat cow that the Nigerian people milk on, that the oil that they have, the exploitation of the oil deposit from South-South region has led to environmental degradation and they felt that they
needed to do remediation of the environment and the money they were getting they considered it very small. So, they came with an agenda to push up that percentage of what they have been getting. In fact, they were pressing for total ownership of their resources, total resource control, way down in the dialogue at the conference they came down to 25 percent. Some of them demanded 50 percent. At the last consensus building effort at the conference, 18 percent was offered to them from the present 13 percent in the Constitution.
So, the way the South-South people came with an agenda to improve on what they get from the nation because of oil was the same way, we the South East people went to the National Conference to ask for an adjustment in the political structural arrangement in the country. I was therefore there to canvass most importantly for an equitable Nigeria, where things are done on the basis of fairness to all concerned. There is no way the Igbo nation that constitutes the major ethnic group in this country, with the amount of contribution they are making to the national development would be consigned to
political minority. So, we had to speak for that as basis for fighting for justice. If it offended some people that we are talking about this, addressing imbalance, it will not make me hated by other parts of Nigeria because we conceded to the people of South-South for example in their demand for improved derivation.   Injustice is injustice. It does not matter who is suffering it. So, the effort I made at the National Conference was to address the injustice. It does not matter who is suffering it but in the present case, we are suffering the brunt.
It was Alhaji Dambata who described the South East people as ” the so-called South East people,” when I spoke to make a case for the additional state for the South East people. It was in reaction to my statement that he got up, he was reacting to my statement that the states were created without any justification on the basis of population, that is demographic data, you know. Then he got up to say that “the so-called South East people” cannot be dashed an additional state. Of course somebody like me would get angry with that type of statement. Ike Nwachukwu was our leader. I had to tell him that we
would not accept that. And he got back and demanded an apology from Alhaji Magaji Dambata of blessed memory because he has just passed on. The conference was held to a standstill until Alhaji Dambata was forced to withdraw that statement. He apologised and withdrew it and the conference continued. So, if I was identified as somebody with domineering Igbo character, I have no apology. The
essence of life is for you to protect the lives of your people. You get things that accrue to them in a federation like Nigeria, where we are part of the Federal Republic. What is good for the goose is good for the gander and it wouldn’t have been nice if we went to the National Conference and kept quiet over these challenges our people have been facing. And we are happy that the contributions we made individually and collectively saw to the important decision being made by way of resolution at the National Conference.
One was on 95 Local Government which we have. The conference finally resolved that 774 Local Governments that were enlisted in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria would be expunged. That today it is the standing resolution of the National Conference. We also got an approval that an additional state will first of all be created in the South East to make our own six. And an additional state
would be created across the states on the basis of merit. And the criteria were laid out. The South East also qualified in the additional states that would be created on the basis of equality. So, we were able to also get the conference to agree that revenue shall no longer be shared to the 774 Local Governments listed in the Constitution. Local Government allocation would now be shared among the 36 states of
the federation. The states are at liberty to create 1,000 Local Governments if they like, unlike the status-quo where money is shared on the basis of Local Governments you have. Some states have 44 local governments, 36 local governments, you know. So, imbalance has been removed by that resolution. And that is why it is also important that in my accepting to run for the Senate, I knew that most of the resolutions of the National Conference would still be taken to the National Assembly.
And it is important that people like us who fought for some of these important resolutions made by the National Conference would be at the Senate to defend them. Otherwise, that is another round of battle in Nigeria. It was actually in the realisation of the need to get these resolutions pass legislative process in the National Assembly that I felt we need to go there and slug it out one more time. And very well through, Mr. President in his independence speech has promised that he would implement the report, which is also an additional ground I have given for supporting Jonathan for second term in office
because he is somebody who is courageous and bold enough to admit that Nigeria was facing challenges and needed national dialogue to resolve. He is the best person to implement the decision of the National Conference and it is not something you will do in the next five months.
So, he needs another four years to be able to give effect to all these things. Formally put, I am first of all an Igbo man before being a Nigerian and it is my duty to fight for the right of my people. That is why if I go to the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I would be going to represent the people of Anambra Central senatorial district. I wouldn’t be going there to represent the whole Nigeria. I’m going
there to represent a people. And if you go there, the only thing required of you, apart from contributing to lawmaking process for the good governance of Nigeria, I should be doing things that will protect the right of the people I am representing. And there is no way you can shake-off that responsibility from the approach one would use in fighting for the right of the people.
With the defection of the former governor, Peter Obi and some members of the National Assembly from APGA, how strong is the party’s platform to carry you through in this your senatorial ambition?
APGA is a political party with a different character. APGA is the movement of a people. You know, it is not something that an individual can reduce its potentialities in any contest. For example, APGA had been registered before myself dragged Obi into APGA to contest governorship election. I was the one who dragged him into the party. I used the word dragged because by October 8, 2002, I was the one in
charge of his bid to run for the governorship election in Anambra State, which he started in 2001. By 2002, when the party has been registered around June, by June 22 of 2002, by October, Obi had not made up his mind, which party he will have governorship election form. As a matter of fact, his uncle Chief Sylvanus Nwobu-Alor advised him to join the UNPP and told him that he would not win any
election through APGA even though UNPP was registered the same time with APGA. So, when he was vacillating I had to threaten him that if he failed to join APGA, that I would back-off supporting him for the governorship of Anambra State. It was at that stage that in a meeting, where Chief Paul Odenigbo was present and Chief Callistus Ilozumba, the present Commissioner for Works was present, I told him if you don’t join APGA, I would back-off.
It was at that stage that he accepted because he could not do without me having led him on for about a year plus. At that time, he accepted that he would now run in APGA. By the time he declared at the Holy Trinity field that he was going to run for governor through APGA, Nwobu-Alor’s associates, all of them were in UNPP. They had gone to UNPP including Nwobu-Alor. He was in UNPP. So, I have to
drag him because I knew it was only through APGA that he could win that election. I was also aware that as at July 2002, Chief Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu had called on all Igbo people to join APGA. That was at Choice Hotel, Awka, on 30th July, 2002. Ojukwu was also on his way to APGA because at that time, he was the Chairman of Board of Trustees of APP. So, I knew that once Ojukwu joined APGA, that it would become a different type of political movement for our people and that was exactly what happened when he declared to run for presidency in APGA in December 2002.
So, you can now see that it was that character that APGA has that was responsible for the followership the party enjoys in the South East and in other places. So, APGA’s strength is something that cannot be credited to any individual order than the character that it gained because Chief Emeka Oumegwu Ojukwu told our people that this is the platform and when APGA was being registered as a matter of fact our vision was that it was going to offer itself as a political platform for we the South East people that have been marginalised structurally in Nigeria. And our people embraced the party believing that
through this party, they would gain their voice and with Ojukwu commanding the affairs of the party, he became the face of the party, Ojukwu having led the Igbos in a very difficult war of survival said this is the way and everybody followed the way. Even in his death the Igbos are still identifying with APGA as that vehicle, that platform that they will use to get to the promise land.
So, that some people left the party cannot in any way be looked at being a problem to the party because they did not give the party the character. Obi did not give APGA its character. Obi was never the face of APGA like some of his media aides are putting out in the eternet and in the newspapers. The face of APGA has remained Dim Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and the character of the party has remained
its strength in Nigeria. If anything is to be said, I will say that APGA made Peter Obi what he is politically. He did not make APGA but APGA made him. If I had left in October 2002 to join UNPP, Nigerians would not have known anybody called Peter Obi. He would have gone back to his business after the election because he would have lost woefully; It was that decision to come into APGA to run for governor of Anambra State that made it possible for his visibility in Nigeria. And of course you know that his ascension to the governorship of Anambra State was not gotten on a platter of gold.
It came through strenuous struggle of all sorts to establish him as the governor of Anambra State in 2006, nearly three years after the election was conducted. It took my coordination, my coordination of the affairs of the party and the legal challenge in court with the fatherly cover of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu to put the matter on course. It was our struggle in the court to retrieve the mandate which the people of Anambra State gave to APGA and Obi as our candidate then that led to the first crisis in the party. Our former chairman lost faith in the judicial struggle and attempted to trade-off
that mandate to Ngige. And we came together, myself and Obi with the support of Ojukwu and my colleagues in the National Working Committee. We came together and agreed that there was need for a change in the leadership of the party in order to preserve the matter at the court. That was how we shoved Chekwas Okorie aside. And at the meeting where we took the decision to go and do that in Abuja,
Obi was present and participated in a prayer session, where we resolved to keep faith alive, of course as the propelling force to Obi’s bid, being a member of the National Working Committee of the party, I led the onslaught and the rest is history today. We got rid of Chekwas Okorie, continued the struggle in court where you know that I played pivotal role, where I was the first witness for Peter Obi. I was in the witness box for one month. So, we did all these and finally we won at the tribunal, continued to the Court of Appeal which we won on the 16th of March, and on 17th March he was sworn in.
It was a great struggle at that time and myself working very closely with Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and under his cover we were able to tackle all the challenges that came our way. At a very critical moment, I will rush to Ojukwu and he would roar like a lion and the things he said would be splashed in all the national dailies. Those who were threatening the recovery of that mandate, would
run away, the Judiciary sat up to its responsibilities, knowing that Ojukwu was threatening fire and brimstone if anything unconstitutional would happen to that judicial process .So, that is how we shepherded Obi’s mandate . We got it for him and it wasn’t just an uhuru. Six months after that, he was impeached. I had to go to work again with Odumegwu Ojukwu to see how we can return him to office. He headed to the court because he was the one impeached and that time our leader of the blessed memory had become angry with some of the things Obi did in the first six months in office. He was
angry. It took Chief Victor Umeh to convince Ojulwu one more time to accept that Obi would be reinstated. He asked to go and plan the strategy. I gave him the strategy. He accepted the strategy and we implemented it. That is how Obi got back to office on 7th of February 2007. So, it is not something he can come out to tell anybody that he made himself governor and so on and so forth. And even at that, we have no person in the State House of Assembly, there were several challenges.
When we reinstated Obi, few months after that, there was a governorship election where Andy Uba was declared winner by INEC. We had to go for tenure interpretation, which was actually what I gave Ojukwu for supporting the reinstating of Obi, that if we reinstated Obi we will file an action for tenure interpretation. I read the provisions of Section 182 of the Nigerian Constitution to Ojukwu, that Obi’s tenure was actually for four years and not a year and four months because his tenure was eaten very deeply by Ngige, when we were at the tribunal and the court. And when they put Andy Uba as the
winner of the election, controversial election at that, it was that tenure interpretation case that saved APGA. It was my finding of that provision in the Constitution that saved APGA, not Obi, Obi didn’t see it. I was interviewed by my present media assistant in August 2006, where I told him that Obi’s tenure would end in 2010 and not in 2007 as was being speculated. He published that interview in the Sun Newspaper in August 2006 with a bold headline, Obi’s tenure would end in 2006, says Umeh. I was the one who found out that and when asked Obi that he should go to court to interpret that Constitution,
he didn’t have the liver to try that until he was impeached. So, he got wounded. When they finally put Andy Uba in office, we had already commenced that tenure interpretation. We lost out at the Federal High Court. We lost at the Court of Appeal. At Court of Appeal, it was a messy situation, very messy, that judgment of Court of Appeal came few days to Andy Uba’s inauguration as the governor of Anambra State. It was me who ensured that the record of proceedings was allowed to be transmitted to the Supreme Court under 48 hours. The people at the Court of Appeal said it has never happened
before. They were all kinds of things to frustrate that. But because the records were compiled overnight and ready to be transmitted to the Supreme Court, we felt there was no reason why they should not transmit the record because we were desperate to get to the Supreme Court before 29th of May 2007. And you know that the judgment was delivered. I think 22nd or 23rd of May 2007, just two days away to the inauguration. Because of the noise I made at the Court of Appeal, I brought in correspondents from Enugu and insisted that the record must move, that they were trying to obstruct the course
of justice, since they have delivered judgment against us, they must allow us to go to a higher court to try our luck and seek justice. It was a very rowdy session that day and at the end of the day, the presiding justice then, Justice Ogebe who later retired at Supreme Court ordered that the record should leave and that record was ferried through difficult circumstances from Enugu to Lagos and from Lagos to Abuja, arriving Abuja in the night. By the next morning, the records were at the Supreme Court, where the Appeal was entered and we were given a date for Monday, 28 of May, 2007. On that
day the Supreme Court said if they find this Appeal meritorious, whether they swear in on 29th of May or not they have to vacate office if they found it meritorious. On the 14th of June, we came to court and they found the Appeal meritorious and agreed that Obi’s tenure would end in 2010 and ordered Andy Uba to vacate that office, that the seat was not vacant when the election was conducted after 17 days in office.
These were the struggle we made and at each stage, Ojukwu gave me the backing and we kept everybody on their toes. So, for Obi’s four years of governorship, we had no respite in our party. Both Ojukwu and other party patriots were on their toes, fighting to protect Obi in office. And again second term election came in 2010, before that time through a combination of antics they were trying to stop Obi
through APGA. And the Independent Electoral Commission leadership found it expedient to bring back Chekwas Okorie from the side door, recognising him as the national chairman of the party. We were in the court with them, fought all the way and in order to preserve the law, the INEC leadership caved in and accepted Peter Obi as the candidate. At that time Ojukwu and myself and other party faithful
went through strenous process of campaigns to get him re-elected, a very difficult re-election for Obi, that Ojukwu had to cry at various rallies, sitting down because his health was failing him at that time. After I got to the podium to solicit for support. I would now invite Ojukwu to make his comment, I would take microphone to where he was sitting and he would cry, ask our people to do him this his last wish, to vote for Peter Obi, that this party should not be allowed to die. It was what he did. He cried at Onitsha, he cried at Otuocha, he cried at Ekwulobia. Then the climax of the report was the final rally
we had at Nnewi, where even myself joined Ojukwu in crying, asking our people not because of any grievances or dissatisfaction based on what Obi must have done or the other to help preserve APGA as a vehicle that Igbos would use in their political journey in Nigeria. Our people hearkened to Ojukwu. The chorus everywhere was this is my last wish, my last wish. Ojukwu at that time saw the election premonitively as a last effort to make for the Igbo people. He said this is my last wish and prophetically it became his last effort to save the Igbos from the political oblivion. They hearkened to that. They
responded. They voted. You see when I looked back, I had every reason to break down emotionally. I was the one running everywhere, coordinating the election, giving pep talk to party people, charging them on because Ojukwu was weak. And I was the state collection agent for Peter Obi again in 2010 and that was the role I played in 2003. I was Peter Obi’s state collation agent in 2003 because 1 would always be at the most difficult spot to save the party.
In 2010, because we were desperate Ojukwu asked me Mr. Chairman, stop at nothing, make sure we don’t fail. I promised him. And after the mobilisation we did, flying around with Ojukwu because we were moving in an helicopter to move him round, he couldn’t travel by road. We did all that and at the end, our people listened to Ojukwu’s call. And we won. We won the election.
So, what you are saying in this your story is that APGA is still formidable to win elections?
I am coming. I am giving you a story because I will land. I will soon land. When we won that election, go back to 17th March 2010, when Obi was inaugurated for a second term in office, Ojukwu placed one page advertorial for me in the Daily Sun, where he said “the might of a warrior is tested only in battle.” He saluted me and said congratulations to ‘Ohamadike,’ the hardest working chairman of a party in
the Federation of Nigeria. Ojukwu signed it. That was the last thing he put down that I have in my record to remember him, his deep appreciation of the way I rallied the party to get Obi to be re-elected for the second term because at a time in our party nobody wanted Obi to become our candidate again. Ojukwu out of anger had to go to raise another person’s hand, Emeka Etiaba. I had to prevail on him through counselling and pleading for us to give him another chance. So, we did. That was the last election he contested, which he won. From that time until he left office, we are passing through one crisis
or the other. Apart from the crisis we passed through because of the spate of litigation, we were dragged into by Chekwas Okorie, when he was removed as chairman. We stayed together, we survived all of them. Since 2010, when he became a governor for second term, we never had rest in the party. How can somebody therefore come to Anambra State and say that Peter Obi was the person defeating PDP and not APGA. And now that Obi has gone to PDP, APGA is finished. From this short and brief account I have given you, Obi owes his political successes and journey to APGA as a political party. Without
APGA, he couldn’t have been anything politically. For the other people who defected from the House of Representatives, I have reacted before and I said he is the one who told them to defect, hoping to join them soon and he has now joined them. Instead of APGA diminishing, we are receiving people into the party. When the four members of the House of Representatives defected, the screaming headline was that all the APGA members in the House of Reps has decamped to PDP, yet Hon. Emeka Nwogbo did not defect with other people, one person who defected, recanted immediately and came back, Hon. Afam
Ogene, making them two. And just last month decampees from PDP, Hon. Chriscato Ameke, representing Anambra East/West in the House of Reps decamped to APGA. We now still have three. The next day after Obi defected, we received over 7,000 persons in Delta State. APGA is booming everywhere. On the October 3rd, we had a ground-breaking rally in Imo State to launch APGA programme ahead of 2015 general elections. The crowd that came to Grasshoppers Stadium in Owerri was unprecedented. And you can see the new life in APGA because Obi’s defection to PDP was belated. It was belated action.
Through my deft management of issues in the party, last year we were able to elect a successor to Obi on the platform of APGA. We have Governor Obiano. Just six months in office, you can see the difference. He went to Owerri with me on the 3rd of October in a public rally, charging like a lion that APGA will win Imo State but on record I said it previously, people said that I was quarrelling with Obi. For eight years, Obi was the Governor of Anambra State, he did not attend any APGA rally outside the state. All the rally we had in the South East, he did not attend. He did not attend Okorocha’s rally. I
was alone. Ojukwu was bedridden. He did not go to Abia. He did not go to Ebonyi. He went nowhere and sometime he told people who cared to ask him that he would not be leading his party to contest against his brother governors in the other parties in the South East because he was the chairman of South East Governors’ Forum .That was the lame excuse he gave for not doing that. But look at the new Governor: ‘Yes we are supporting President Jonathan but we are contesting all other positions.’
Obiano would always roar it in the presence of anybody without looking back. He is defending his party. In Imo State on 3rd of October, I was in the car travelling with him to Owerri. And he got through to Rochas Okorocha and told him ‘Your Excellency, I just want to report to you that I am coming into your territory for party function and it would be peaceful. And when we go there, we will soon go away, just to report to you that I am coming into your territory, thank you very much.’
And we went to the rally and he told them that we must take Imo State in 2015, yet he has spoken to the sitting governor of Imo State. This is leadership. So, you have to compare and contrast to know whether APGA is in a position to grow strong now or when we had a governor who was not proud to be called a member of APGA. Things have changed for the party now. In Anambra State, APGA officers are in the protocol list of the Government House. For eight years, my brother was governor of Anambra State even myself Chief Victor Umeh was hardly recognised in a state function as the National
Chairman of APGA. It became a taboo to mention anything APGA in state functions. Today, the governor will recognise all the party officers present. If I were present, he would describe me as distinguished leader of the party, the national chairman of our party, Ogbunigwe, whether you like it or not . This is the way to promote your party. He flies the flag of the party everywhere. The other time, I went to the Villa with Obiano, he flew APGA flag in his car in and out.
So, why should somebody now come and tell me that some people have defected, that the party is dying. Are people understanding how these things work? The governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano is in command of the operations of APGA in Anambra State. The party has members of the state executive council of Anambra State, the party has 21 Local Government chairmen, the party has
318 councillors. Then look at all the other parastatals, then the markets are under the control of the governor. So the political structure in Anambra State is under the control of somebody who is courageous and bold to assert his party. What does the party lose? That Mr Obi defected to PDP and PDP is celebrating an empty bag. They are celebrating an empty bag. There is nothing inside it. So, if
PDP thinks that they are celebrating Obi, election is imminent, we are going to show them that APGA is irrepressible. It is the movement of our people. Even if I leave APGA as chairman today, nothing will happen to APGA. APGA is like a spirit and you cannot kill a spirit. Okorocha described APGA as a religion of the Igbo people. Have you seen where religion is conquered? Go and conquer Islam, go and conquer Christianity..You cannot. Our people will not under any circumstance abandon this party in Nigeria. If they do, they are finished in Nigeria. And I know they will never do.
Since Obi announced his defection, I have received over 2,000 text messages from even ordinary people, urging me to be strong, that they are standing behind me and Governor Willie Obiano. That is the way to test whether I have lost anything . So, APGA is more than ever before a very strong ticket and in this general elections, from what we have been doing, it is going to be surprise to Nigeria.
