APGA’s Political Conclave

The now popular political conclave amongst the Aspirants was strictly a measure to discourage the unwholesome political rancors and spendings where Aspirants are fleeced of hard earned resources often to a point of insolvency. Again, none of the Aspirants objected to this, as they all participated in it and voted for the one who got the affirmation of the Party delegates.

I am not surprised that some characters, who have planned out their survival on the supposed deep pockets of some Aspirants, are crying fowl in a process the Aspirants themselves have esteemed so highly. The misinformation that the APGA candidate is unpopular is a reflection of the misnomer that tends to raise powerful individuals above strong institutions — APGA thinks differently and would always act differently.

For those spreading the rather laughable claim that Governor Soludo selected a candidate in the just concluded APGA primaries, your mischief came late and cannot in any way affect the fortunes of the Party come August 16. APGA candidates for the by-elections are credible and would rely on the strong grassroot appeal of the Party to win the elections by a landslide.

All Party faithfuls are happy that for the first time in many years, APGA has conducted a seamless primary election where the candidates have emerged through consensus and a resounding affirmative vote by the Party’s delegates from the affected wards.

Congratulations to the Candidates in advance.
