Political Reality

Version 1.0

Soludo, in his acceptance speech after a resounding 93.6% victory at the APGA Primary election, promised to present his Manifesto to ndi Anambra – a Manifesto of Transformative Consolidation. 

Yours sincerely have not seen it. But, if it is coming from Soludo through APGA, then I have high expectations that would certainty be met. Soludo has a track record of excellence and APGA has a record of consistency greeted with a cult of local allegiance. This mix cannot be outsmarted or outwitted. 

What many do not remember is that the achievements of Peter Obi and its accompanying liabilities are not transferable. Same applies to Governor Obiano. As much as individual capacity is important, platform remains the pivot. 

While Peter is finding it hard in the PDP, locked in the war of attrition with unyielding landlords, it would be difficult, as in the Ngige experience, to make any progress under a hostile platform. This is one reality that always pans out after every political outing.
