Scores of aggrieved ward chairmen of the All Progressives
Grand Alliance, APGA in Anambra State on Tuesday staged a protest
against the party.
They threatened to mobilised forces against the party in
the this month's general elections if nothing was done to assuage them
within one week.
The chairmen said that rather than vote for APGA, it would
rather vote for any party that negotiates with them , because it already
feels disenchanted about the party.
Speaking through their leader, Mr Nzeakor Onyeaka, the
group said they had not been carried along by the APGA government in
Anambra State since 2015.
They enjoined the state governor, Willie Obiano, to address
the issue or they would work with the opposition in the state and bring
down APGA in the poll
The group, which claimed that it had no fewer than 1600
members across the 326 wards in the state alleged that its members were
denied appointments by the APGA government.
"We're hungry. Our members suffered to sustain APGA in the state, yet we were not remembered in any way.
"Our protest today is to show that we are human, capable to
pick offence. What we are telling the world today is that we are
hungry; and that were open to be hired by the opposition in this
election to work against APGA.
"This is not how political parties should be run. You don't
impoverish soldiers you intend to go to war with and expect success in
such war.
"If after a week, the governor does not address our problem
we shall mobilise forces to vote against APGA in this election ", the
group stated.
