- Addressing a gathering of supporters in Owerri North, the APGA candidate promised a new era in Imo politics, vowing to initiate a resurgence
Tony Ejiogu, the Imo State governorship candidate for the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), urged the people of the state to refrain from selling their votes to the highest bidder.
He made this plea while concluding his campaign, emphasizing his dedication to serving the state with integrity.
Addressing a gathering of supporters in Owerri North, the APGA candidate promised a new era in Imo politics, vowing to initiate a resurgence.
He highlighted the need to rebuild Imo and restore its former glory, addressing issues such as insecurity, inadequate infrastructure, unemployment, a struggling healthcare system, and the welfare of workers and pensioners.
“I speak to your consciences. Let’s all come together and make this project a reality. Vote and protect your vote; stand there and make sure your vote is counted. There will be no voter intimidation.”
He added, “I have presented myself and taken the bold step, and we are well-positioned to move Imo to the promised land. Yes, there’s hunger in the land, but change your mindset and don’t accept money to vote for people who will still keep you in bondage. Let’s make things right.”
While urging his party supporters and Imolites to troop out en masse to vote for APGA come Saturday, November 11, Ejiogu urged them to conduct themselves in a peaceful manner and ensure that their votes count.
Those present at the event included the state chairman of APGA, the deputy governorship candidate, the Director-General of the Tony Ejiogu Campaign, ward chairmen, women, youth leaders, elder statesmen, and a host of other stakeholders.
