Anambra Polls: APGA Candidate Adopts Ikemba Front to Ensure Victory ARTICLE | OCTOBER 26, 2013 - 7:39AM | BY AUGUSTINE AMINU The candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the November 16 governorship election in Anambra, Dr Willie Obiano, has adopted the Ikemba Solidarity Front (ISF) as part of his campaign group. The Coordinator of the campaign group, Mba Iloka, made this known in Awka on Friday that the adoption of the Ikemba Solidarity Front, under the leadership of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Jnr, would strengthen the ambition and efforts of Obiano to become the state governor. He noted that Ojukwu (Jnr), the son of the late Ikemba of Nnewi, Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu, who was one of the founding fathers of the party, expressed his support for APGA as a way of immortalising his father. ``The honour and respect given to the late Ikemba, during and after his lifetime, should be sustained by electing an APGA candidate to succeed Governor Peter Obi. ``Ojukwu was the National Leader of APGA, he had wished that Anambra state would remain an APGA-controlled state,’’ he said. Iloka stressed that the citizens of Anambra had nothing to lose if they voted for the continuation of an APGA government, adding that Governor Obi had worked for the development of all the council areas of the state. ``Obi has done well. Let us avoid sentiments and vote for APGA. Obiano has all it takes to be the next governor of the state. ``He is academically sound and he is well-equipped to govern the state. Governance is not for touts or ill-prepared persons who would take Anambra back to square one,’’ he said. Iloka said that the Ikemba Solidarity Front had started door-to door, office-to-office and market-to-market campaign for Obiano. He said that the group never believed in rigging or thuggery, adding that it would ensure APGA’s victory via hard work.
