The governor soludo’s aide, Uba and others made this known while speaking to newsmen in Onitsha, ahead of the local government election billed to take place in the twenty one local government areas of the state.

in their separate reactions, Uba said, “Seeing is believing, you can see the organic crowd, APGA supporters at Dr. Alex Ekwueme Centre, this is APGA land, we are not contesting with any party, Anambra is in full support of Soludo because of the transformation he has brought to the state, that include, road, human capital development, free ante natal, among others.

“My message for other parties, let them know that they don’t have anything good for the state, they will see it on the local Government election day,” he vowed.

Also, ASMATA chairman, Anuna said that, “Soludo needs our support, that is why all the communities in Anambra state were at the APGA mega campaign rally flag off at Dr Alex Ekwueme Centre, Awka, to support Soludo, Anambra is APGA.

“I advise other parties that pretend as if they exist like in Onitsha South, the PDP candidate is from Enugu state. Since they have such a candidate, they call Zeruwa,, don’t you know that they have problem, it means they don’t have anybody from Anambra state but Enugu, so the party has failed on arrival,” Anuna affirmed.

The Onitsha Main market chairman, Ezeoha added that, “We, from Aguata want to give Anambra state the best of our capabilities. I have two places to deliver to APGA, Aguata and Onitsha South council areas. To give necessary support to the APGA candidates, chairmen and counselors, that will work with Soludo so that he will continue to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people.

“If Onitsha is good, Anambra will be good and if Main market is good Anambra will be good. This is why we are out to give Anambra the best. We are ready to deliver APGA on 28 September this week, Governor Soludo has assured us that APGA is going to win,” he disclosed.

In her contribution, the ASMATA Women leader, Mrs. Okonkwo said that free medical care especially to pregnant mothers is one of the good things Governor Soludo did to the people of the State.

“With this free medical care to pregnant mothers I advise mothers to be pregnant. I recall when pregnant mothers could not afford their hospital bills. So Soludo has come to the rescue.

“APGA Wii sweep the poll in the council election because of the good work of Soludo, He also through ASMATA restored peace and tranquility in the markets,” she further disclosed.

Also the Chairmen of Haruna and Sokoto street markets, Chiefs Emmanuel Idoko and Emeka Mbachu respectively, reiterated that the achievements of Soludo will give APGA 21/21 come the local Government election billed for 28 September.

According to them,” other political parties know that they don’t exist in the state and that is why most of them did not show interest on the council race” they stated.
