The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has reaffirmed its commitment and unalloyed support for the re-election of Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano in the forthcoming elections.

This was disclosed in a communiqué issued at the end of its National Working Committee (NWC) meeting, held in Awka on Friday.

The communiqué, read by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Ifeatu Obi-Okoye passed a vote of confidence on the governor, citing his achievements since assuming office, as some of the reasons that necessitated his endorsement to run for a second term in office.

The party commended Obiano for the prompt and regular payment of workers’ salaries, improved security and agricultural output in the state as well as his efforts in road construction and rural electrification.

“The NWC reaffirms and reiterates its unequivocal commitment to the re-election of Obiano, who has won several outstanding awards, for a second term in office in the November 18 election in the state,” Obi-Okoye said.

One of the high points of the meeting was the appointment of five new officers in acting capacities pending ratification by the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party, to replace the seven members that were expelled at the December 21, 2016 NEC meeting.

 Those appointed were Mr. Stephen Nwoga (Lagos), Deputy Organising Secretary, Mrs. Elizabeth Nwokocha (Imo), Deputy Financial Secretary and Ms. Ada Nwanyanwu (Imo), National Women Leader.

Others are Mr. Chinedu Nebeife (Enugu), National Youth Leader and Mr. Uche Nwegbo, National Vice Chairman, South-East.
