A former National chairman of All
Progressives Grand Alliance, Chief Victor
Umeh, is to lead the re-election bid of Gov.
Willie Obiano of Anambra in the November
18 governorship poll in the state.
Umeh, who was appointed the Director-
General of the campaign, was inaugurated
with others in Awka on Tuesday.
Other members of the team include the
Deputy Governor of Anambra, Dr. Nkem
Okeke, members of the National Working
Committee of APGA, Willie Obiano Support
Group, APGA Youth and Women wings.
The inauguration comes weeks after the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) said
there would be no election in the state
unless a referendum is held to decide
Biafra.
During the inauguration, Obiano urged the
team to be dedicated and go all out to
mobilise the people for APGA and his
administration.
He said the people were specially selected
and that he would rely on their strategies to
make progress in the campaigns. He advised
members of the team not to be bothered by
the crisis in the leadership of APGA as the
matter had been settled by the courts.
In his acceptance remark, Umeh pledged the
determination of members of the team to
ensure the re-election of the governor. He
said Obiano had done well and deserved a
second term.
He promised that the committee would
engage in serious grassroots mobilisation
and information dissemination on the good
works of the governor.
