Arch Okonkwo said that he joined the party because of the numerous developmental strides of Governor Chukwuma Soludo that has changed the socioeconomic landscape of the state.

He maintained that Governor Soludo's sterling performance was what endured him to the party, and revealed that he won Aguluezechukwu Ward for the APC in the last governorship election, promising to do same with APGA.

Chief Okonkwo during the event promised to pay one year office rent of the party, as they complained that they have no official party office.

Decoration of Chief Okonkwo with APGA clothe as well as issuing of the party card to him among others formed the highlights of the event.

We don't want that party in Anambra. They brought killings and violence when Uba was running on their platform.

Anambra is an APGA state for the most part. Every politician seeks the best platform to attain their ambitions.
