 The APGA National Executive Committee (NEC) has appointed Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo CFR, Governor of Anambra State, as the party's National Leader.


During the APGA NEC meeting held at the International Convention Center in Awka, the members unanimously agreed to appoint Governor Soludo as the party's leader.

Governor Soludo, upon receiving the certificate of appointment, stated that it is a great pleasure, with a sense of humility and gratitude to God, to humbly accept the honor of being the national leader of APGA.

"This has humbled me! I'm feeling the weight of history right now. The APGA is a coalition of all progressives. I feel the weight of our forebearers and those who have sacrificed their lives to ensure the survival of this great party "Soludo stated.

"There was a grand progressive alliance in the first and second republics that included the UPN, RPP, NPP, and others.

"All of the progressives are dispersed throughout this republic. APGA is a 21-year-old political party that was the first to be registered with the word "progressives" in its name.

"All progressives call APGA home. It's a history with two leaders, and I'm honored to be the third "Soludo persisted.

"I must pay tribute to my predecessors, Late Sir Chukwuemeka Ojukwu of blessed memory, the first National Leader of the APGA, Chief Willie Obiano, my immediate predecessor as the APGA's second leader, and here I am.

"I pledge to work every day with all of you, our thronging members, so that all progressives in Nigeria know that APGA is their home.

"APGA is the third largest political party in Nigeria and will grow from strength to strength. When the country is ready, APGA will be there to provide the true progressivism that Nigeria craves," Soludo said.

"APGA has the potential to make Nigeria the world's largest black nation. APGA has the potential to expand its domain in Nigeria. We have representation in the Governorship, House of Representatives, and National House of Assembly.

"We have a responsibility to work very hard to maintain and expand our pace," Soludo said.


"This great party has my personal commitment. I came to this platform after many thoughtful years, and I read the party's constitution and manifesto. It is the first political party to pledge support for true federalism.

"APGA is still the road map to a better Nigeria. I will uphold this party's principles and ethics "Soludo says.

"Because our motto is "leave no one behind," our policies and programs are centered on the people. We are supporters. APGA promotes competitiveness, competence, and a unified Nigeria. We didn't care which state you were from when we were recruiting. We will hire you once you have proven to be the best! We began paying the teachers we hired during their documentation.

"We increased employee pay by 10%. This is a pro-people government because that is who we are. We leave no one behind, which is why we are progressives who care about people.

"We are working on power to provide 24 hour power. We're getting started. People will have access to high-speed wifi and internet thanks to the installation of 2000 kilometers of fiber optic cable "Soludo stated.

"We are living the true essence of our party, which is progressivism and unity.

"APGA will win in the coming months, and then the real work will begin. We will run for every office in the country and, by God's grace, we will win.

"I must commend APGA's outstanding leadership, particularly in difficult circumstances. This leadership you have demonstrated will benefit future generations of APGA supporters. We must work hard to preserve our party's name and greatness" Soludo came to an end.

Ozonkpu In his address, Victor Oye, National President of APGA, welcomed everyone to the first NEC meeting in 2023.

He expressed his joy and gratitude to Governor Soludo for allowing him to witness the momentum in the state.

"Anambra State is synonymous with development, and we pray to God to keep its leadership in place," Ozonkpu said.

"All our State Chairmen from 36 states of the country and BOT Chairmen are all represented here.

"Our party has made tremendous progress, and all of the goals we set for 2022 have been met. We met the criteria for uploading data from ward to national level APGA candidates, produced a list of officers, and completed the exercise in 21 days.

"APGA was the first political party to meet the INEC deadline prior to the opening of our functional ICT center with 55 ports in 2019.

"I can monitor the uploading of party agents in real time on my phone," he explained.

"In 2021, we held our primaries in Awka on June 21st, and Governor Soludo emerged as the APGA Candidate and went on to win the Governorship election, and he is now seated here with us as the Governor of Anambra State.

"I've always said that no one can curse someone whom God has blessed. Governor Soludo is a visionary, and God Almighty will keep him alive so that he can complete his mission on Earth "Ozonkpu said a prayer.

"The state faced critical challenges in areas such as roads, security, health, employment, and education. Eight local governments in the state were under siege, but they have now been liberated.

"The APGA and NEC are extremely proud of our Governor! We have a brand new Secretariat in Abuja on 4000 square meters of land, as well as a five-story regional headquarters in Awka.

"This party's leadership will change over the next six months. We did our best, and now it is up to posterity and the people to judge us "He persisted.

"APGA is based in Anambra State. This is where APGA was conceived. The goal is to have regional headquarters throughout Nigeria.

"We are building these institutions to entrench democracy, to achieve a greater APGA for the future."

First Lithium Processing Plant In Nigeria Under Construction In Kaduna

Work Against Me And Regret It, Kwankwaso Warns Ganduje


 The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has said whoever works against him in Kano in the forthcoming 2023 presidential election will regret it. 


Ganduje had recently told party supporters in the state that Kano will repeat what happened in the 1993 presidential election when it supported a southern candidate (late MKO Abiola) and rejected a citizen of the state (late Bashir Tofa), in a reference to voting massively for Tinubu against Kwankwaso.

But responding days after, Kwankwaso said, “I had a rally not long ago, which was one of the best rallies. I had one in Wudil, the southern senatorial district. I had one in Bichi, northern senatorial district. I opened my office in Kano Central and one of the best rallies because, you can’t compare it with the ones by some of the candidates who had crowds that came to Kano from neighbouring states and so on.

Now, you see, I don’t want to talk about that man. I don’t know whether he said it or not. But the reality is that, anybody who work against NNPP or Kwankwaso in 2023, one day, he will regret it, that he made a mistake.

“Anybody who knows me, who knows my antecedents believes that, if I win this presidential election, Kano will have maximum benefit, of course northern Nigeria will benefit and of course the country.

“So, I am surprised if you go and say I should hold a rally. Rally, I have done many rallies in Kano. In just recent months, January and December in Kano, in all the three senatorial districts. So, what is the problem about holding rally in Kano?”

2023: Court Dismisses PDP's Suit Seeking Disqualification Of Tinubu, Shettima


 The Abuja division of the Federal High Court, has dismissed the suit filed by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’ seeking the disqualification of Sen. Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), and his vice, Mr Kassim Shettima, for the 2023 general elections.


In his judgment, Justice Inyang Ekwo, dismissed the suit on the ground that the PDP lacked locus standi to institute the suit.

Justice Ekwo, who held that the case was caught by the principle of issue estoppel, described the suit as an abuse of court process.

PDP had in its originating summons marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1734/2022, sued the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), APC, Tinubu and Shettima as 1st to 4th defendants respectively.

In the suit filed on July 28, 2022, the party challenged the validity of Sen. Tinubu to contest for the 2023 presidential election as APC candidate on the ground that Mr Shettima’s nomination as his running mate was in breach of the provisions of Sections 29(1), 33, 35 and 84{1)}(2)} of the Electoral Act, 2022 (as amended).

It argued that Shettima’s nomination to contest the position of vice president and Borno Central Senatorial seat contravened the law.


The PDP, which sought an order disqualifying the APC, Tinubu and Shettima from contesting the presidential election scheduled for Feb. 25, also sought an order nullifying their candidacy.

It further sought an order compelling INEC to remove their names from its list of nominated or sponsored candidates eligible to contest the poll.

But the defendants, in their preliminary objection filed by Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, urged the court to dismiss the suit for want of jurisdiction.

They argued that the plaintiff (PDP) lacked the locus standi (legal right) to file the case, which invariably was challenging the political party’s decision and its nomination of candidates for the polls.

They further submitted that such act was an internal affairs of APC which they argued was non-justiciable.

Justice Ekwo in his judgment agreed with the defendants that the PDP had no locus standi to file the matter.

According to him,.where there is no locus, the court has no jurisdiction.
He said the court found that the action was incompetent for lack of locus standi.
Ekwo held that that matter bordered on the internal affairs of the APC in which the PDP lacked locus to file the case.

On argument about non-disclosure of cause of action against the respondents, the judge said that there was a nexus between locus standi and a cause of action.
He, therefore, said that since the PDP had no locus standi, it also did not have any cause of action against the defendants.

Justice Ekwo also agreed with the defendants that the suit was an abuse of court process.

“It is express in the provision of Section 29 (5) of the Electoral Act, 2022 that the right of action on the matter for which the applicant/respondent (PDP) has filed this action is given to ‘any aspirant who participated in the primaries of his political party’,” he said.


The judge said that it had been established that the PDP was not an aspirant of the APC.

“Therefore, there is no iota of law which support this action. It is on this ground that I find that this case is an abuse of process and I so hold,” he said.
Justice Ekwo, consequently, dismissed the suit for constituting an abuse of court process.
