2019: APGA to unveil presidential candidate October 7

THE All Progressives Grand Alliance, (APGA), will field a presidential candidate in the forthcoming general elections. National chairman of the party, Victor Oye made the disclosure on Tuesday at a news briefing.

Oye told journalists that General Paul Gbor and Jerry Chukwueke would be presented on October 7 as presidential candidate and running mate, respectively ahead of the February election.

Findings revealed that since its inception the opposition party had only fielded the late Odumegwu Ojukwu as its presidential candidate in 2003 while it adopted the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party in 2011 and 2015.

Oye who was silent on the mode of primary the party would adopted in picking its candidates for elections, assured that the process would be free and fair.

He noted that the membership drive in APGA was to ensure that the Party attain its desired national spread.
