Prince Collins Agbasiere, state secretary of APGA Apostles in Anambra says APGA Apostles is not a support group like others pursuing personal interests and fizzle out after elections to chase contracts and appointments.
Agbasiere who had an exclusive session with HEADLINE NEWS on the workings and modus operandi of APGA Apostles, explained that APGA Apostles is not a fair weather support group that disappears into the air after electioneering campaigns or dies naturally if its principal political party loses an election rather APGA Apostles believes in loyalty forever to the All Progressives Grand Alliance.
Agbasiere told HEADLINE NEWS that APGA Apostles are emissaries and forerunners of good governance as championed by the ruling party in Anambra, stressing that the group is deeply committed to ensuring that all APGA candidates win elections across Nigeria.
He therefore emphasized that the sole objective of APGA Apostles is to support the party and her candidates to win elections. That APGA Apostles can be best described as the first son of APGA because they are the tale bearers of the party.
He stated that the sole aim of support groups was to play a role during elections and thereafter return to oblivion but APGA Apostles, according to him, is with the party at all times and seasons.
He stated that nothing would make the group to compromise the interest of the party instead APGA Apostles would work to deliver the party's candidates in all elections.
Agbasiere noted that APGA Apostles is a national body with its headquarters at the Federal Capital Territory Abuja. Although he said that the takeoff point of the group was Anambra state, APGA Apostles has inaugurated structures in all the 326 political wards of the state; penetrating the hinterlands and winning souls for the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
According to him, APGA Apostles have launched the Polling Unit Register which he said would be manned by an APGA Apostle Polling Unit Chairman even as he disclosed that the group already has five executives in each of the political wards in the state, adding that the duty of the ward executives is to traverse the communities where there are polling units and generate 60 names which are registered voters that will vote for APGA in any election.
Agbasiere further disclosed that APGA Apostles have structures in Ebonyi and Imo states and would continue in that regard until it conquered the entire Southeast and make APGA a leading political party in the zone.
He said they would not stop at the Southeast but would continue to make inroads into other geopolitical zones as time progresses.
He however made it categorically clear that APGA Apostles is loyal to APGA and the national chairman of the party Barr. Sly Ezeokenwa, whom they attended and witnessed the convention where he was unanimously elected as the national chairman of APGA.
Agbasiere said APGA Apostles does not know where Edozie Njoku was elected national chairman of APGA and as a result, the group is strictly under the leadership of Barr. Sly Ezeokenwa.
The APGA chieftain who stated that APGA Apostles have inaugurated its zonal chapters in the three senatorial zones of the state, maintained that the group is loyal to Barr. Sly Ezeokenwa who according to him is the national chairman of APGA and under whose watch the September 28 Anambra Local Government Elections would be conducted.
Agbasiere who emphasized that APGA Apostles' loyalty to Barr. Sly Ezeokenwa and Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo is indivisible, said APGA Apostles structures will continue to expand and continue to propagate, project and promote the good deeds of the APGA government in Anambra and beyond.
