Anambra Central: Afa Igbo Efuna Endorses Victor Umeh for January 13th Election Re-run

•By Nnaemeka Ikerionwu

The former National Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Umeh is set to have a smooth ride to victory in the January 13th Anambra Central rerun election as Afa Igbo Efuna political movement throws its weight behind Ohamadike Ndigbo.


In all his political endeavours, Victor Umeh has left nobody in doubt that he is the man. It will be repeating history to recall his grand performance at the National Conference even as he was late to the Conference. He championed the course of Ndigbo and got the conveners to listen to the voice of reason in the marginalisation of his people.

When the first Anambra Central Senatorial election was held in March 2015, Umeh was clearly the popular choice even before the election.

However, there was a grand conspiracy to ensure that he did not get to the Senate. That conspiracy later snowballed into one of the most intriguing political upset in our political history where the People’s Democratic Party candidate, against the popular wish of the people, was declared winner of the election.

Victor Umeh, as one of the main pillars of APGA, is destined to be a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Even Igwe Innocent Obodoaka, the traditional ruler in Agulu community said while recalling that he conferred on the ex-APGA’s helmsman, his cherished traditional title of ‘Ohamadike’ because of his achievements: “Our ancestors have confirmed that you are destined for the Senate. Umeh has seen suffering for Igbo people and so God and our ancestors confirmed him as Senator designate. We gave him the title of Ohamadike. God will see him through and lead him”.

I'm personally grateful to Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah who championed the Afa Igbo Efuna movement that obviously led to the massive win for Governor Willie Obiano in the just concluded election.

The endorsement by Afa Igbo Efuna is a signal that Umeh is already crusing to victory just like Akpokue Dike Global.

Ndi Anambra, Afa Igbo Agaghi Efu na Senate.
