From Our Correspondent
Awka, Feb. 17, ’25 (TNZ) The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has adopted a grassroots approach to deepen its electioneering campaign ahead of the 2025 governorship election in Anambra.
TheNewsZenith reports that the approach is known as the Solution Kindred Initiative (SKI).
Chief Ifeatu Obi-Okoye, Chairman of APGA in Anambra State, announced this at a stakeholders retreat for Local Government and Ward party Chairmen in Awka.
Obi-Okoye said the leadership is remodelling the party’s strategy to present a common front ahead of the 2025 election and beyond.
“We inaugurated SKI on April 6, 2024, and this is our greatest achievement.
“It is about taking the APGA message, not just to the local governments and wards but to every kindred known as the ‘Umunna’.
“We are making sure the party is rooted in traditional governance to promote inclusivity of the grassroots in the governance process.
“We recognise that the kindreds are the original grassroots and the majority of voters.
“So, having APGA structure in over 12,000 kindreds in the state is crucial as we prepare for the election,” TheNewsZenith quotes Obi-Okoye as saying.
He said the retreat was to build the capacity of local government and ward party chairmen.

According to him, this is to ensure synergy in implementing the grassroots mobilisation strategy.
“Gov. Chukwuma Soludo’s massive infrastructure development and reforms have garnered widespread support among the people.
“This is a signal that he has done 50 per cent of the mobilisation and campaign.
“The remaining 50 per cent is left for us as party stakeholders. Let us put APGA in the lips of all in Anambra so that our party can maintain its dominance and emerge victorious,” he added.
Also speaking, Mr Sylvester Ezeokenwa, the National Chairman of APGA, commended Obi-Okoye for the initiative to drive mobilisation and galvanise support for the party.
Ezeokenwa also commended Gov. Soludo for making APGA proud by fulfilling his campaign promises and bringing value to the people.
He urged Local Government Chairmen to emulate the governor by executing tangible projects that would impact people’s lives.
“The success of APGA depends on mobilisation at the grassroots.
“The positive agenda of our LG chairmen will make people join and vote for our party in the coming election,” TheNewsZenith quotes him saying. (TNZ)
