2023 elections review: What the APGA committee is expected to do

While inaugurating the committee, Sir Obi charged members to review the last National and state assembly elections held in the state and submit their report to the state secretariat in the form of advice or recommendations.

Among other things, the APGA boss reminded that the party's performance on February 25 and March 18 elections was far below what they should be.

He, therefore, urged that the committee should look inwards, unravel the factors responsible for the backward performance of the party in the recent elections; roles played by members of the party (if any) in selling out the party's fortunes, and how the party could survive in Anambra state, make in-road into other states, and improve its fortunes in future exercises.

March 18 election: Did Soludo spend N3.5bn to buy votes for APGA candidates?

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra state said that the report making the rounds that he spent N3.5 billion to buy votes for House of Assembly candidates of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), during the March 18 elections in Anambra was untrue.

The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), had, in a statement at the weekend, accused Governor Soludo of coveting a whooping N3.5 billion of the tax-payers' money, which he shared with stakeholders and voters at different constituencies to help candidates of his party to win.
