June 01, (THEWILL) – A retired Chief Judge of Anambra State, Prof Peter Umeadi, has emerged winner of the Presidential primary of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) for the 2023 general elections.
Umeadi was elected on Wednesday, at a special convention held at the Katampe-Abuja national headquarters of the party. His candidacy was affirmed by a total of 150 delegates by a voice vote.
National chairman of the party, Chief Victor Oye, while thanking party members for travelling the length and breadth of the country to attend the convention, expressed optimism that in 2023, Umeadi would be sworn in as President, Federal Republic of Nigeria.
On his part, Umeadi promised to make Nigeria a great country every Nigerian would be proud of, if elected.
Umeadi, a professor of Law, joined APGA in 2019, after retiring as the Chief Judge of Anambra State on March 1, 2019.
Upon joining APGA, the ex-CJ stressed the need for an Igbo man to be given the opportunity to be president of Nigeria.
Umeadi had said, ”It is only when an Igbo man is allowed to be in-charge of Nigeria for eight years, that things will get better. Igbos have the highest investment in Nigeria, and Nigerians must support them in their presidential bid in 2023, if things must move well.”
