Ahead of next month’s gubernatorial election in Imo State, the Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Tony Ejiogu has made a case for peace among Imolites, political parties, and stakeholders in the State.
Ejiogu made this important call after signing a peace accord alongside other candidates at the Assumpta Cathedral in Owerri earlier in the week.
Speaking to newsmen after signing the accord, the APGA candidate pointed out it was important that all political actors and other stakeholders in the state commit to peaceful electoral conduct as the democratic process cannot be deemed credible if it is held in an atmosphere that is devoid of peace.

Ejiogu also took use of the occasion to reaffirm his dedication to providing servant leadership that is intentional, people-centered, and focused on achieving social justice, sound governance, security, and employment for the sake of the state’s overall growth.
‘I am truly committed to rebuilding Imo state with your support. In recent times our state has underperformed, and my core mandate is to bring about social-economic change that will touch all the facets of our dear state’.
Ejiogu further maintained that his 5-point agenda for the state has been painstakingly designed to address all the challenges currently experienced while noting that security, local government autonomy, education, employment and welfare of civil servants and pensioners stand tall in his agenda.
According to him, “Our government shall be a reflection of our lifestyle of modesty and accessibility, voting for me under APGA will deliver the Imo state we desire and deserve.”
