BREAKING: Retired Justice, Peter Umeadi wins APGA’s 2023 presidential ticket

Professor Peter Umeadi has clinched the presidential ticket of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) for the 2023 presidential election.

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Prof Umeadi clinched the presidential ticket of APGA on Wednesday at a special convention of the party.

The special convention was attended by party leaders and members drawn from the six geo-political zones of the country.

At the convention held at the Katampe-Abuja national headquarters of the party, a total of 150 delegates affirmed the candidacy of Prof. Umeadi by a voice vote.

TNG reports Umeadi is a professor of law and a former Chief Judge of Anambra State.

Speaking shortly after emerging as the presidential candidate of APGA, he promised to make Nigeria a great country every Nigerian would be proud of if elected president of the country in the 2023 general election.

Umeadi, who joined APGA in 2019 after retiring as the Chief Judge of Anambra State on March 1, 2019, was announced a law professor by the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) the same year.

Umeadi said his decision to join partisan politics was to keep his brain active, adding that any person who retires and goes to sleep ends up having his brain asleep.

Upon joining APGA, the ex-CJ stressed the need for an Igbo man to be given the opportunity to be president of Nigeria.

“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,” he said then.

Meanwhile, the National Chairman of the party, Chief Victor Oye thanked party members for travelling the length and breadth of the country to attend the convention.

He expressed optimism that come 2023, Umeadi would be sworn in as President, Federal Republic of Nigeria.
