Peter Umeadi, a former chief judge of Anambra state, has
been elected as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Grand
Alliance (APGA).
He was declared the winner of the primary election which was
held on Wednesday.
Umeadi was unopposed in the primary as his candidacy was
affirmed by 150 delegates at a special convention of the party in the Katampe
area of Abuja.
He retired as chief judge on March 1, 2019, and subsequently
joined the party in his ward in the Anaocha area of Anambra.
In April, while canvassing for the ticket of APGA, Umeadi
described himself as the best candidate to win the 2023 presidential election
for the party.
Umeadi, who said it was time for a south-easterner to be
elected president, noted that he has the capacity to reposition Nigeria in four
years.
“It is not possible for us to achieve economic, educational,
scientific, sporting or sufficiency breakthrough when we are hungry, insecure
and unstable,” he had said.
“Nigerians are
traumatised on daily basis from wanton killings. We know that insecurity, among
other fallout, has driven our people away from the farms, creating artificial
scarcity of food and earning power.
“Therefore, Nigeria requires change which only good
leadership can provide. We need to change the way we think so we can change the
way we do things. If I get the ticket of APGA, then, we stand a good chance to
win the presidential election in 2023.”
Umeadi said he would lead the country with “firmness and
fairness” if he becomes president.
