According to Soludo, APGA is the first political party registered with the name “progressives” and has become the home of progressives.
He paid glowing tributes to his predecessors, the late Biafra leader Chukwuemeka Ojukwu and former governor Willie Obiano.
Soludo pledged to work actively with all APGA faithful and to extend invitation to all true progressives to take the party as their home to enable it to grow for true progressive leadership in Nigeria at the right time.
