The Anambra state governor, Willie Obiano, on Monday, September 19, said if the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) is given a chance at the 2019 presidential election, a bag of rice will cost only N9000.
Speaking during the inauguration of ‘Governor Willie Obiano Support Group’ in Awka, the Anambra State capital, Governor Willie Obiano, on Monday, September 19, said the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) would field a presidential candidate in the 2019 general election.
The governor who is also the Chairman, Board of Trustees of the party, said if voted into power, an APGA federal government would reduce the cost of a bag of rice to N9,000.
Represented by Chinedu Obidigwe, his Special Adviser on Political Matters, Governor Obiano said APGA would want to prove to Nigerians that the party had the solution to the country’s woes.
“Anambra is a case study for good governance. If APGA will be given the opportunity to rule Nigeria a bag of rice will reduce N9,000.
“What Anambra has done in agriculture, which resulted in the state having its own brand of rice (Anambra rice) would be replicated at a bigger scale should APGA win the presidential election.
“The state has used scarce resources to resuscitate the state’s economy, leading to infrastructural development and timely payment of workers’ salary”, Obiano stated.
