Emeribe emphasized the importance of conducting politics without bitterness, thanking his supporters for their loyalty and hard work during the campaign. He urged them to rally behind Azubuike, stating that the incumbent would bring more democracy dividends to the people of Orumba South if given full support.
The APGA primary election was conducted peacefully, with Azubuike emerging as the winner. Emeribe’s concession speech has been welcomed by many, who see it as a sign of maturity and a commitment to the party’s unity.
Emeribe also advised politicians to shun the idea of politics of “do or die,” stating that such an approach could lead to harm and even death, which would defeat the objectives of politics and democracy.
He emphasized that politics should be about serving the people and promoting democracy, rather than personal interests. Emeribe’s stance has been praised by many, who see it as a call for more responsible and peaceful politics.
The APGA is one of the road to becoming the ruling party in Anambra State, and Azubike’s victory is seen as a significant boost to the party’s chances in the upcoming local government elections.
