Sources told Trumpeta that despite Anumudu being a big catch for the party, his presence is causing ripples because he is seen as a potential Governorship material whose arrival may change the political equation of Imo APGA Aspirants in 2019.
Trumpeta learnt that Imo politicians mostly of Owerri extraction are seeing APGA as the easiest route to enter Douglas House in 2019.
It was learnt that already before Anumudu arrived, Imo APGA had welcomed Guber hopefuls like Senator Bright Nwanne, Chief Frank Nneji, Chief Okey Eze, Chief Alex Obi, Bar Charles Onyeagbako, Hon Uche Onyeagocha and others.
