On the issue of corruption and insecurity which is currently plaguing the country, he said that the triple banner of rule of law, separation of power and due process must be employed for good governance to be realised.

Prof. Umeadi who described himself as the face of APGA in Nigeria recalled how the political party started political journey in Nigeria, adding that APGA is the identity through which the south east would use to actualize its desire for Nigerian presidency.

In his remark, the National President of APPAS, Chief Omeife-Omeife, said that they were happy to welcome Prof. Umeadi in their midst and also recounted the efforts of the association in convincing him to run for the office of Nigerian president.
