The Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, said on Saturday the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) primaries would no longer permit monetary inducement or transactional politics.
He spoke at the party’s South-East zonal stakeholders’ meeting in Awka.
Soludo linked the party’s slow growth since 2002 to a culture of exploitation by party officials.
He said the practice weakened internal democracy, discouraged credible participation and undermined institutional development.
“The era of marketing party tickets is over. Parties must be driven by values, policies and accountability, not commerce,” the governor stated.
Soludo lamented a system where party funds were allegedly shared immediately, leaving no structure for sustainable financing.
“The party has not grown because past leaderships treated it as a business venture. That must stop,” he added.
He urged stakeholders to reassess direction and rebuild APGA as a transparent, accountable and ideologically driven platform.
“Our tickets are not for sale. We are rebuilding the party into what it should be, not a trading post,” he said.
