APC game plan against south-east 2023 presidency has been uncovered by Chinedu Jideofo-Ogbuagu
OpenLife Nigeria reports that a grand plan by the All Progressives Congress, APC, to outsmart the South Easterners from the 2023 Presidential race in Nigeria has been uncovered by Chinedu Jideofo-Ogbuagu, National Coordinator, South-East APC Presidency Project 2023.
In a statement signed by Chinedu Ogbuagu, the activist frowned at a development where membership drive committee was inaugurated by the national leadership of APC and no Igbo man was included.
Ogbuagu’s concerns is coming against the backdrop of the fact that the Ndigbos have embraced APC so much so that the party currently controls two out of the five states.
His statement reads titled “APC’s 10-Man Mobilization Committee Without Even One South-Easterner,” reads:
“We note with utter disbelief that the National Caretaker Committee of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), on 12th January 2021 inaugurated a 10-man national committee for membership registration/revalidation without even one South-Easterner in the Committee.
We would rather believe that this was a careless oversight on the part of the persons who compiled that list. And we expect that the Governor Mala Buni-led National Caretaker Committee will now correct that reckless error.
We will not request that anyone already inaugurated should be removed to accommodate the South-East. Rather, we hereby call for immediate increase of the number of members of the Mobilization Committee to 12 and two South-Easterners also appointed and inaugurated.
Like in the other five geopolitical zones, proper mobilization for membership registration/revalidation must hold in the South-East APC and only South-Easterners will be welcomed to lead the process in that geopolitical zone,” Ogbuagu lamented.
It would be recalled that as year 2020 drew to a close, governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State who got elected as a governor on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, moved the entire political structure to APC.
Insiders aver that Umahi’s intention is to use the APC platform for the 2023 presidential contest.
However, the emerging development, perceived as sideline by Ogbuagu, is seen by analysts as APC game plan against Ndigbo’s 2023 presidency.
