The South East caucus of the All Progressive Congress (APC) led by the Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has accused the Federal Government and the PDP leadership of being insensitive to the plight of the masses as the Abia State flank of the Port- Harcourt – Aba Road remains a death trap to motorists.
APC members bared their minds when the South East leadership of the party stormed Aba, the commercial city of Abia State for a campaign rally on Friday, November 8, 2014.
Addressing the mammoth crowth at the Aba Recreation Club, Governor Okorocha observed that the poor state of roads and lack of Federal Government presence in the South East in terms of social infrastructure and political appointments is a clear indication of marginalization of Ndigbo by the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) and urged the igbos vote out PDP in 2015.
He said that PDP has failed Nigerians since the 15 years of its dishonest leadership in the country and called on the people to support the All Progressive Congress (APC) which he described as “a brand new party for a new and prosperous Nigeria”.
Owelle Okorocha vouched that APC will guarantee peace and stability in the nation, free and qualitative education, massive infrastructural development as well as give Ndigbo a fair share of federal appointments and projects. Also speaking, Senator Chris Ngige regretted that the Federal Government has neglected most of the roads in the South East as well as failed to give Igbos their rightful position in stake of the nation, and called for the support of an Igbo presidency. “Nigeria will be better when they recognize the fact that the sun rises from East, and return the presidency to the Igbos” he noted.
Senator Ngige further pointed out that the remarkable successes recorded in Imo, Lagos, Rivers State and other APC states is an indication that the party will do well at the centre if given the mandate in 2015.
The former South East zonal chairman of APC and a Governorship aspirant in Abia State, Chief Nyere Anyim said Abia will sing a new song of progress when APC is voted into power in 2015.
Others who spoke at the occasion include, the Speaker Imo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon Benjamin Uwajimogu, a party leader in Anambra State, Chief George Muoghalu, a member of the APC Board of Trustees, Chief Mrs V.N Chukwuani, all affirmed that the party has a vision to transform Nigeria into a leading economy of the world.
