The All
Progressives Congress (APC), yesterday, said that it had mapped out key
strategies which would enable it to sweep out the opposition political
parties, especially the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) out of the
South-east and South-south regions in 2019.
It stated that Nigerians had seen the
party’s determination to lighten the yoke imposed on them by the PDP in
the last 16 years of its rule with ‘unprecedented’ achievements of
President Muhammadu Buhari in less than four years of his
administration.
This is even as it expressed confidence
at the possibility of the South-east region taking over power from
President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023 provided that the Igbo would give the
president the much-needed support in the next year’s election.
The National President of APC Youth
League, Comrade Atir Solomon Faeren, made this declaration during the
5th-anniversary celebration organized by its Ebonyi State chapter at
Nkwegu Ugbala Grand Arena in Abakaliki, the state capital.
Faeren said every modality had been put
in place by the national leadership of the party led by Chief John
Odigie-Oyegun to ensure that the people of the South-east region occupy
their rightful place already reserved for them by his party.
Delivering a keynote lecture on the
topic: The Role of Nigerian Youths in Nation Building, an APC chieftain,
Comrade Christian Chukwu, vowed that the party would not leave any
stone unturned to ensure it ‘disarms’ the PDP cold grip on the regions.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Science and
Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu; former Governor of the State, Chief
Martin Elechi; Ambassador Jonah O. Mkpuruka were among dignitaries who
bagged the awards of excellence.
