Join APC, Get 2023 Presidency, Ngige Tells Igbo by ExAngel007(f): 7:41am On Jan 06, 2020 |
The Minister of Labour and Employment , Dr
Chris Ngige , has enjoined the Igbo to show
mass presence in the All Progressives
Congress . He said the APC was the easiest political platform the South -East geopolitical zone could use to ascend to the presidency of the country . This was coming a day after a close ally of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari ( retd . ) , Mallam Ismaila Funtua , said any Igbo who wanted to be President should join the ruling APC. Funtua , who featured on Arise Television ’ s The Morning Show on Saturday , had said , “They ( Igbo ) should belong. They should join the party . They want to do things on their own and because they are Igbos , we should dash them the president ? That was the reason I asked : is it ‘ Turn By Turn Nigeria Limited ’?” “If the Igbo want to be President, then they must belong. If you don ’ t belong, then you can ’ t be the President . That is the issue and we have seen it with MKO Abiola of blessed memory. He went out of his way , he cultivated people .” Voicing the same opinion , Ngige , while speaking with APC members on Sunday in Alor, Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State , said Buhari had shown enough goodwill to the South -East that the area should support him by showing heavy presence in the APC. The minister had on the occasion shared 3, 700 bags of rice , grinding machines , generators, sewing machines to party members at various levels in the state . Cash and food were also shared on the occasion . Ngige vowed that the APC would take over Anambra State in the 2021 governorship poll as a pilot demonstration of overwhelming acceptance of the party in the zone . He said , “ The roads which my administration constructed in 2004 are what people are still using today . The All Progressives Grand Alliance has failed us. 2021 is my last fight. https://punchng.com/join-apc-get-2023-presidency-ngige-tells-igbo/ |

Last fight again? Is Ngige not tired of running for governor? It should have dawned on him that his people no longer want him. 1 Like |

mrvitalis:Nobody is saying south East should not contest under APC(Okorocha contested against mBuhari In 2015). If you guys think you are politically structured enough to get it in APC then get it. If Yoruba is politically structured enough in PDP we can get it also. The politics of 1999 and 2007 is different from 2023. Work for it. No free gift on a platter of blackmail. Nobody owes you south east anything. Stand up and fight for your right . Na all of us get the right!! |

David umahi has declared for apc. 2023 is going to be very interesting. |

CSTR2:He didn't declare for APC. He is fully in PDP and will contest the presidency in 2023. If Peter Obi and his propaganda team think they can blackmail David Umahi to leave PDP for them, they are greatly mistaken. |

In 1999, Obasanjo was the only name from South west in PDP others were AD. Ngige you are fit for presidency. |

mrvitalis: You southeast should Fight for presidency how the Southwest chose to fight theirs is none of Your business. When Tinubu chose to contest under APC come 2023, any candidate whether from north west or north east or Northcentral or southeast or south south is free to duel and test how politically powerful they are |

This is the absolute truth devoid of sentiments. Igbos are highly emotional, sentimental and practical people. Hence,since they already marked Buhari bad,it would take divine intervention for them to key into Buhari and APC's followership. But again, that is not how politics should be played in a country as divergent as Nigeria. Nigeria is about grabbing what you can as long as it lasts,and Igbos should learn how to follow that. If Buhari initially chose Igbos twice or thrice as his running mates for presidential elections in the past,then what is it that Buhari or APC had done that cannot be overlooked for the sake of political gain? Take a look at what the government is currently doing in the southeast: The second Niger bridge, the Enugu-Onitsha road,the renovation of the international airport in Enugu etc. Igbos can get more by playing their politics the right way. 1 Like |
