Speaking on Thursday in Abuja while inaugurating a 48-member
Anambra governorship campaign committee ahead of the November 18
governorship election in the state, APC chairman, John Oyegun, said the
party remains the best option for the south-east to actualise its
presidential aspiration.
The national chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), mandated
the committee to work and bring the south-east into the mainstream of
Nigeria’s politics and into “the progressive family”.
Oyegun who also charged the committee led by Mohammed Abubakar,
governor of Bauchi state, to mobilise the entire citizens of Anambra for
victory, said the state was “very important” to the APC and that a
victory for the party in Anambra would help address the cries of
marginalisation in the region.
He said; “We must change the narrative in the south-east and we
must start with Anambra, because the APC represents the most viable
root for any south-east person to the presidency of this country.”
While admitting that the Anambra election would not be “a bed of
roses” since the incumbent governor is seeking re-election, Oyegun
expressed optimism that the party would emerge victorious in the
election.
According to him, “if the APC can defeat an incumbent
president, we can also defeat an incumbent governor; we have done it
before in Kogi and Ondo states.”
