Chairman of the Governing Council of University of Calabar, Senator Nkechi Nwogu, has said that only enemies of Nigeria would accuse the All Progressives Congress for the current insecurity in the country.
She stated this when she spoke at her Umuocheala Mbutuoma, Osisioma Ngwa country home in Abia State, during the revalidation of her membership of the All Progressives Congress.
Nwogu, who condemned the growing insecurity in the country, said it should not be seen as an APC affair.
She called on all, irrespective of political leaning to support President Muhammadu Buhari in the fight against banditry across the nation, since according to her, insecurity does not know who belonged to which political party.
“When the bandits strike, they do not do that based on the political party one belongs and that is why all should join hands in fighting it” she said
Meanwhile, she said that it was about time the Igbo people should be treated like the people of other parts of the country by allowing them to have to shot at the apex governance of the country.
“Igbo have since 1999 assisted the South West, North West and the South-South to produce the president of the country at one point or the other and stressed that there was no reason the other zones would have not to support the South East come 2023,” She said.
“It is about time the Igbo are treated like any other part of the country in terms of having a shot at the apex governance of the country.
“The Igbo have assisted the South West in 1999, North West in 2007 and the South-South in 2009 to produce the president of the country and I don’t think there is any reason the other zones would have not to support the South East come 2023 to produce the president”.
Also speaking, the chairman of Abia State APC re-registration and revalidation exercise, Ambassador Bala Mohammed Mariga and the state chairman of APC, Chief Donatus Nwamkpa, urged the people of the state to join APC en masse so as to vote out the PDP government in the state come 2023.
