Governor Uzodinma played host APC key stakeholders from the South-East
The Governor of Imo State, His Excellencey Senator Hope Uzodinma played host to Key leaders and stakeholders of the All Progressive Congress (APC) from the South East in Owerri, the state capital of Imo state yesterday.
The SouthEast region is now more united than ever to work in the interest of the region and with the Federal Government.
Senator Uzodinma made this statement via his official Twitter handle. He said that as APC South East leaders, we affirmed that the claim of marginalization of Ndigbo is mere speculation and the figment of imagination of those who are not well informed.
The delegation was led by former President of the Senate, Chief Ken Nnamani and included Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, Minister of Labour and Productivity, Dr. Chris Ngige, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama, Minister of State, Mines and Steel Development, Dr. Uche Ogah, Minister of State, Education, Dr. Emeka Nwajiuba, and Sir Frank Ibezim.
Other important persons who were in attendance at the meeting include the Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prof. Placid Njoku, the Chairman of APC Imo State, Chief Marcellenus Nlemigbo and APC apex leader in the South East, Chief Tony Chukwu.
Members who were not at the meeting were excused. As brothers, we discussed politics & development pertinent to our region & people. We affirmed that the APC Government in Imo State is the gate-way to integrate Ndigbo into the National political & socio-economic grid as well as the policy frame work of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The APC Igbo leaders in the South East are properly equipped to direct and guide the Igbos to ensure that whatsoever is due us from the Federal Republic of Nigeria, we will get them.
The leaders from the South East are on a wider consultation to ensure that the South East embraces and integrates into what is coming from the Federal Government through proper alignment with its policies and programmes for the greater benefit of the people.
On the chances of the Igbo occupying the office of the Nigerian President in 2023, I emphasized that what should bother the Igbo is Nigerian President of Igbo extraction and not Igbo President of Nigeria.
South East is part of Nigeria, South East leaders exhibit all qualities and capabilities for good governance and as such believe that APC as the ruling party in Nigeria will make the right decision at the appropriate time.
These and more were part of our deliberations.
I thank them for the visit and honour done to Ndị Imo.
