Well produce next Enugu gov, says APC
The All Progressives Congress on Sunday said it has set a target to produce the next governor of Enugu State come 2015.
The target, it said, was set following the conclusion of its ward congresses across the 260 wards in the state last Saturday.
According to Chairman of the Congress Committee, Mr. Uche Onyeagocha, the APC was not only prepared to make an impact in Enugu State in 2015, but had set a target to take over the Government House.
Onyeagocha, a former House of Representatives member, said it was wrong for anybody to assume that the party had no ground in the state.
He told journalists that the party has seasoned politicians who have contested elections at the national, state and local government levels, but lost because security agencies aided PDP to rig the elections.
He said, We have people like Okechukwu Ideke. We have people like General Joseph Okoloagu. We have people like Osita Okechukwu. These are people who have contested several elections but only lost because they were rigged out and we have many more who are still coming in, and have obtained membership cards.
It would be wrong of anybody to run away with the conclusion that APC has no membership in the South-East. We do. The only difference is that we have not taken over power and that is what we intend to do. Our target is not to make an impact. Our target is to park to Lions Building Enugu.
He also stated that APC was aimsto have many of its members in the National Assembly, because all the PDP federal lawmakers from the South-East could hardly be located in any of the two chambers of the National Assembly.
He said, Many of them are lost in the crowd. By the time APC takes its place in the National Assembly, you will see proper representation of Ndigbo at the National level.
Onyeagocha described last Saturdays APC ward congresses in Enugu State as very successful. He said, Although they were contentious in some areas where there were contests, efforts were being made to harmonise.
