The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has disclosed that President Bola Tinubu has approved a blueprint for the “political emancipation” of the South-East geopolitical zone, beginning with Anambra State.
The National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, made this disclosure when he granted an audience to stakeholders of the party from Anambra State and other stakeholders like Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah and others.
Ganduje said: “President Tinubu has approved the blueprint for political emancipation of the southeast and we are starting with Anambra State. All you need to do is to speak with one voice for it to be louder, deeper and to be heard all over.
“You need a platform for negotiations at the national level. For now, you have been known and you have to be united. The liberation has started and the liberal revolution is starting from Anambra State.”
While praising the decision of Ifeanyi Ubah to join the APC, Ganduje emphasized the party’s readiness to win legislative seats in the zone.
He urged leaders of the party in the zone to be conscious of their statements and only make statements that unite the people.
Governor Uzodinma talked about the importance of the people of the zone joining the APC and said there was an urgent need to integrate them into national politics.
He said: “It is important that APC as a political party becomes the vehicle for the Southeast region to be fully integrated into the national project that is the Nigerian project. So, we are determined in our region to be part of the Nigerian politics. Consistent with that we are going to do our best to make sure that the five states in the South-eastern region are dominated by APC by endearing our party to the people of the South-east region.”
The Anambra State Chairman of the party, Basil Ejidike, said: “We suggest that the Federal Government appoints Liaison Officers in States without APC governors just as was done during the National Party of Nigeria NPN era. This is to coordinate the proper disbursement of aid and grants accruing from the Federal Government to the states.
“We also request that you use your good offices to interface between us and the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, to enable us access materials and palliatives to assist Party members in Anambra, especially during this festive period.”
