The South East zonal publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Osita Okechukwu, has described the party as the fastest route for the realization of an Igbo presidency.
Okechukwu, who was speaking at a campaign rally held at Eke in Udi local government area of Enugu State weekend, insisted that with the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, it would be practically impossible for Ndigbo to produce the president or vice president in 2015 on the premise that people of the South-East see President Goodluck Jonathan as a brother and cannot deputize him.
“Secondly, for 2019, it will be wishful thinking to wish that PDP will nominate an Igbo; because the rotation-convention is predicated on North versus South.
“Therefore, a careful analysis of the gazette that APC presents is the fastest vehicle for Ndigbo to become president or vice president in 2015 or 2019”, he stated.
He, therefore, advised Ndigbo to vote for APC in local government council elections coming before the 2015 general elections and especially vote for Senator Chris Ngige in the November 16 Anambra governorship elections.
