APC Adopts Ogbonnaya Onu As Southeast Leader Of The Party

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has adopted the Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, as APC’s Southeast leader.

He said that APC would put more effort to win in at least three of five Southeast states in the 2023 general elections.

The party’s Southeast zonal caucus met at the Uburu country home of Science and Technology Minister.

Onu said that the party would strategically reposition in the Southeast ahead of 2023 to produce no fewer than three governors.

His words: “We are the only zone without a governor elected on the platform of the APC. Is that right? Is that correct? Is it what we want? So, we want a change.

“We have our best people representing us and the national working committee of our great party will be giving us good leadership.

“We believe strongly that by 2023, we should be aiming at a minimum of three governors elected on the platform of APC in the Southeast.

“We will have the majority of the seats in the National Assembly coming from the Southeast.

“We will also have the majority of the seats in the Houses of Assembly in our various states so that we will produce a minimum of three speakers.”

Dr Onu said that support for President Muhammadu Buhari increased during last year’s general election, compared to 2015.

“The total vote from the Southeast may be the smallest, but if you look at the percentage increase between the two elections, the greatest among the six geopolitical zones came from the Southeast.

“This signal is reassuring and is telling all those who can look deep into matters that there is the potential for the Southeast to turn around and be the base of APC in the future,”he said.
