EKO HOT BLOG reports that a former State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State, Barr. Onyekachi Nwebonyi, on Wednesday stated that Igbos must connect to the politics at the Centre to be able to realize their aspiration of producing the next Nigerian President of Igbo extraction.

Nwebonyi who is the Commissioner for Abakaliki Capital City Development Authority added that “as Igbo, we should see a reason to connect to the party at the centre because as a minority in Nigeria we cannot afford to play opposition politics.”

The Commissioner stated this at Mbeke in Ishieke community of Ebonyi Local Government Area of the State while dolling out empowerment items to indigent youths, widows and other less privileged members of the community.

The Ebonyi Commissioner who further added that Governor David Umahi was suitably qualified to run for the position of the President added that the Governor would bring about infrastructural development of the country if given the opportunity.

Nwebonyi who is also a Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, APC awarded university scholarships to 50 students from Mbeke, Ishieke Community, gave out motorcycles to indigent youths and a Toyota Corolla to the Chairman of APC in Ebonyi LGA of the State.

While presenting cheques and empowerment items to the beneficiaries, Nwebonyi urged them to make judicious use of the items given to them to enhance their economic status.
