The National Chairman of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, Chief Victor Oye has stated that the only hope for the empowerment of Ndigbo in Nigeria lies with the party.
He urged Ndigbo to embrace the party, in the light of his statement, reminding them that they have been relegated to the bottom feeder in the nation’s politics.
While addressing party faithfuls in Aba, Oye called on the people to speak as one in unity as well as take decisions that would positively impact on the political standing of the South East.
He also said that the the best option for Ndigbo to produce a Nigerian president that they so desire is with the party.
He said: “Ndigbo should know that charity begins at home. If all Igbo people are APGA, how will anybody steal our votes? We don’t vote in one direction, that why there is confusion. If all of us vote APGA, it will be difficult for anybody to rig elections in the South East. APGA is the party for Ndigbo.”
“Unless we start from home and win the five South East states for APGA, we won’t make any progress. Every Igbo man should know that Ndigbo are nowhere in Nigeria’s political equation.”
“Ndigbo should have produced the Senate President, but we failed to put our acts together and the position went to the minority. Ndigbo should shine their eyes. Unless Ndigbo wins the five South East state for APGA, it would be difficult for an Igbo to emerge Nigerian President. 2019 is another election year. We must get things right.”
Oye further stated that as the party continued to grow stronger all across the country there was assurance that come 2019, the party would be in control of the South East.
“We came to office in June 2015 and since then; APGA has spread to every nook and cranny of the country. In Bayelsa state, we have two State House of Assembly seats. In Taraba, we have one Assembly seat and one House of Representatives seat.”
“In Anambra, we have 28 out of 30 seats. In Abia state, it should have been 24 out of 24, but they stole it and left 11 for APGA. In Niger state, we have seven elected councilors. In 2019, all the states in the South East will be controlled by APGA.”
