APC Will Give Ndigbo Chance To Produce Nigeria’s President – Oyegun, Sylva

The leadership of the All Progressive Congress, APC has said that the party will give the southeast region an opportunity to produce the country’s first president of Igbo extraction since the return to democracy. APC National chairman, Chief John Oyegun and former governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Timipreye Sylva made this known yesterday, during the official commissioning of the Imo State House in Abuja during which the party stalwarts said only the APC has given the south east opportunity to produce the president. Oyegun who applauded Imo State governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha for he termed “his initiatives and achievements in the state”, noting that the APC is determined to rescue Nigeria from imminent collapse caused by the ruling party. During his remarks Okorocha who stated that Nigeria’s past glory which had been lost due to long years of misrule would be restored by the APC, called on Nigerians rally round the party to end reign of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. The governor who lamented that previous governors of the state abandoned the Imo House project for 17 years, subjecting the state to paying huge sums as rental, said it took an APC government to complete the project. Okorocha said his administration became worried that Imo state was the only state without a Government House in the nation’s capital, said the shame of being a tenant in the FCT spurred him to address the accommodation problem faced by the staff of the liaison office. “Before, we were tenants in Abuja, what a shame! But today we are landlords. This project touches me because it tells the story of the rescue Mission in Imo State. This project has remained uncompleted for 17 years successive leadership in Imo did not see the need to complete it,” Okorocha said. The three-story building project located at the busy central business district Asokoro was said to have commenced by the state’s first military administrator, Tanko Zubaru
