The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Abdulahi Ganduje, has said the party plans to initiate moves for the de-marginalisation of Igbos in a bid to place them in the limelight of national politics.
Ganduje spoke during the APC South East zonal meeting in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.
He added that the Igbos had shown massive support to the party and the President Bola Tinubu-led administration currently.
Ganduje said, “The present appointments offered the Southeast zone by President Bola Tinubu’s administration is heartwarming and with more involvement in the party’s affairs, more would be achieved.
“We must break this cycle of marginalisation with determination, unity and total support to the party and President Bola Tinubu-led administration," he said.
He noted that Ebonyi had followed Imo’s trail in massively promoting the party’s activities and thanked Gov. Francis Nwifuru for sustaining the party’s ideals in the state.
Gov. Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi thanked the party’s leaders for honouring the meeting in the state, noting that the party is currently rooted in the state and Southeast.
“The massive defection of opposition stalwarts to the APC on July 13 attests to the fact that persuasion works more than bickering and fighting,” he said.
