National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Umeh, yesterday, said that if Nigerians were indeed interested in the unity and well being of the country, President Goodluck Jonathan should be re-elected.
Umeh,
who is the APGA Senatorial candidate for Anambra Central Senatorial District,
said Nigeria needed the implementation of the resolutions of the National
Conference to move forward hence, the need to elect the man who had promised to
implement it.
He
spoke with newsmen at Agulu-uzoigbo in Anaocha Local Government Area shortly
before a tactical meeting of his campaign team, which was attended by National
and State assemblies candidates as well as chairmen of the seven local
government areas in the district.
Umeh
stated that the implementation of the National Conference resolutions would
reposition the Igbo structurally in Nigeria and urged Ndigbo to support the
re-election of President Jonathan to facilitate the actualisation of the
resolutions.
Noting
that the All Progressives Congress (APC) dissociated itself and stayed away
from the National Conference, where the future and unity of the nation was
openly discussed, Umeh said a Federal Government under the leadership of APC
would throw the resolution to the trash bin.
He
said: “It is clear that since the APC opposed the conference, it would be
foolhardy of anyone to think the party would talk about confab recommendations
if elected.”
The
APGA boss commended President Jonathan for taking up the challenge of
organising the conference, which many leaders before him dared not discuss and
pleaded with Nigerians to massively vote to re-elect Jonathan to enable him
implement the recommendations of the conference for a new Nigeria where
justice, fairness and equal rights prevail.
