National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), John Odigie-Oyegun, has called for unity among
members ahead of the November 18 governorship election in Anambra.
He stated this on Thursday in
Abuja at a reconciliation meeting with the party´s former aspirants for the
governorship position.
Former aspirants present at the
meeting were George Moghalu, Madu Nonso, Bart Nwibe, Patrick Nwike, Chike
Obidigbo, Johnbosco Onunkwo, and Uzoh Obinna.
Andy Uba, Paul Chukwuma and
Adaobi Uchegbu were absent.
Oyegun urged the former aspirants
to support Tony Nwoye, the party’s candidate and the leadership to ensure
victory at the election.
“There is an incumbent governor
in Anambra; we have all been through most exciting period of campaigning for
the primaries, which is over now.
“And, by divine mercy, we have a
candidate, but a tree does not make a forest.
“We are in politics and we
recognise that each and every one of those who aspired for the office of the
governor of Anambra, has a constituency.
“It is important that we do
everything we can, fair and square, to bring Anambra into the fold of the
progressives for a lot of reasons.
“Until we manage to bring few
states into the mainstream of progressives’ politics, we may not see the end of
this continued cry of marginalisation.
“It is important that we work and
work very hard to win Anambra, being a critical state in the South-East,”
Odigie-Oyegun said.
