Candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in the 2017 governorship poll in Anambra State, Tony Nwoye, has
called on President Muhammadu Buhari to consider using the appointment of a
Secretary to the Government of the Federation from South East geopolitical zone
to sell the party to the people of the region.
Nwoye, who is currently
representing Anambra East and West in the House of Representatives, stated
while speaking with journalists during the launch of his 2019 Free Medical
Outreach at Nsugbe in Anambra East where no fewer than 700 indigent people of
the area benefited.
While stating that the President
was at liberty to make any appointment as he so desired, Nwoye advised that
such appointees from the South East should be people who had the capacity to
market the APC in the geopolitical zone.
He said, “We deserve the post of
Secretary of Government of the Federation or the deputy senate president,”
adding that the bane of APC in Anambra State and South East in general was lack
of altruistic leaders.
He said that was why the party
performed abysmally in several elections in the area.
He said, “the South East deserves
the position of SFG or the deputy senate president.
“Igbo are critical stakeholders
in the Nigeria project. And knowing Mr. President he will not fail to give this
to us. He is a man with a large heart.
“He would not say because our
people did not vote for him, that he will not give us what is due to us. If we
get SSG, it will help to market APC in this part of the country
He added, “Our party is not
moving forward in Anambra because we, the leaders are selfish and self-centred.
Good leadership begets good followership.
“How can someone call himself a
political leader and in an election he cannot deliver his polling booth to his
party?
“In all the elections in 2019,
APC came last.This calls for sober reflection. How can we not be proud that we
are APC members?
“What is the essence of
belongings to a political party when you cannot win election in that party? I
want to help rebuild APC because I want to run for election in the party.”
