The Deputy President of the
Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has expressed concern over the current
structure of the All Progressives Congress in the South-South.
He said there is an urgent need
for the APC leaders to consider rejigging the party in the region to strengthen
it for future challenges.
According to him, re-organisation
of the party from now will enhance it to clinch some positions in 2023.
He added that it would change the
notion that the region is a stronghold of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Omo-Agege revealed this when
South-South APC members led by the National Vice Chairman, Ntufam Eta paid him
a visit to congratulate him at his residence in Abuja following his election as
the deputy Senate president.
He said: “The party in the
south-south needs to be rejigged. You provided leadership for us, we want you
to continue to provide that leadership but the difference now will be the
support you are lacking, the support the party did not have then, with this
platform given to us, as a party man, we are going to provide the support for
you to have a vibrant party because some of us feel bad when we hear that
south-south is a PDP zone.
“Some of us were in PDP and we
know what we need to do to wipe all those things away from the political space
but people need to understand that if you provide enabling environment for our
party people, they will succeed but if we just render ab-initio that that area
is a PDP stronghold, leave them because they are not many, it will be a
challenge and that is the challenge we have been having but God-willing, we are
going to change that narrative.
“We are going to provide the
support to the party for it to grow and be competitive so that as we head
towards 2023, we will have a chance to prove to our brothers and sisters in the
south-south that we are ready.”
