Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, has accused people of the Southeast of playing ethnic politics.
Igbokwe said Igbo people would continue to remain onlookers
in Nigeria’s political sphere.
He made the remark while reacting to the ongoing
governorship election in Anambra State.
The APC chieftain urged the people of the Southeast to stop
playing politics of isolation.
In a post on his Facebook page, the aide to Governor
Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State said the southeast should be working towards
connecting with the Federal Government politically.
He wrote: “I had thought that Igbo will move beyond ethnic
politics and work to connect to the center to meet other Nigerians, but ife ji
Ndigbo jisi ha ike. We will continue to be onlookers.
“Politics is a game of numbers, Igbo cannot continue to play
politics of isolation in the 21st century and expect that miracle will happen.
It is time to build bridges and not burn bridges.”
The All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, is currently
leading in the ongoing governorship election in Anambra State.
APGA is widely believed to be a regional party with a base
in the Southeast.
