National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, has said the cry of marginalisation by the South-East is self-inflicted.
He, however, vowed that the party aims to gain control of
the states in the zone.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Ganduje made the
remark on Thursday while receiving the leadership of the Kano State
Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, led by its
Chairman, Aminu Garko.
He insisted that the perceived marginalization of the Igbo
people might stem from the fact that the five states in the South-East are
under the governance of different political parties instead of being united
under a single party.
The former Kano State Governor said he is committed to
securing a majority of the South-East states.
“The South-East geopolitical zone is saying the same thing.
But what we are telling them is that the marginalization has been created by
them.
“How can you have five states ruled by four political
parties? What will be your political bargain?
“Next year, there will be Anambra, which has been a state
governed by APGA for many years, but we have introduced a new scheme.
“We want to start with Anambra. Already, we have Ebonyi and
Imo. Now, we are encroaching into that zone to ensure that we capture most of
the states. And if we get what we want, we capture all the states,” he said.

Ganduje, you can be chairman today but certainly not tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI think our so called leaders have poverty of mind. If non- support for a ruling party is the reason for marginalization then our democracy is really at nascent level.
