APC To PDP: We Will Take Over South East In 2019

The All Progressive Congress, APC in the South East has told the Peoples Democratic Party, PDPD that it will take over the South East region from the opposition party in 2019.

The PDP controls the South East with three State Governors and majority of members of the National Assembly.

This declaration was made by the State Chairmen of APC in the South East after their meeting on Saturday in Abakaliki,  Ebonyi State.

The Imo State Chairman of the APC, Sir Hilary Eke said the party chairmen remain optimistic of achieving this feat based on its recent tour to the South East states which is aimed at strengthening the party structure ahead of future elections in the region.

He said the party chairmen will work closely to ensure that the PDP does not have control of the south east anymore.

 He said“We are going round the South East states to ensure that the APC is intact.

“And I want to assure you in case many of you do not know that in 2019, APC will take over all the States in this zone”

“PDP is still in Ebonyi State not because the people voted for them but because they have the opportunity to rig”

Eke advised the state chapter of the APC to engage in meetings regularly in order to bring members together.

On his part, the Abia State Chairman of the APC, Donatus Nwamba said the party must strategize to win the election in the South East in 2019.

He said “We don’t want one party system and our president has said it severally and we will not be part of it, but we will win South East in 2019.

“Because when PDP was in power, we were regarded as visitors, we were regarded as renegades. But now we are in charge. So, come May 29, 2019, we must win the South East” he said

The Enugu State Chairman of the APC, Ben Nwonye, urged members to be focused and consistent, while his Ebonyi State counterpart, Ben Nwobasi, expressed gratitude to his colleagues for attending the meeting.  He said the meeting has strengthened the party in the State.

In his remarks, the National Co-coordinator, Buhari/Osibanjo For Change Iniative, Chinedu Ogah described the APC as an organized party with good programmes and innovations that would enhance the well being of the masses.
