A member of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC PCC), Prince Nixon Okwara, has called on the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to zone the president of the 10th Senate to the Southeast.
Speaking in an interview with newsmen, Okwara who is also the Facilitator/Director General of Grow Orlu Project said if that was not done, those who had been killed in the Southeast for campaigning for Bola Ahmed Tinubu in particular and APC in general died in vain.
Recall that recently Captain Tony Enoch (rtd), the Grow Orlu Project coordinator of all the 12 coordinators that make up the Orlu zone was assassinated on his way from an APC stakeholders meeting in Oru East Local Government Area of Imo State.
Citing the sad incident of the slain captain who was also a member of APC PCC and doubled as the chairman of Asiwaju Campaign Organization in Oru East, where the president–elect got massive votes, he noted that many other APC faithful in the Southeast had died over the same course.
He said the Southeast had paid the supreme sacrifice for APC and that the best way for the Tinubu administration to start should be by inclusion, rather than exclusion.
He maintained that those opposed to the zoning of the Senate President to the Southeast because the people did not vote for APC in the just concluded general elections, were enemies of the country.
“Those of us who campaigned and worked for Asiwaju in the southeast are now endangered species. A lot have been killed. Many have fled the state and even the country for fear of their lives. So, I am appealing that the leadership of APC to zone the president of the 10th to the Southeast. If this is not done, it implies that these people that have been killed for campaigning for Asiwaju and APC died in vain and it will not encourage others to step into their shoes,” he said.
