The Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council (OYC) has called on governors from the South-East geopolitical zone to join the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) in the interest of the people.
The call was contained in a press statement signed by OYC President, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro and Secretary-General, Okwu Nnabuike and made available to newsmen on Monday.
According to the OYC statement, “Historically, Igbos had never remained in the opposition party since 1960. Igbos deserves better deals, and only through active roles in the mainstream political party will there be an increase in dividends of democracy and projects in the Southeast zone. The continuous exclusion of the South-East zone from the federal government’s crucial political appointments and landmark projects are attributed to Igbo’s absence in mainstream governance. Igbo youths want these unpleasant situations to end, and OYC urges South-East governors to embrace APC and decamp without further delay.”
Ohanaeze youths further urged the South-East governors to collapse three states into the All Progressives Congress (APC) before the party’s National convention in order to control their state structures and save the political future of the Igbo nation.
