ELECTION: IGBO YOUTHS REVEAL PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
The World Igbo Youth Council, WIC, has commended South-east
zone of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for endorsing President Muhammadu
Buhari for 2019 general elections.
The group assured that it would mobilise for the actualisation
of the project.
National Vice Chairman, Chief Emmanuel Enukwu, had announced decision of the
zone.
Enukwu made the declaration at the Umuahia Township Stadium during a mega
rallyorganized for defectors from other parties.
“We believe we can actualize Igbo presidency in APC in 2023;
we are solidly behind Mr. President”, he stated.
Reacting, WIC Deputy President General, Dr. Francis Ugwu, in
a statement said the group will also campaign for APC to win governorship
elections in South-east states.
“Ndigbo have never been in the opposition party since the time of our late
leaders Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe, Michael Okpara and Akanu ibiam.
“We will never allow Ohanaeze Ndigbo to repeat the same
mistake of not supporting President Buhari.
“World Igbo Youth Council has taken it as a responsibility
to rescue Ndigbo from making another costly mistake in 2019 by supporting
people who will use restructuring to deceive Ndigbo”, he said.
