Igbo Assembly, a socio-cultural organisation of the Igbo nation, has warned that the Igbo would not support any presidential candidate rabidly opposed to restructuring the nation, saying that it has thrown its weight behind the aspiration of Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, a chieftain of the group and member, Board of Trustees (BOT) of the Peoples Democratic Party gave the clarification at the flag-off of the party’s campaign rally in Imo State held at Ubomiri in the Mbaitoli Council Area.
Relying on the potentials of the PDP presidential flag bearer, the business mogul said that it is only the PDP that is genuinely committed to restructuring the nation as opposed to other political parties who he said were playing to the gallery.
“What the APC is talking about restructuring, it is a deceit and Atiku is the only candidate that can truly implement restructuring and you should support him and our governorship candidate, Emeka Ihedioha, to heave a sigh of relief.
“Please vote for all PDP candidates in the oncoming general election and reject those who promise to build bridges for you where there are no rivers.”
Former Governor Achike Udenwa, along with the state chairman of the party, Charles Ezekwem, and other chieftains of the PDP enjoined the electorate to reject the APC at the polls to end their misery and destitution.
“With Atiku as president and Ihedioha as governor, you will begin to recover what has eluded you over the years, workers and pensioners will be paid, our hospitals will begin to work again. There will be no more china roads in Imo and the time to act has come.”
Dwelling on his agenda to rebuild Imo and my word is my bond; Ihedioha listed good governance, human capital development, job and wealth creation, integrated infrastructure development as among his blue print of action if elected.
