The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, John Oyegun has said the solution to continued cry of marginalisation by Igbos is for the party to win in more South-East states.
Oyegun dropped the hint, in Abuja, in his introductory remarks during a reconciliation meeting between the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) and aspirants in the August 26, 2017 governorship primary for the Anambra State governorship election.
Although one of the aggrieved aspirants, Senator Andy Uba was absent at the parley, the party chairman maintained that dialogue has become expedient if the party must win the governorship of an important state like Anambra.
The national chairman urged the aspirants to eschew bitterness and work for the common goal of winning the state.
The party boss said he deliberately invited chieftains of the party from the zone, such as former Senate President, Ken Nnamani, former governor of old Anambra State, Senator Jim Nwobodo, his Abia and Anambra states counterparts, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and Dr. Chris Ngige, respectively, to help in the mediation.

“I specifically invited our party chieftains from the South East. I wanted them to come and support this reconciliation effort, but, while some are here, others took permission, due to some pressing issues. The good thing is that we have an elder statesmen here.
“I thank you all for answering our call. We have an incumbent governor in Anambra state. We have all been through a most exciting period of campaigning for the primary, which is over now and we have, by divine mercy, a candidate, but a tree does not make a forest.
“We are in politics and we recognise that each and every one of those who aspired for the office of the governor of Anambra state has a constituency. Each and everyone has something significant to contribute, if we are to have hope of winning the governor’s seat in Anambra, from an incumbent.

“It is very important, essential and vital that we manage to hammer together, not just a patch work of peace or make-believe kind of camaraderie, but, a very serious unity of purpose between all those who aspired for that office to act as a serious guarantee that we are indeed also serious in winning the Anambra governorship seat.
