Igbo Politicians Should Join APC Ahead Of 2023 – Kingsley Uju-Chima

A member of the House of Representatives, Rep. Kingsley Uju-Chima (APC-Imo) has come out to beg politicians of southeast extraction to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to boost their reckoning in zoning the 2023 presidency to the region.

Uju-Chima, who recently revealed this in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, said that joining APC actually guarantees a spot for the Igbo people in national power-sharing.

According to him, playing national politics is the way to go for the South East region to clinch the seat of the president in 2023.

He added that he is pleased with how Igbo people are starting to re
alise that being strong players in our political scene matters a lot in terms of power-sharing and amenities.

His words, “I was elected on the platform of the Action Alliance (AA) but I defected to the ruling party because I realised that it is the best way to go in achieving all that I desire for my people from the centre.

“We have Senators from the South East extraction in APC and about six House of Representatives members.

“I am happy that the Igbo people are beginning to realise that being strong players at the centre matters a lot in terms of power-sharing and amenities.

“The best way forward for southeast presidency in 2023 is through the ruling party, APC, hence my appeal.”

“My constituency is one of the largest crude oil-producing communities in Nigeria and there is currently a refinery project by Waltersmith that is ongoing in the area.

“The youth of these communities are not happy and feel marginalised.

“The Federal Government should speed up efforts to provide amenities to these communities and ensure jobs for its teeming youth.”
