South-East APC urges Ndigbo to support Buhari to build progressive nation

From Chidi Nnadi, Enugu

Spokesman of South-East Leadership Caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Osita Okechukwu, has urged Igbo to join President Muhammadu Buhari in building a progressive and prosperous country.
Okechukwu made the call at the weekend in a speech entitled: “30 Years of Structural Adjustment Programme,” as he was honoured by Junior Chamber International (JCI), for his struggle for the advancement of democracy in the country.
The South-East APC spokesman, who came to venue of the award with a retinue of party chieftains, also pleaded for the release of detained Radio Biafra Director, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu.
He, however, pointed out that the narrative of the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was vile and condemnable.
“His negative propaganda shows that he neither does not care about the strides Ndigbo  havemade nationwide nor the lives of Ndigbo in Dutse, Potiskum, Mubi or Akure. My humble self fought in Boys Company in Biafra and knows the danger of Kanu’s negative narrative.
“We must desist from throwing away the baby and the bath water. In this vein, one will advise that when Kanu comes out, he should visit Eze-Igbo in Akure and other Ezes scattered across the country, consult them and assess their living conditions before putting us in harm,” he advised.
