Enugu State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has said that it will use next Wednesday’s campaign rally of the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu as a launchpad to the Enugu State’s seat of power.
The Chairman of the party in the state, Barr. Ugochukwu Agballah, made the remark during the inauguration of 11 different committees to organize the presidential rally of the party slated for January 11 at Dr. Michael Okpara Square in Enugu.
Agballah said that the APC Enugu State wants to use the presidential rally as a launch pad to the Lion Building, Enugu’s seat of power.
He tasked the committees to organize a befitting and hitch-free presidential rally, to demonstrate to the people of Enugu state and Southeast in general that APC was ready to sweep the state and region.
Agballah said that the people of the state were ready to receive the presidential and vice presidential candidates of the party, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu/Kashim Shettima, and to convince the people that Tinubu is a development-oriented personality with the capacity, experience and national contact to tackle the challenges facing the nation at this point in time.
“We are prepared to dislodge the cabals ruling Enugu state for the last 24 years.
“As you are aware, the APC we have today is not the APC of yesterday. Today we have an APC that is determined to take over the governance of Enugu state because for 24 years we have had a cabal that has only given us misgovernance and has elevated corruption to the highest of all heights.
“In Enugu state, the cabal ruling Enugu state, Ebeano cabal, is synonymous with corruption, they have litany of cases in EFCC that have not been resolved and defendants in such cases are being presented as candidates for the coming sections.
“Therefore we stand as a party and as a people of the state to reject an imposition of non performing hegemony on our people.
“So we are kicking off the campaign with the presidential campaign on January 11; we’ll kick off the presidential campaign that will be the mother of all rallies. We intend to use that opportunity to demonstrate the fact that our party has grown exponentially.
“Today, we have had more than 10 fold increase in membership. We’re going to bring out our members to tell the world that APC is ready to take over the governance of Enugu state,” he said.
