Former Governor of Enugu State, Okwesilieze Nwodo, has stated that there is no justification for governors joining the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Naijaonpoint reports that Nwodo disclosed this during an appearance on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Monday.
According to Nwodo, there is no attraction for Southeast state governors to defect to the APC, and those defecting have not convinced Nigerians of the rationale for their move.
He said: “And many of us in this country are wondering what is the attraction for our governors in particular who are leaving their parties for the APC.
“We don’t see the justification in the organization of the party APC. We don’t see it in the performance of the central government which is run by the APC.
“And people are wondering why we should be drifting to a one-party state, not based on ideology, not based on the performance of that party, but in many cases on unexplained reasons.
“Reasons that have not convinced the Nigerian people or even people in their various states why their governors have moved. But as I said, this is the inalienable right of the governors to move.
“Whether what they tell us are the reasons for their moving or there are other compelling reasons why they moved. So we cannot begin to take them up on those.”
Nwodo added that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) are ready to engage President Bola Tinubu and the APC on issues and their policies.
He added, “We in the African Democratic Congress want to engage the current president of Nigeria and his party on issues, on their policies, on the efficacy of their execution of their policies and promises to the Nigerian people, and put aside by side with the candidates that we are supporting, former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, and the solutions he’s putting on the table for Nigerians to make a choice.
“As you can see, the declaration of important politicians in the southeast for the APC is not restricted to the southeast, It’s all over Nigeria.
