Anthony was reacting to the failure of the major political parties in the country to zone their presidential tickets to the South East, saying that the region still has an opportunity of uniting under one party to elect members of parliament from the zone.
He was speaking at a media briefing with journalists in Abuja, yesterday, saying the South East still has a window of presenting itself as a formidable force in the National Assembly by adopting its traditional party, APGA to speak for the region in parliament. He said by coming together, the people of the region will have a stronger negotiating power in Abuja and can push for more dividends of democracy for the region other than going there on different platforms.
“The decision of the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party to look other ways other than zoning the presidency to the South East is painful especially considering the fact that the South East has been the cornerstone of the PDP since 1999. “There is no need dissipating energies on the actions of the APC and PDP as regards the South East, rather our people should look out for the National Assembly and come in as a bloc through the platform of our traditional party APGA to make our voice loud and clear in the 10th National Assembly.”
