Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha has stated that there are clear indications that the people of the Southeast have decided to dump the People Democratic Party (PDP) for the rival All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2015 forthcoming general elections owing to the criminal neglect of the zone by the ruling party.
Governor Okorocha stated this when a delegation of Igbo Rescue Mission from Abia State paid him a solidarity visit at the Government House, Owerri.
Okorocha described APC as a child of circumstance arising from the abysmal failure of the PDP to deliver quality and good governance to Nigerians in the last 14 years, adding that the new party, which represents a coalition of major opposition parties in Nigeria is presently being positioned to provide the credible and acceptable platform that will enthrone the leadership Nigerians desire in the 2015 general elections.
He lamented that the level of marginalisation meted out to Ndigbo by ruling PDP, pointing out that the party has continuously denied Ndigbo the five principal positions, which he listed as the office of the president, vice president, senate president, speaker House of Representative and the chairman of the ruling party.
He, however, enjoined Ndigbo to play politics that can guarantee them national relevance as APC now remains the only party that has future for Ndigbo and Nigerians going by its ideology.
