2019: APC ‘Most Viable Root’ For Igbo Presidency – Oyegun

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Oyegun, has described the party as the “most viable root” for any Igbo person that seeks to be Nigeria’s president in 2019.

Oyegun said this at the inauguration of a 48-member Anambra governorship campaign committee on Thursday.

Speaking ahead of the November 18 gubernatorial election in the state, the APC Chairman also said it was “very important” for members of the committee to deliver the state’s governorship seat to the APC if issues of Igbo marginalisation in the South East must be addressed.

“We must change the narrative in the south-east and we must start with Anambra, because the APC represents the most viable root for any south-east person to the presidency of this country,” Oyegun told the committee led by Mohammed Abubakar, governor of Bauchi state.

“If the APC can defeat an incumbent president, we can also defeat an incumbent governor; we have done it before in Kogi and Ondo states,” said the APC Chairman.
