The Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria, VON, Osita Okechukwu has revalidated his membership of the All progressives Congress APC of Eke ward in Udi local government area of Enugu state.
During the revalidation exercise, Mr. Okechukwu said that the on-going membership revalidation and registration exercise met the constitutional provisions of the party and will most importantly make the people the genuine owners of the party instead of Godfathers.
He said he was surprised that the party’s pioneer national chairman, Pa Bisi Akande, its national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the immediate past chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole were all opposed to the noble exercise.
“Let Comrade Oshiomhole tell you that APC revalidation and registration exercise is unconstitutional or Pa Akande that it is waste of resources, tell them it is fake news, for the registration exercise is to make the people the genuine owners of our great party and not godfathers. APC constitution mandates us under section 9(4) to update our membership every six months.”
Mr. Okechukwu, who is one of the founding members of the ruling party, said the revalidation and registration exercise was an opportunity for Ndigbo to reconnect the pragmatic Zikist Alliance which had been very beneficial to Eastern region.
“The APC will offers us in addition to 2nd Niger Bridge, the Port Harcourt – Maiduguri Standard gauge rail line and Ranches to curb herdsmen soonest,” he said.
He called on the people of Enugu State and Ndigbo in general to come out en-masse and embrace the pragmatic Zikist Alliance by identifying with the only party that has remembered them in terms of infrastructure.
“President Muhammadu Buhari’s government has no doubt left indelible marks in the South-East by doing what the PDP never attempted to do for 16 years running,” Okechukwu noted.
