Erstwhile Director General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), Mr Osita Okechukwu, has said Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State will be welcomed if he decides to join the ruling All Progressives Congress
Okechukwu, who is a founding member of APC, said this in a statement in Enugu on Monday issued on behalf of the APC Foundation Members in Enugu State and South-East.
He was reacting to a statement that questioned Gov. Mbah’s liberty to join APC attributed to the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Chief Uche Nnaji, at a meeting in Enugu on Sunday.
Okechukwu quoted Nnaji as saying: “Anybody who wants to run for the governorship of Enugu State, let him come to the APC, we will go to contest, we are waiting for them.”
According to him, we the foundation members of APC wish to state unequivocally that His Excellency, Dr Peter Mbah, and his group are wholeheartedly welcomed to APC Enugu State in accordance with the standard convention of our great party.
“Gov. Mbah and his group should not be scared by anybody,” he said.
Okechukwu stated that APC members are at a loss “why Nnaji, who himself is from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is chasing away the exceptionally performing Gov. Mbah”.
“For us, the foundation members, Gov. Mbah should disregard our dear brother Chief Nnaji, because we want to win Lion Building for the first time and join 23 other states to guarantee President Bola Tinubu’s victory in 2027,” he said.
He advised Nnaji to pay more attention to his ministry.
