The National Chairman of People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, has accused the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, of deceiving SouTheast zone to vote President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 be subsequently supported to produce President in 2023.
It could be recalled that the minister at convocation lecture in Awka few days ago urged Ndigbo to join the mainstream politics by supporting the APC which he claimed would in turn support the SouTheast zone to produce the president in 2023.
The National chairman, who spoke during rally organized by Ebonyi South Development Public officers Forum at Government Secondary School field Afikpo, Afi kpo North local government area of Ebonyi State ,described Amaechi’s comments as deceitful.
He accused the ruling APC of instituting nepotism in the country by marginalizing minorities in its policies, programmes, appointments and projects.
“We will not be deceived, nobody can pull the wood on our eyes any more.
The best party for Ndigbo is PDP and that is where the future is.
No one will deceive us.
“A minister went to University at Awka the other day talking about APC and the chances of Ndigbo, that’s another deceit and he cannot succeed.
We have been meted here with deceit and lies and nepotism.
“When we talk about how they have instituted nepotism, they will say it is a hate speech.
Our people have been marginalized, our party was founded on the ground of National unity and that’s why nobody can lay claim on this party.
“When you cannot include Ndigbo and the rest of the minority in your government and you expect such people to be happy.
PDP will restore the dignity of Ndigbo and the rest of the minority in the country.
PDP was in government for 16 years and it was all inclusive government.
Even the opposition were appointed “, he said.
He commended Governor Umahi for his development strides and unity of the party in the state.
Governor Umahi in remark said PDP will remain strong and united despite the antics of the opposition.
He expressed dismay that former Governor of the state, Chief Martin Elechi who he described as his grandfather was teaming up with the Minister of Science and Technology to wrestle power from him in 2019.
Umahi said he lost his house, fi ling station, hotel and other valuable properties because of his support for Elechi when the Minister contested governorship in 2007 against Elechi, which he lost to Elechi and that today Elechi and Onu have teamed up to fight him, describing it as irony of life.
