Failed APC Congresses proves us right – Ihedioha

Former Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, has expressed deep concern and regrets over the violence and undemocratic practices that marred the Ward Congresses of the All Progressives Congress in Imo State and across the country.

Ihedioha made his position known in a statement on Tuesday.

He said: “The mere fact that the APC could not conduct credible Congresses at the Ward level, which is the base of every political party, has vindicated the earlier position of the Peoples Democratic Party, that it is incapable of managing power needless to emphasize their abysmal performance at all levels of government. Indeed you cannot give what you don’t have, and you cannot also build something on nothing.”

He admonished the APC “to make genuine efforts at practicing democracy, realizing it is the party in power and as such, expected to lead by example. Evidently, they have been caught in deceitful ways as a party, made up of desperate self-seeking political opportunists, who neither share common vision nor guided by the spirit of fairness and fair play.”

Ihedioha described what happened last Saturday in many states of the federation “as a shame and mockery of the tenets of democratic practice”, adding: “It is time for the APC to own up and concede failure.”

While reiterating that the reformed PDP remains the only national political party, founded on the people as its fulcrum and notably the only realistic alternative, he enjoined Nigerians to join hands in consolidating the rebranded Peoples Democratic Party.

He assured that the party’s doors have remained open to lovers of democracy at all levels and Imo State in particular.

Ihedioha said: “I thank Ndimo for their refusal to be hoodwinked into believing the now familiar many lies and failed promises of the APC. Let me use this opportunity to assure lovers of democracy, that in truth and practice, ours remain the route to economic, social and political recovery.

“I wish to also express my gratitude to our great party at all levels, for their often restated position and commitment on ensuring a level playing field for all our members to participate and seek to realize their political ambitions. It is for me, a welcome development that Ndimo and Nigerians are once again gravitating towards the PDP to salvage them from failure of governance that has defined the APC government at all levels.”

Ihedioha further enjoined Ndimo and Nigerians at large to be vigilant and continue to believe in the PDP as the only party that can salvage us from the failure of governance of the APC.

“I was delighted to sign a multi-million dollar joint venture agreement with the Del-York Group for “The 042 Arena and Entertainment Park” over the weekend.

The multi-purpose sports and entertainment hub is designed to focus on key areas of development, training, innovation, education, talent discovery, hospitality, and entertainment, among others.

The Sports Arena will on completion feature training facilities, athlete housing, a physical therapy and sports medicine centre, and a performance centre, while the Entertainment Park will have a variety of designs, including screening rooms, stages, amphitheaters; and live, work and play facilities, among others.

It gladdens my heart that investors are now favouring our dear state as a location for businesses and investments. This demonstrates the success of our ceaseless efforts to make Enugu the safest place to live, invest, play sports, and enjoy leisure.

I’m hopeful that this project will create thousands of jobs for Ndi Enugu and also attract more investors and tourists to our state. It will also provide a platform for our young people to showcase their talents, thereby promoting sports and youth development in our state and the entire South-East region.

Many thanks to the CEO of Del-York, Linus Idahosa, who came up with the concept and chose Enugu as the planting soil. My administration will give him and his team all the needed support to flourish.”
