“Anambra and Igbo people need to be at the centre of what is happening in Nigeria, we have to stop playing mushroom politics with parties that cannot lead us to anywhere,” he said.
In his remark, Ejidike said Okoye’s entry into the party was a great addition to the fortune of APC in the state, adding that the former police boss had made a well informed political decision.
“APC has done so much for the South East and Anambra in areas of infrastructure, the South East has never had it like this.
“The only way we can get more is to join the mainstream and 2023 will be a sure bet for South East to produce the next president, “ he said.
