Deportation: S-East APC begs Ndigbo to forgive Fashola

Following the unqualified and unreserved
apology tendered by Governor Babatunde
Fashola for the controversial deportation of 14
Anambra indigenes from Lagos State to
Onitsha, the All Progressives Congress (APC), South-East zone has appealed to Ndigbo and
Anambrarians in particular to forgive and
forget. The party also appealed to Ndigbo, to put the
matter behind them, especially those who
wittingly or unwittingly are transferring the
aggression on Senator Chris Ngige’s bid to
return to Anambra State government to
complete the good works he started. In a statement through the Zonal Publicity
Secretary, Osita Okechukwu, South-East APC
warned that the mistake of some Lagos State
government officials should not be used to
deny Anambrarians the golden opportunity to
elect Senator Ngige to complete his blue print. It maintained that Anambrians must be weary
of those money mongers and big bankers
whose only manifesto is propaganda and whose
only interest is profit motive. The statement reads in part: “Now that
Governor of Lagos State, His Excellency,
BabatundeRajiFashola has tendered unqualified
and unreserved apology, we plead with Ndigbo
and Anambrarians in particular to forgive and
forget.“To err is human and to forgive is divine. Accordingly, we appeal to our people to put the
matter behind us, especially those who
wittingly or unwittingly are transferring the
aggression on Senator Chris Ngige’s bid to
return to Anambra State government to
complete the good works he started. “Ngige we must recall opened our eyes to what
prudent management of state revenue can
achieve, before then the governors only share
the money and abandon projects. He did 20
percent of his Blue-Print, Governor Obi did and
we need Ngige to complete it for the interest of future generations. “It is also germane to note the roads Ngige
tarred years ago are more durable than that of
Governor Obi” the party stated. It enjoined Ndigbo to all bear in mind that it
pays to place the bigger picture ahead in their
calculations and the bigger picture in this
instance is to elect Senator Ngige, who is a
tested and trusted hand. The statement
stressed that “They will tell you that Ngige is stingy. Yes Ngige is stingy, because he defends
the interest of the greatest number of
Anambrians and not the few big men. “In sum, now that Governor Fashola has
tendered an unqualified and unreserved
apology, we should forgive and forget, for we
must not use the mistake of some Lagos State
government officials to deny Anambrarians the
golden opportunity to elect Sen Ngige to complete his blue print” South-East APC
stated.
