The National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has claimed that governors in the South-south geopolitical zone have abandoned their parties to support President Bola Tinubu for his second term bid because of his transformative agenda.
The APC chairman, who was represented by the party’s Deputy National Chairman, South, Emma Eneukwu, spoke at the party’s 12th Expanded Stakeholders meeting which was held in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
He noted that governors and lawmakers are supporting the president to run for a second term due to his approach to governance.
The APC Chairman said the doors of the ruling party are always open to new entrants.
“I am very happy with the South South geopolitical zone, because all the governors that were in the other political parties before have seen the quality of the character of the president and the person we are presenting and marketing to return as the President of the Federal Republic, because of what they saw in Mr President, they have all abandoned their own political parties, and joined our great party, so that they can put hands together to move Nigeria forward, and that is very commendable,” he stated.
“From the South East, we use the South South as an example, because all the governors are very realistic, understanding, they have moved on abandoning their parties, just to make sure that their goal of making Nigeria a greater country is achieved.”
