The member representing Imo-North Senatorial Zone, Sen. Frank Ibezim, has declared the Minister of State for Education, Hon. Emeka Nwajiuba, is the best presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the South-East zone.
He also appealed to members of the ruling party from the South-Eastern part of the country to make him their consensus candidate ahead of the forthcoming primaries.
Ibezim in a statement he issued in Abuja on Friday also stated that since Nwajiuba has the competence, youthfulness, likeability and given his closeness to President Muhammadu Buhari, the zone should not throw away the golden opportunity that is beckoning on it.
He noted being the first from the zone to pick the party’s nomination forms, Nwajiuba has demonstrated his seriousness, capability and commitment to lead the party to victory, adding that the minister deserves complete and total support of members especially from the zone.
“For long we have clamored to be given the opportunity to provide leadership for this country at the highest level.
“Hon. Nwajiuba is that person who has the competence, youthfulness, likeability and closeness to the President and other key stakeholders of the party.
“Nwajiuba from every indication is the key to the APC presidential ticket, let us rally around him.
“Let us not give those who mock the Igbos that are never united the room to do so. With Nwajiuba already in the ring, let us rally round him.
“Let us not throw away this golden opportunity. This is the time to speak with one voice.
“I call on Igbo leaders to rally together to enable us get to this destination,” Ibezim stated.
