A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governorship candidate, Uche Nwosu, has stated that the APC National chairman, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje would not stop anyone, including Leader, New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, from joining the ruling party.
Nwosu said no single individual owns a party, adding that Ganduje won’t stop anyone from joining their party.
Speaking to newsmen after he paid a solidarity visit to Ganduje at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, Nwosu said Ganduje will be happy seeing people joining the party
“Yes. They had issues but not a single person can owe a party. Kwankwaso coming will also help him in Kano,” Nwosu said, adding that no one should be surprised seeing Ganduje and Kwankwaso resolving their political differences.
“They can resolve their issues in the APC,” Nwosu said, adding that Democratic system in Africa needs to be strengthened.
“Democratic system in Africa needs to be strengthened because the worst civilian rule is better than the best military rule.”
Military has no business in governance.
“You can now see what is happening in Niger. The political class must be closer to the people. I totally condemned military takeover in Niger because it will not help us in West Africa and Africa.
“Look at what is happening in Niger. Most investors are leaving. Some people told me, especially multinationals, that they are leaving the country to where they can do their business,” Nwosu said.
He appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration, urging them to wait for at least a year before judging his performance.
“I have known the party chairman right from when he was the Kano State governor. I just went to pay him a visit as somebody that I have known very well and also to show my solidarity for his emergence as the chairman of the party and also to advise him on the way forward for the party and then ask for proper reconciliation of members of the party and build a united party.”
Speaking on the Imo State governorship election, he ruled out the possibility of him aspiring for the governorship election now, adding that he is supporting the second-term aspiration of Governor Hope Uzodinma.
He further added that his support for Uzodinma was in tandem with the dictates of the party. “I am a committed member of the party in Imo State and would always work for the progress of the party.
“I am not running for the seat for now. Hope Uzodinma is the candidate of the party. We can’t have two APC candidates in Imo State.”
