The National Vice Chairman, South-East of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr Ijeomah Arodiogbu has declared that the party would demonstrate further strength in the forthcoming governorship and state Houses of Assembly elections.
He stated this in Enugu on Thursday while addressing journalists after a meeting of the Zonal Working Committee of the party.
He noted that but for alleged intimidation, the APC would have polled more votes in the zone during the Feb. 25 elections.
Arodiogbu said the presidential candidate of the party, Bola Tinubu won the election fairly and urged both the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the Labour Party, LP, candidates to congratulate him.
He said Tinubu’s victory was of great delight to the party members.
“We are here today to celebrate and congratulate ourselves on the well-deserved and sound victory. Bola Ahmed Tinubu won the election fair and clear.
“Nigerians showed they want APC to continue the good work it has been doing in the country. They want Bola Ahmed Tinubu to build on the legacies of President Muhammadu Buhari,” he stated.
“In the South East, the party could have done better, but there was so much intimidation and attack on our members. Many of them were not even allowed to vote,” he claimed.
He avowed that it would be a different ball game in the next round of the polls.
“The intimidation of APC members and supporters won’t happen again,” he vowed.
