House of Representatives Aspirant clarifies why he jumped gun from APGA to APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) federal House of Representatives flag-bearer for Orumba North /South federal constituency, Uchenna Okonkwo – Okom a lawyer, has clarified his reasons for jumping from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He said he left APGAfor APC was because of  the party’s inability to produce its own presidential candidate describing the adoption of President Goodluck Jonathan by the party as catastrophically.

Hon. Okonkwo – Okom who spoke in an interview with newsmen said immediately it was gathered that Buhari emerged the candidate of APC, he had no option than to leave APGA for APC adding that Gen. Buhari zero tolerance to corruption informed his decision to defect to APC even as he said president Goodluck Jonathan was not in any way a match for Buhari.

He accused president Goodluck Jonathan of jeopardizing the chances of the people of the South -East Geo political zone from becoming the president noting that what was agreed in 1999 was that South would go for 8 years and the North for another 8 years and that if president Goodluck Jonathan should be allowed to continue it would further block every possible way of Ndi-Igbo producing a president.Speaking on his federal House of Representatives ambition, the legal luminary, prayed the people of Orumba-North and South to obey that agreement reached in 2006 by the two local governments that after the tenure of Hon. Ben Nwankwo it would be the turn of Orumba-North.

He noted that it was only APC party that withheld that peculiar decision reached 2006 and re- assured his teeming supporters of landslide victory.

He said that peradventure Gen. Buhari won the presidential election , he would tackle corruption head-on , create jobs as well as fulfill the promises the PDP could not fulfill to Nigerians .

Okonkwo Okom observed that the federal road in Anambra from Onitsha enroute Enugu was in bad  shape , that the promise of the Second Niger-Bridge  has not been fulfilled to mention a few .He said Nigerians crave for a positive change which he noted can only come through Gen . Buhari as he said that the ex-military president has the courage and temerity to fight corruption to make Nigeria better again.
