The youth wing of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State, has begged Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah to join the party.
This was made known by the Leader of the Youth Wing of the party in the state, Mr. Peter Chime during the ‘Progressives Youth Wing Stakeholders’ meeting’, which was held in Enugu, the state capital, weekend.
This comes after a similar call by other stakeholders of the party.
Chime while addressing the stakeholders, said it had been the yearning of the stakeholders that the governor of Enugu State joins the party.
His words, "We are begging our governor, Dr. Barr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah to join APC.
“We are on our knees begging our governor to decamp to APC so he can connect us to the national level, so that Enugu State will benefit more than we are benefiting today.
“He is the only man that has the capacity to make APC have victory in every election.
“Only the governor can make heavy weight politicians join the party and we are here begging him to join APC".
He also averred that if the governor joined the APD, the gubernatorial ticket of the party will be given to him.
According to him, "If our governor joins the APC, he will get the automatic ticket, he will not drag it with anybody because he is doing what we can see."
He also posited that the Progressives Youth Stakeholders meeting was organised to strengthen the youth mobilisation of the party, prepare the party for victory come 2027 and ask the leaders of the party who left the party angrily to return to the party.
"Today, we organised the APC Progressives Youth Stakeholders’ meeting to strengthen youth mobilisation in the party and to prepare the party for victory come 2027.
“It is also to beg the leaders of the party who left the party angrily or decided to stay calm due to the ill treatment by the Honourable Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Hon. Uche Nnaji and the man whom we have removed as the state chairman, Ugochukwu Agballah who keeps parading himself as the chairman of the party in the state, to please return to the party and rebuild the party," Chime noted.
The Youth Wing of APC in Enugu State also endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term in office come 2027.
Lending his voice, the immediate past Chairman of the Party in the state, Dr. Ben Nwoye, also reiterated that the essence of the meeting was to see ways of rallying support for the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu come 2027 and to woo the governor of Enugu State, into the party.
Nwoye said: “It is part of the ongoing process to rally up support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu come 2027".
Dr. Nwoye also re-echoed his call on Governor Mbah to join the APC, promising that there is a place for him to become the leader of the party in Enugu State.
