The National Vice Chairman, South East of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ijeomah Arodiogbu, has declared that his party was not disturbed by the coalition party, the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Arodiogbu stated this on Sunday, while speaking to LEADERSHIP after a meeting with Abia State chapter of the party in Umuahia, the state capital.
Describing the ADC as ‘desperados,’ the APC chieftain said, “We’re not bordered about them and our government is very formidable and in the right direction.
“We’re not more interested in politicking. We’re more interested in giving good governance to Nigerians and thinking about the future of the nation.”
He further encouraged the chapter to work harder, build unity across different levels of the party, and to work as a family as shown by its symbol.
“The symbol is a hand holding a bunch of broom tied together, not a broom stick, which signifies unity. The strength in unity is the strength of our party,” he said.
In a reaction to a group of protesters that accused him of conducting a Congress, Arodiogbu said, “I’m not here to conduct a congress. I’m here to take stock of leadership of our chapter. I’m here to see how the party is faring and to encourage the chapter to work hard for the upcoming in the country.
“APC hasn’t started congress. We’ve a National Executive Council meeting on Thursday. It is after that meeting that the direction of the party congresses will be known.”
