The Director of Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari during his presidential campaign in 2003, Chief Uche Ezechukwu has joined the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra State.
Speaking shortly after he was registered in his country home of Amesi, Aguata Council area of the state, he said he was motivated to join APGA in order to assist in building a viable party for Ndigbo, which the party represents.
Ezechukwu, who was also media adviser to the late military head of state, Gen. Sani Abacha, lamented that Igbo people have been grossly marginalised. He, therefore, asked them to forge a common front that would shoot them to the centre.
“As it stands in Nigeria today, people from different ethnic nationalities are going back to their cocoons. My philosophy centres on Igbo, that’s why I decided to join APGA to render service to Ndigbo. Our people are not getting a fair deal from Nigeria,” he lamented.
The Chairman of APGA in the council area, Mr Obiora Ezechukwu and the Anambra South Zonal Chairman, Chief Titus Anigbogu, who handed him APGA party materials, urged Ndi Anambra to re-elect Governor Willie Obiano for a second term to enable him consolidate on the gains the APGA-controlled government has brought to the state.
Meanwhile, a chieftain of the party in Amesi, Ikenna Ezeibenne, disclosed that he had kicked off a re-election campaign for Obiano with the branding of over 40 vehicles.
