All People Grand Alliance (APGA), Latest Politics, Party Politics, South-East Thursday, November 17th, 2011BY PETER OKUTU
ABAKALIKI— THE United States of America Chapter of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, yesterday, declared that the present status quo of Ndigbo was not acceptable in view of their enormous contributions to the growth and development of the nation.
Secretary-General of the party in USA, Mr. Okwukwe Ibiam, who made the disclosure while briefing news- men in Abakaliki, stressed the need for the country to urgently address issues affecting the South-Eastern states in terms of road network and lack of optimum representation at the federal level, among others.
He noted that the voice of Ndigbo needed to be heard at all levels of governance so that matters affecting them would be given a holistic approach.
He said: “The present status quo of Ndigbo is not acceptable. We think those people’s voices need to be heard.
“Their issues need to be put in public view and debated on their merit. I think that is why we
are in APGA. We have expressed this view point at certain quarters.
The present government in the country on its own should formulate policies and embark on actions that would alleviate the people’s sufferings. They should look into the issue of importation and not allow local industries to close.
“APGA-U.S.A is interested in policy issues, its making and implementation. We are informed professionals who know what is happening in the country.”
