Niger coup will affect socioeconomic activities in Nigeria — APC Chieftain

A Chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Uche Nwosu has condemned the coup in the Niger Republic saying that it would negatively affect the socio-economic development in Nigeria.

Speaking to journalists in Abuja, he however said the coup serves as a wake-up call on those entrusted with the leadership of the entire countries in Africa to ensure good governance in their respective domains.

Nwosu who paid a solidarity visit to the newly installed national chairman of the APC, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje at the party national secretariat in Abuja ruled out the possibility of him aspiring for the governorship of Imo state for now, adding that he is supporting the second term aspiration of Governor Hope Uzodinma

He reiterated that his support for Uzodinma was in tandem with the dictates of the party.

“I am a committed member of the party in Imo state and would always work for the progress of the party”

“I am not running for the seat for now. Hope Uzodinma is the candidate of the party. We can’t have two candidates of APC in Imo state.”

Nwosu who aspired for the governorship of Imo state on the platform of the opposition Action Alliance (AA) expressed optimism that Ganduje would reposition the party.

Nwosu also called on Nigerians at the receiving end of the hardship they are faced with due to the removal of fuel subsidy to be patient with the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration for at least a year before rushing to judgement on his performance.
