Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, Chief Uche Nnaji, on Monday, said stakeholders in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State are working hard to guarantee the defeat of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state in 2027.
He made the assertion when he led other APC stalwarts in the state to receive more than 500 defectors from the PDP, Labour Party (LP), and All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) into the party.
He chastised the current PDP administration in the state for what he termed as indiscriminate demolition of markets and traders’ shops without prior notice or compensation.
“Ogige Nsukka market has gone; they have bulldozed Ogige Nsukka to ashes, without any notice.
“Many of our people have died out of that singular act of government. If you come to Enugu too, Holy Ghost suffered the same fate, Garki and Abakpa suffered the same fate, and Ogurute market here in Igbo-Eze North LGA suffered the same fate, and I wonder how our people who are predominantly businessmen can survive without trading.”
The minister applauded President Bola Tinubu for appointing Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, a native of Igbo-Eze North LGA, as the Chief of Naval Staff.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu knows that we are here; he knows we are doing all these things for the state and for him and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“He knows and he has our support 101 per cent and he is behind us, we are APC,” Nnaji said.
The minister promised that the APC would work within the law to deliver the state to the ruling APC at the centre.
