From Chinedu Nwafor Abakaliki
A former Chairman of the All progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State, Dr. Ben Nwoye, has donated his personal residential building located in Enugu to the Tinubu/Shetima Campaign project.
The furnished storey duplex building is located at the Independence Layout axiesof Enugu city.
Briefing Journalists at the Campaign office, Nwoye said the building would serve as the Tinubu/Shetima Independent Campaign office and call Centre for Enugu State.
He said the gesture was part of his personal support and contribution to the APC’s presidential flag bearer, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu and his running mate, adding that “this office will enable us run a formidable Campaign when the time comes.
Nwoye, a serving Commissioner in the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, (FCCPC), representing South- East Nigeria, expressed optimism that the APC and it’s presidential Candidate, would be victorious at the end of the 2023 election.
He stated that the party’s presidential hopeful Tinubu, had the capacity and all it takes to win the poll, urging Enugu State and South East Electorate to shun religious and ethnic sentiments and embrace the Nigera’s ruling party’s Standard bearer.
“This “Tinubu/Shetima Independent Campaign office will also serve as a call Centre. We are going to use it to reach out to all our over 184,000 thousand registered members, and the entire Enugu voters, particularly those at the grassroot level,” he said.
He further said the platform would also serve as a political vehicle to market the Electorate the tremendous huge infrastructural and human capital projects the APC led federal government, under the watch of president Muhammadu Buhari had executed in the State East Nigeria since it took over mantle of leadership of the country.
Nwoye, who is also a member of the Tinubu/Shetima national Campaign think-thank, disclosed that the support group had concluded plans to reach out to all aggrieved members of the party in the state that had defected to different political parties due to the internal wrangling hitherto bedeviling APC in the state.
“We are going to use the Tinubu/Shetima Independent Campaign platform to garner huge votes for our presidential Candidate in Enugu State, and South East Nigeria. Our focus will be on the grassroot level, polling units and political wards.
“At the appropriate time we will take to the people the score card of what the APC led federal government has done in the South East, such as the Enugu Onitsha Express way, Enugu/ PortHacourt express way, 2nd Niger Bridge, establishment of several higher institutions in the zone, Enugu state inclusive, several human capital intervention programmes, amongst others.”END//
