You created your marginalization – Ganduje tells Igbos

 National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, has said the cry of marginalisation by the South-East is self-inflicted.

 

He, however, vowed that the party aims to gain control of the states in the zone.

 

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Ganduje made the remark on Thursday while receiving the leadership of the Kano State Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, led by its Chairman, Aminu Garko.

 

He insisted that the perceived marginalization of the Igbo people might stem from the fact that the five states in the South-East are under the governance of different political parties instead of being united under a single party.

 

The former Kano State Governor said he is committed to securing a majority of the South-East states.

 

“The South-East geopolitical zone is saying the same thing. But what we are telling them is that the marginalization has been created by them.

 

“How can you have five states ruled by four political parties? What will be your political bargain?

“Next year, there will be Anambra, which has been a state governed by APGA for many years, but we have introduced a new scheme.

 

“We want to start with Anambra. Already, we have Ebonyi and Imo. Now, we are encroaching into that zone to ensure that we capture most of the states. And if we get what we want, we capture all the states,” he said.
