The All Progressives Congress (APC) is confident of winning the 2019 gubernatorial election in Enugu state, South-east Nigeria.
Enugu state chapter of the party bragged that with the calibre of politicians that had defected to it, the party would win every election in the state.
The party state chairman, Dr Nwoye, stated this when he addressed members of the party after an inaugural meeting of the party’s caucus in Enugu.
”We’re in opposition now, but we are going to take over. We must make up our mind to take over Enugu state in 2019.’
”Caucus meeting is strategic because it’s where strategies are brought out, all of us must wear our thinking cap to achieve success,” Dr Nwoye said.
Major agreement
Dr Nwoye disclosed that the major agreement they had at the meeting was that APC in Enugu was ready to participate in the local government election, when the timetable for the election is released.
”The issue of whether Enugu APC will go into that election has been resolved today and if the ruling party in the state honestly decides they want to hold a local government election through a legitimate process by announcing the timetable and other things, we are ready.
”To that effect, the Enugu APC Caucus resolved to form a local government election committee headed by the former speaker, Eugene Odoh and former ENSIEC chairman, Dr. Boniface Ene as secretary, to put our house together,” the chairman said.
