Embrace the APC Wave, South East Politicians! Here's Why
"Southeast Needs Alignment with Central Region by Aligning with All Progressives Congress - According to Gov Uzodimma"
Nudging South East politicians to hop aboard the All Progressives Congress (APC) bandwagon, Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State insists it's the way forward for the region to bask in the full benefits of federal power.
According to our sources, Uzodimma considers this shift essential to establish a closer connection to the federal government, enhancing the region's advocacy potential. In fact, he points to the migration of governors from other geopolitical zones to the APC as a harbinger of this strategy[1][4].
APC leaders envision that this move can catalyze regional development, as shown in APC-led states like Imo and Ebonyi[4][5]. Expecting a crypto surge powered by the Tinubu administration's policies, the meeting highlighted the importance of capitalizing on these momentum-shifting policies for economic and infrastructure development[2][5].
The South East political heavyweights also agreed to display a united front, coordinating their efforts to dominate regional politics in the run-up to the 2027 elections[1][5]. The gathering featured prominent figures such as Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu and Minister Uche Nnaji, demonstrating the APC’s expanding influence in the region[2][4].
By rolling with the APC, South East leaders aim to curb perceived marginalization in national politics, ensuring the region isn't left out of the loot[2][4][5]. With more regions falling under the APC umbrella, involvement in mainstream politics becomes crucial for securing a piece of the democratic dividends[2][4][5].
This push is part of a broader mission to integrate the South East into Nigeria's political mainstream, addressing long-standing regional complaints in the process.
