Prince Benjamin Apugo, a prominent figure in Abia politics and a Board of Trustees, BoT, member of the All Progressive Congress, APC, has called for support for Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, claiming that his honesty, skill, and demonstrated record of accomplishments have elevated him above other candidates for the position.
The APC leader urged support for the Labour Party’s Dr. Alex Otti for governor, saying he has the resources to develop Abia, while speaking to reporters yesterday in his Ibeku Umuahia country residence.
In response to media rumours that he had sponsored High Chief Ikechi Emenike for governor of Abia, Prince Apugo refuted the claims and labeled the rumours as false.
Apugo claimed that he never approved of Emenike’s desire to become governor and warned against any attempt to exploit him for political advantage.
Apugo claimed that there is no federal presence in Abia State and that the APC-led Federal Government is neglecting the state.
He noted that “APC has not done anything for Umuahia and Abia State, where I come from.
Additionally, Benjamin Apugo, said that the APC had not done much for Ndigbo, and he urged voters to cast their ballots in the upcoming elections based on the qualifications and moral character of the candidates rather than the party’s emblem.
Apugo attacked the Igbo political elite for their disparaging comments on Obi, branding them as self-centered, myopic saboteurs.
