APC Cheats Igbos at National Convention

By Fejiro Oliver

The All Progressive Congress (APC) National Convention which held in Abuja on Friday saw the South East being overlooked during the selection of the national leaders of the party.

The convention which took place at night Elombah.con observed did not give room to an Igbo man to speak or make contribution apart from the Master of Ceremony.

We gathered authoritatively that Senator Chris Ngige who came to the Eagle Square venue with his prepared speech was not allowed to deliver it. Attempts by him to make a case for it, our source said led to a shouting match between him and some northern politicians which almost saw him physically manhandled.

Ngige fared better than Senator Annie Okonkwo who was frog-marched out of the venue having been earlier suspended as National Vice-Chairman, East.

The end process of the election saw the South East completely cheated as they got no important position.
