The former APC presidential Aspirant therefore, called on the Enugu, South East, and Nigerian Electorate to cast their votes for Tinubu/Shettima on the election day, as they won’t regret doing so if his elected.

“Tinubu is well known to us, and that is why we are supporting him” challenging the Inaugurated LGA officials of the ICC to go back to their respective Council areas and begin aggressive campaign for the APC presidential standard bearer, whom he expressed optimism will come out victorious in the end.

He noted that the event was a serious business, because politicking has its engine room at the ward and local government levels, hence, party leaders must all always take issues concerning that areas very seriously ahead of any election.

The ICC Grand patron, urged the members to remain committed and steadfast in the Tinubu presidential project, stressing that after sowing, they will reap.

Nnamani, also harped on the for the party to at all levels to keep building bridges across the country.

Speaking to Journalists at the end of the event, the Ex- Enugu APC boss, Dr. Nwoye, who is the ICC Director, in charge of contact and Mobilization, described Tinubu as a unifying and rallying point.

Nwoye, who is also a serving Federal Commissioner representing South East Nigeria in the Federal Consumer Competition protection Commission FCCPC, stated that ” we have all agreed, irrespective of individual differences that we should come together and support the APC presidential flagbearer.

“Today, our leader, our father and the former Senate president, Distinguished Senator Ken Nnamani, have urged all of us to work tirelessly for Ahmed Bola Tinubu/ his running mate, Senator Shettima Kashim.

“So, the Enugu APC has been unified for Tinubu and Shettima, and we have just one agenda, which is to elect Tinubu as the next president of the federal Republic of Nigeria, and Shettima Kashim as the Vice president”

Speaking earlier, Coordinator of Enugu State Chapter of ICC, Chief Gbazueagu, had appealed to the members not to be discouraged by the poor reward mechanism of the ruling APC, as experienced in the last seven to eight years, since the ruling party took over the affairs of the nation.

He assured them that if elected, Tinubu will change the narratives as a true party man who understands how party faithful are supposed to be rewarded after winning an election

” I want to assure you all that God’s wiling, if Tinubu wins, you will all be happy and be giving a sense of belonging in the party, above all, will be rewarded adequately.

“What we want is victory for Tinubu/ Shettima, and that is why you must all go back to your respective Local government area and begin to spread the good gospel about the APC presidential Candidate who is a tested and trusted leader.

It would be recalled that the duplex office building of the Enugu ICC, which has a former APC Governorship Aspirant in the state, Barr. Ifeanyi Nwoga as Secretary was a personal residential home of the former state Chairman, Dr. Nwoye, who freely donated it to the Tinubu) Shettima Campaign Council.
