Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, Abia state governor and ally of governor Nyesom Wike, have stated that he he wants to know to know what is on the table for the Igbo if the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, wins the 2023 election.
The governor spoke during the 31st anniversary celebrations of the state, he said every part of Nigeria, including the South East zone, needs to have a voice in the PDP saying that the zone has suffered under the APC-led administration.
Ikpeazu said no body from the zone is in the highest decision making body of the present administration including the military.
He further noted that he has no apology to make to anyone if his call for the party to be sensitive to the yearnings of the South East is being misunderstood.
''As we board the train of PDP today, we need to know what is on the table for Abia people and Ndigbo.
''Every part of Nigeria including the South East needs a voice in PDP. This is the way to go because we have suffered under the present APC government where no South East man in the hierarchy of service chiefs and all levels of decision making in Nigeria.
''The day the decision was made for the South East to have operation python dance, nobody from the South East was there to explain to us that it is just a joke.
''If the call for my party to be sensitive to the yearnings of my people makes me look like the cry of a child, so be it.
“I am an important member of PDP. We are not in a hurry to leave PDP, but as a leader of the Igbo, I want to draw the attention of my party to the fact that there are three things the leadership of Nigeria needs.
“One is security ,we need to arrest the slide in terms of insecurity. We need to fast track socio economic development and national cohesion and inclusiveness'', Ikpeazu stated.
