Enugu APC faults one-party state stance

By Francis Igata

ENUGU—The All Progressives Congress, APC, South-East geopolitical zone, yesterday, dismissed calls by the leader of Project Nigeria Movement, Professor Ben Nwabueze (SAN) for ”the winner of presidential election to constitute his government with ministers drawn from both parties or from all the parties that contested the election in a manner to be agreed under a formal accord.”

Reacting to the statement, spokesperson, APC, South-East, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, said: “Whereas we are not opposed to unity of any kind, we are of the candid opinion that the Nigerian state is better off with two dominate political parties in a multi-party system.

“This is the zenith of liberal democracy, where neither APC nor Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will secure two-thirds of the national or state Assemblies, where consensus prevails over family affair.”
