The Director, Field Operations of the 2015 All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign team, Chief Ikechi Emenike, has insisted that President Muhammadu Buhari has reduced the incidence of corruption in the country.
Emenike said this, while speaking to our correspondent after addressing some groups and party stakeholders at both Item and Nkpa in Bende Local Government Area of Abia State on the way forward for the state.
“Going by the persistence and the successes Buhari has achieved in the campaign, it is certain that by the end of his second term in 2023, the country will be free from the ill,” he argued.
The Abia State leader of the APC maintained that if the campaign against corruption was sustained, it would release resources for the pursuit of developmental programmes and projects in the country.
He noted that though Buhari’s critics had been saying the campaign had been biased and had been against his perceived political opponents, they have at least recognised that something was being done about the
menace.
While inaugurating the leaderships of Emenike Daughters, Emenike Teenagers, and the party’s stakeholders in the area, he said, “I agree with him that if we do not kill corruption now, it will kill the country
later.”
Emenike, who was also the deputy chairman of both Buhari Campaign Board and Buhari Presidential Primary Election Team, predicted that the party would sweep the poll in the state in the 2019 general elections.
Speaking at both venues, the Abia State Chairman of the APC, Dr. Emmanuel Ndukwe, reiterated the support and commitment of the members towards ensuring its total victory in
the election.
He appealed to the youth, who he said would benefit most from an APC government in both the state and the country, to ensure they registered and obtained their Permanent Voter’s Cards.
Similarly, the area Chairman of the party, Mrs. Ucheoma Offonri, said women were the most concerned about the welfare of the people, assuring of their resolve to support the party for a change in the state.
