National Chairman of APGA, Chief Victor Oye has advised the Igbo people in Nigeria to quit playing the emotional politics of always concluding that the Nigerian political system will to favor them.
He said Igbos were killing themselves by not supporting APGA, a party they should be using to establish themselves as real contenders in the politics them.
His words, 2019. “Everything to them is about a particular interest and once they make up their mind to go towards a particular direction, that is where a sizeable number of them will go.
“The Igbo should come together as a people to discuss their common interest. Their common problem is unity. They can’t always come together and they are easily carried away by extraneous things, as demonstrated in last two elections of 2015 and 2019. Igbo should realign themselves and re-determine the options before them.
“What happened last Saturday was that the Igbo people worked as a team, but in the end, they lost. They won the battle of self assertion and lost the war. They asserted themselves, showing they can make things happen.
“It shows that if they had pulled resources together and worked under a political party, they would make more forays. Igbo need to play at the national politics, not ethnocentric regional politics knowing that Nigeria is a monolithic political structure. My advice is that our people should be wiser so that they can get things right.
