The Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, Chief Uche Nnaji, has said that the All Progressives Congress will take over Enugu State in the 2027 general elections.
He recently had his say while receiving over 500 defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party, Labour Party, and the All Progressives Grand Alliance into the APC
Blasting the Enugu State government’s harsh demolition of markets and people’s shops without prior warning or compensation, Uche insisted that the destruction has inflicted serious hardship on traders.
According to him, the demolition has led to the deaths of several traders in the last year, and he wonders how the government expect the business-minded people to cope without the Ogige Nsukka market.
“Enugu has never had it this bad, and as I stand today, I imagine how a people can survive without something like Ogige Nsukka market.
Ogige Nsukka market has gone; they have bulldozed Ogige Nsukka to ashes, without any notice.
Many of our people have died out of that singular act of government. If you come to Enugu too, Holy Ghost suffered the same fate, Garki and Abakpa suffered the same fate, and Ogurute market here in Igbo-Eze North LGA suffered the same fate, and I wonder how our people who are predominantly businessmen can survive without trading,” he said.
Uche Nnaji appreciated President Bola Tinubu for appointing Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, who is from Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area, as the Chief of Naval Staff.
He concluded by assuring that the APC will do everything possible to displace the PDP government under Governor Peter Mbah in 2027.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu knows that we are here; he knows we are doing all these things for the state and for him and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
He knows and he has our support 101 per cent and he is behind us, we are APC.
We are going to fight, we are going to do everything humanly possible and within the ambit of law to make sure that come 2027 our people will start rejoicing again,” he added.
