APC receives Canadian members

The All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday received its Canadian members while welcoming the ex-All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) Chairmen.

Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, who received the Canadian group, expressed readiness to work with them to move the party and the nation forward.

He said: “Your decision to come to APC is the best decision you can make. For our Canadian members, we will work with you and ensure you are provided with all the information you need in the foreign country.

“It is obvious that Nigeria is gradually returning to two-party system, which of course was the desire of former President Ibrahim Babangida.

“I have nothing against APGA as a party. My entry into APC is for good. I will ensure for those that defected from APGA that their interest is protected.

“I can understand how the APGA Chairman is feeling. Any party leader will feel that way. It is not easy to lose 22 party chairmen in a swoop.

“I would like Nigerians to know that APC is a credible alternative to PDP. Even with all that is happening, I do not want APGA to die.”

On Anambra election, he said there would be no rigging, warning those who plan to rig not to even imagine it.

“The election will be real without manipulation. We all know that Ngige will surely win,” he said.
