Chief Chewas Okorie
At a time that leading political parties are considering power shift to the North, the United Progressive Party (UPP), has said its presidential candidate will come from South-eastern Nigeria.
UPP National Chairman, Chief Chekwas Okorie, disclosed this in Owerri after a sensitization tour to the three senatorial zones of Imo state.
Speaking on the chances of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the next general elections, Okorie said the two are parties of reactionary forces. He said UPP will humiliate them in 2015. According to him, “PDP and APC as strangers in the South East whose tenancy had expired. The true progressives in the South West are not wholly part of the APC.”
” With the eventual registration of the APC by INEC, the nation now operates with two political parties comprising the reactionary forces on one hand and the progressives on the other.”
He maintained that the UPP has seasoned members that have made tremendous success with its grassroots structures spread across the country.
Continuing, “PDP and APC are one and the same coin because in them, you have preponderance leaders who have for years brought the nation down through poverty of vision and ideology.”
To address injustice suffered by the region, Okorie said that the UPP has zoned its presidency to the South East, adding that if elected into power, UPP will correct the criminal marginalization and oppression of the zone by successive administrations in the country since the end of the civil war.
He pleaded with the Anambra State electorate to vote massively for the UPP in the forthcoming November 16 governorship election in the state in honour of the late great Zik of Africa whom he noted laboured tirelessly to liberate the Igbo race whose birthday coincides with that date.
