 Oni: APC will not Disintegrate before 2019

The Deputy National chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Segun Oni today in Enugu dispelled insinuations in some quarters that the ruling party would disintegrate before the 2019 general elections, noting that it would rather emerge stronger and clinch more states in South-East and South-South geopolitical zones.

Oni, who spoke when he led National Officers of the party received a politician and former governorship candidate in Enugu State, Chief Gbazuagu Nweke Gbazuagu, at his ward in Agbugoeze Ward in Oji River Local Government Area of the state said those who are still thinking that they would take back power in the next four years should bury the idea.

He insisted that though the APC had come to stay, the party had no plan of making the country a one party state.

The former Ekiti State governor, however, stated that though the APC won election, it would be stronger to win future elections.

He said the ruling APC would be in a stronger position to win the 2019 election and expressed optimism that future elections would become more  perfect and transparent.

Oni described the APC as a party of all progressives, calling on all progressives outside the circle to come home and join the party.

He further stated that they were happy that Gbazuagu decided to come back, describing him as grass root politician and a man of principle.
