The chairman who noted this at the party’s secretariat in Enugu said that the party has confidence that such performance would make the peoples of the state to vote for the party.

The chairman of the opposition party in Enugu also expressed satisfaction on the choice of Geoffrey Onyeama as the minister-designate to represent the state in the federal cabinet.

He stressed that President Buhari’s excellent performance would influence the people of Enugu state to be yearning to have their state among the ‘change states’.

Nwoye said: “Anyone who thinks that the opposition is not in existence in Enugu is making a mistake. What will grow the APC in Enugu State is not money; it is the performance of President Buhari.

“When people look at the centre, and also assess the performance of the progressive governors, when they see that security challenges are being addressed, that corruption is being fought, these things will make those who yearn for change to say that Enugu State should also become a change state.”

Against the agitation by some of the APC members in the state for another person to be nominated instead of Onyeama whom they claimed was not a grass-roots politician, Nwoye insisted that the state chapter of the party welcomed Onyeama’s appointment.

Nwoye noted that Onyeama’s selection showed that Buhari wanted as ministers, people who would move the country forward.

He added: “We are very pleased with the choice of Dr Geoffrey Onyeama. It shows the depth of President Buhari’s determination to bring change to this country. It shows that the APC government is a serious-minded one.

“The appointment of Onyeama was not political; it was not based on political awareness or political disposition. The politicians that are not happy with the appointment are not APC people – we are 100 per cent behind the president and his choice of Onyeama as the minister from Enugu State.”
