The former Kano state governor said the Igbo people had shown massive support to the APC and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

The APC chairman disclosed that the ruling party had decided to break the vicious cycle of marginalisation.

According to TheCable, Ganduje said Tinubu administration will end marginalisation of southeast.

“The present appointments offered the zone by President Bola Tinubu’s administration is heartwarming and with more involvement in the party’s affairs, more would be achieved.“We must break this cycle of marginalisation with determination, unity and total support to the party and President Bola Tinubu-led administration."

Ganduje thanked Governor Francis Nwifuru for following Imo’s trail in massively promoting the party’s activities and sustaining APC’s ideals in Ebonyi state.

He urged the party faithful to get all stakeholders together in their quest to claim Anambra, Enugu and Abia states.
