Senator Osita Izunaso, a former chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is the National Organizing Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC). He recently spoke with reporters on the preparations of his party towards the 2019 general elections and other issues. TEMIDAYO AKINSUYI brings the excerpts:

What are the plans of the APC to capture more states in the South-east, considering that it is the party at the centre?

In every political calculation, our party is doing well now in the South-east more than before. Recently we went to receive the former governor of Ebonyi state, Chief Martin Elechi into the party. In Abia state, we recently received officially all the decampees from the other political parties who joined APC. Today I can tell you that Abia has collapsed into APC. The former governor of Abia state, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu is now with APC. So also as Chief Marc Wabara, former Managing Director of Hallmark Bank Plc; former Minister of Labour, Emeka Wogu; Senator Nkechi Nworgu; Senator Nwanunu; Senator Chris Adighije and a whole lot of other people have all joined the party. Today APC has gotten its bearing in Abia and if there is going to be a general election today, the story in Abia will change.

In Enugu state, virtually all the bigwigs have joined the party, beginning from Senator Jim Nwobodo, Senator Ken Nnamani, Senator Gbazuagu, former governor Sullivan Chime and a lot of other people in Enugu state have since joined the APC. In Ebonyi, the story is not different. In Anambra, you saw that during the just concluded governorship election, APC was a party to beat.

In Imo, we already have a sitting governor and a couple of other people are with the party. So the stand of APC in the South-east is improving and our chances are very bright. It is important I use this medium to call on my brothers and sisters from the South-east to know that the only channel for us to remain relevant in the national equation is through the APC.

Are you saying that the APC has delivered on its promises to Nigerians?

Of course, yes! We have delivered and we are still delivering. It is just that people don’t appreciate. When we came into the system Nigeria was in recession but today we have been able to navigate Nigeria out of recession. If it is not an APC-led government that inherited a Nigeria that was in recession, we would have moved to depression. So from recession we are able to get Nigeria out of the hole, so who says we are not doing our best?
