Ward youth leaders of the All Progressives Congress in Ukwa West has expressed their disenchantment over the call by one Ben Godson on the president to remove Hon Nwogu N. Nwogu from the list of newly nominated Board of NDDC

Speaking to the News Men in Obehie the group described the call as mere blabbermouth and a display of sheer ignorance on the act setting up the NDDC

Mr. Obinna Nwankwo, Chairman of the group, said, Ben Godson does not understand that there is an act governing the NDDC Board and that due process must be followed in the award of contracts, he advised Ben Godson and his group of detractors to understand that NDDC commissioners does not give out jobs or approve same but as representatives of their individual states they will recommend based on the needs of their people for the commission to approve and build it into their budget. But, that notwithstanding, he maintained that Chief Nwogu during his 8 months in the board of NDDC attracted 66 Projects into Abia State, he said, this is verifiable and it is there for anyone to confirm free of charge from the NDDC Abia State office.

“Asa is not known for politics of lies, propaganda and witch hunt, we are peace loving people and does not engage in unnecessary noise making”

The group also called on Mr. Ihuoma Dike, and Mr. Allwell Enwereji to do away with acrimony and support the cause of Asa Land, they reminded them that it will amount to futility any fight against the decision of Mr. President and the party, the group opined that going around in an attempt to stop Chief Nwogu will bring them shame and disappointment at the end of the day.

They expressed gratitude to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for nominating Chief Nwogu N. Nwogu describing it as a good decision and restated their loyalty and support for Ukwa West APC and the President.
