Governor of Delta State, Emmanuel Uduaghan has warned the All Progressives Congress against marginalising the South-South and the South-East because they didn’t vote for the party.
Uduaghan added that all Nigerians must have a sense of belonging so as to prevent people from going back to the trenches.
Uduaghan while speaking during a programme on Channels Television said “Governor Rochas Okorocha said the APC is in the mainstream of the South-East but that is not true. If you monitor their meetings and the zoning (of key offices), they (APC) seem to be leaving out the South-East and the South-South because the zones did not vote for them.
“That is very dangerous because every segment of Nigeria must be carried along. This is because the thing that disenfranchises people and makes them to go back to trenches is very little. One of the issues in the last four years was that the North was not carried along but was neglected by this present government and there was an inflammation of the Boko Haram because of that.
“Boko Haram had been there before four years ago but because the North was not being carried along, people were unemployed; the group of people to be recruited was very much available. This can happen in any part of the country and that is why I am saying that they (APC) must first put Nigeria together and ensure that every segment of Nigeria has a sense of belonging. Don’t say these people are nobodies and you take them for granted, it would be very dangerous.”
He also added that President Goodluck Jonathan lost the elections because some people around him were not telling him the truth.
