Onu Celebrates Enugu APC Members, Rallies S’East’s Support For Buhari

Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnanya Onu, yesterday doled out money and other items to members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State, even as he urged party faithful in South-East not to relent in their support for President Muhammadu Buhari and the party at all levels.

Addressing members of the Enugu State Executive council (SEC) of the party at the state Secretariat in Enugu yesterday, the Minister, expressed appreciation to the party members for the continued support they had been given to the party and President Buhari, urging them not to relent.

He said that although members of the party in the state and zone had been undergoing tough time as an opposition party, they would smile when APC must have formed governments of the respective states in the geo-political zone.

Onu equally stressed the need for unity among party members in the state, saying although “as an opposition party in the state, our members are facing some tough time, which I strongly believe will be over in no distant time.”

The Minister, who had earlier commissioned a project at the Project Development Institute (PRODA), Enugu, before a visit to the Enugu APC office, assured the party members that President Buhari had them in mind, and would continue to embark on people-oriented programmes and policies.

In a remark, Enugu state chairman of the party, Dr. Ben Nwoye, expressed appreciation to the minister for the visit, despite his very tight schedule, describing him as a true leader and man of the people.

The chairman regretted that some people who got appointment because APC won the election had decided to abandon the party faithful.

He said: “This man came here all the way from Abuja, came in straight. He is not a minister from Enugu State, but he does not view himself as belonging to just Ebonyi.

“He is a true Nigerian; he came in here, spent time with the party despite his very tight schedule and encouraged us. And because he has always supported us, Enugu State will always stand by Ogbonnaya Onu.”
