Okeke added that the opportunities would be an inclusive one, where the young, the aged and the middle-aged, would have a say in the running of the state affairs through organised town hall meetings, seminars and workshops.

He said:

“Knowledge is power, the ability to listen to all strata of persons would provide inclusiveness in the leadership of APC in the state.

“The needs of the people would be sought as your voices would be needed in taking major decisions in the state.”

He said that the political blackmail of APC being a Fulani party is not true at all, that is a national party, Igbo should not deny themselves their right of ownership in the political field of the nation.
