A former Minister of State for Education, and presidential aspirant of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, has given reasons why he is absent at the ongoing convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja.
In a statement signed by a relation, Chinedum Nwajiuba, and obtained by TOS NEWS, the aspirant said the party’s refusal to zone the position to the South-east led to his action.
“The understanding from the highest levels prior to his involvement, and considering his role in the founding of the APC, was that of consensus as was with the National Chairmanship a few months ago.
“With that understanding, the presidential ticket was to come to the South, and the south-east.
“This has been the hope till the end of the negotiations. He, not wanting to be part of the Dollar and Naira bazaar, is convinced that what Nigeria needs now is no more of the same thing that has kept Nigeria at the low level it has been.
“Our challenges as a country cannot be addressed at the same energy level by which they were created,” the statement said.
