A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Onyekachi Onyekwere, has urged the Igbo to shun ethnic and confrontational politics and support candidates of the party to strengthen their participation in national politics.
Onyekwere, a businessman based in Lagos, made the call while speaking with reporters in Lagos, saying the Igbo needed to adopt a more strategic approach to politics to secure greater representation and influence at the national level.
He specifically urged the people of Abia State to support the APC governorship candidate, Eric Opia, describing him as young, vibrant and an industrialist with what he called futuristic ideas.
According to him, Opia has contributed to the development of his community through investments, job creation and philanthropy.
