Reject PDP’s VP Slot – Joe Igbokew Tells Igbos

Spokesperson of the Lagos state All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has called on Igbos to reject the position of Vice President , if the slot is offered to them by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He noted that Igbos having had one of their son occupy the office of Vice President in the past, the position was no longer a big deal.

The APC spokesperson said that the best alternative for Igbos was to support President Buhari in 2019 so that in 2023, other regions will back the Southeast for Presidency. Speaking to the Nation, Igbokwe: “We have had the position before; the offering of a VP slot by the PDP does not make any big deal to the Southeast. We are tired of occupying that position.

“I am very sure the east will support Buhari, so that in 2023, other people will support us for the presidency. The east has to vote massively during the Presidential election to support Buhari.” “If anyone is offering them VP with the view of holding them down, they should reject jt. After all, the Yoruba rejected Shonekan, who was the Interim head of state. We have to vote for other people for them to also vote for us in return.”
