Onu stated that party leaders in the zone must come together in order to achieve the target of the party ahead of 2023 general elections.
“I will like to appeal to all our members in the South-east, please no matter how the party offended you, no matter what any person may have done against you, please try and forgive because all of us are Christians. We believe very strongly when offended if we forgive that we are lifting even a great burden from ourselves,” the minister said.
“We no longer want to have factions, we have seen that in Nigeria, the APC is the governing party and this party is very strong and will keep governing Nigeria for a long time to come.
Onu noted that the APC southeast geo-political zone was yet to produce governors elected on the platform of the party.
The minister alleged that the PDP governors in the southeast zone were taking the glory for achievements of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government.
He claimed there was low publicity in the media for programmes, projects and policies carried out in the zone by the APC-led federal government.
