Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has called on Achike Udenwa, former governor and Emeka Ihedioha, former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives to join the ruling All Progressives Congress in order to advance the cause of the South-East.
 Okorocha, who made the call yesterday during an interactive forum with newsmen at the Government House, advised prominent Igbo leaders to join forces with him in the APC to fight the cause of Ndigbo.
 He stated that Ndigbo should jettison religious and ethnic sentiments and support the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, stressing that as long as political power now resides in the North, the hope of the South-East producing the president of the country will come to fruition.
“Prominent Igbo leaders should come and join me in the APC to fight the Igbo cause which is the physical and development of the South-East.
 He insisted that the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP)-led Federal Government abandoned the South-East as no federal projects were completed through out the 16 years of the PDP administration.
“The PDP-led Federal Government totally abandoned the South-East but with my party, APC emerging at the centre, I am confident that all the abandoned federal government projects in the South East would be completed.
 He added, if Ihedioha had contested the Senate position under the APC platform as “I had advised him, he would have emerged as the Senate president having already been a principal officer of the House of Representatives.”
