These same people are those who embezzled the<br \/>\nmoney meant for the presidential election in Abia State and collected money<br \/>\nfrom the people in Ukwa (the oil producing area) in the name of securing<br \/>\nNDDC appointments for them, which is being spare-headed by Ben Godson.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Paul Ikonne therefore warns that the All Progressive Congress is not for<br \/>\nsale or a platform to defraud people and those involved should desist from<br \/>\nit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The statement assured that the entire South-east will vote for President<br \/>\nMohammadu Buhari in 2019 election, &#8220;and therefore call on all Nigerians to<br \/>\nsupport the president in his fight against corruption and his quest to fix<br \/>\nNigeria.&#8221;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Prince Paul Ikonne, has said that the party is not for sale, calling on new entrants into the party like former&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":45721,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54844","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
