APC has has abandoned us — S-East Lawmaker

Following the unexpected emergence of Hon Femi Gbajabiamila as the new majority leader of the house of representatives yesterday, an APC lawmaker from Imo State Hon Austin Chukwukere (Ideato North/South) has stated that the South-east members were not happy because the party abandoned them despite what they passed through during the election.

He said that their constituents had expressed disappointment over the injustice done to the South-east members and that there had been no explanation to them on why they should be treated unfairly.

“We are not happy over our exclusion and the way the party has abandoned us despite what we passed through during the election to ensure that APC has representation in our place. Our constituents have been calling us over this development and we have not heard from the party why this injustice should be meted on us.”
