Quotes “I have resigned from the Labour Party and registered with APC. There’s a lot of division in LP both at the national and state levels, and that’s one of the reasons I left,” “My decision to join APC is also because of the need to connect to the centre and bring our people closer because there are a lot of advantages in plugging into the centre.” “Look at the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, 2nd Niger Bridge, and other landmark projects. It is the APC that has brought those developments to Igboland,” "Generally speaking, APC prior to 2023 might not be all that interesting to many. But since the assumption of office of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, there are very far-reaching decisions and policies that this administration has brought in. And those things appear to be the cornerstone upon which many now troop into APC. So, APC currently under the reign of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has done very well by my own objective assessment." "I said so because firstly, you look at the boldness and courage of the president to have declared the removal of fuel subsidies the very first day he took over as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Many people in the past concurred with the fact that the fuel subsidy thing was a scam, but no government took the bold step to deal with it. But he did not waste time, he made a decision." "Secondly, if you look at the APC under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, another remarkable achievement generally is the issue of tax reform. You see, that’s a very big and influential policy of the government, trying to unify the tax regime. And he did that through the introduction of about four bills in the National Assembly. Those bills have been considered. A lot of reviews were made, amendments were made, public opinions were reflected, and at the end of the day the House passed the bills." "My decision to join the ruling party is because of the need to connect to the centre and bring my people closer, there are a lot of advantages in plugging to the center.” "Joining the party presents an opportunity to connect and tap into the abundance of resources at the centre for the good of our people,” "We are ready and committed to taking over power in Enugu State in 2027. We have all it takes and will ensure that democracy prevails,” External links Sunday Cyriacus Umeha Category:Politicians from Nigeria Category:Lawyers from Nigeria Category:1983 births Category:Living people
