Joe Igbokwe: APC foot soldiers suffering

When I was the APC Publicity Secretary Lagos, I doubled as Chairman of Conference of APC Publicity Secretaries, CAPS across Nigeria.
I was in that position for almost six years.
APC National organised a two-day APC EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION & SOCIAL MEDIA WORKSHOP, 12th -13th May 2017 in Abuja. Chief Odigie Oyegun was the National Chairman of our great Party then and Bolaji Abdullahi was the National Publicity Secretary of the party.
In that Workshop, we pleaded and asked that the Party should find a way to assist the Publicity Secretaries whose states are not APC states to do their jobs. They were just answering Publicity Secretaries on paper but in actions and deeds they do not have anything to work with. They had nothing . They put too much pressure on me but I could not do much.
They suffered and they are still suffering till date. Since I left that office, I do not know whether CAPS is still in existence. They have not held any meeting. Nobody remembers them.
I brought them to Lagos on the two occasions and LASG hosted CAPS and treated nicely. Now, what is the import of this? What am I trying to do? What am I trying to make?
APC NATIONAL should stand up and take responsibility. Let me not talk about countless foot soldiers across Nigeria. They work day and night and even do the work of Publicity Secretary with their own data and yet nobody cares for them and even the system they are slaving for has not recognised them. I have tried my best in Lagos to bring them together, pleading for patience and understanding but there is no respite. APC should look inwards and do the needful. A labourer deserves his pay. Reward hard work and the people will do more.
