Meanwhile, a group, Buhari/Osinbajo Solidarity, in a meeting in Uyo on Saturday, called for synergy towards enthronement of a people-oriented government in May 29, 2015.
The convener of the meeting and former commissioner in the state, Mr. Joe Ukpong, who spoke with newsmen, declared that the essence of the meeting was to brainstorm on how to mobilise massive support for Buhari and his running mate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.
Speaking on the combination of Buhari and Osinbajo as a perfect pair, Ukpong, said their victory in 2015 would bring positive change to Nigeria.
“In 2015, we are going to have two competent professionals steering the affairs of the country. While one is an accomplished army general with experience as a former Head of State, the other is a renowned Senior Advocate of Nigeria.
“So, it is a perfect pair. I want to call on all Nigerians to give the All Progressives Congress the necessary support in order to bring positive changes to the country,” he said.
Ukpong, a one-time senatorial candidate of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, also sought for support for the APC governorship candidate in the state, Umana. He noted that a vote for Umana as a governor of the state would be a vote for progress and development.
