Adams Oshiomhole, national
chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has urged the south-easterners
to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s reelection bid.
He said supporting the president
during the 2019 election would mean more projects and democracy dividends for
the region.
Oshiomhole was speaking at an APC
rally organised in Abakiliki, Ebonyi state capital, on Saturday.
He said despite the low votes
Buhari got from the south-east in the 2015 presidential election, the president
was able to “remember” the people.
“Today, the second Niger bridge
has taken off,” he said, adding: “If Buhari has remembered the south-east which
did not give him more than 10 percent in 2015, imagine what he will do if you
give him 85 percent in 2019.”
Buhari scored 198,248 votes in
the five south-east states while Jonathan got 2,464,906 in the 2015
presidential election.
Oshiomhole also said Buhari is
committed to fighting corruption and addressing Nigeria’s security challenges.
He alleged there are plans to
paint the administration black in the build-up to the election, describing it
as the “season of untruth”.
According to him, “people are
being hired to turn the gospel upside down. They want us to believe that every
problem should be explained in ethnic and religious terms.
“We have a problem and we must
confront those problems. Criminals must be dealt with individually and
government at all levels must work hard to protect every Nigerian regardless of
tribe or religion”.
