Nigeria’s Vice President, Prof.
Yemi Osinbajo, again on Friday, aimed a dig at the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, accusing it of pilfering the State’s resources.
Osinbajo, who spoke in Enugu
where he commissioned the campaign office of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, governorship candidate in the State, Senator Ayogu Eze, said the President
Muhammadu Buhari administration was different from any other government in the
country.
He declared: “The difference
between us and any other government in this country is that we will not steal
money meant for the people.”
The Vice President maintained
that the President Buhari government was totally committed towards the
development of the South-East, stressing that “there is no favour that anybody
can do to the Southeast.”
“It is a right, it is your right
to have good governance, it is your right to have federal presence,” he further
stated, adding that the zone must be fairly treated.
On what the APC-led government
was doing for the Southeast, he said President Buhari had been fair to the
zone.
“Today in our country, we have
five ministers from the Southeast, not ministers of states, they are all senior
ministers. In fact, in President’s own state, we have a minister of state.
“The President is committed to the
development of the Southeast that is why the Second Niger Bridge and the roads,
like the Enugu-Porthacourt are being given attention by this government,” he
said.
Osinbajo noted that while the PDP
government merely awarded contracts and did nothing on the critical projects,
the President Buhari led government was doing quality works on the projects in
the zone.
“There is no project concerning
the Southeast that will not be done and done well,” he assured.
He appealed to the people of the
zone to continue to support the party, expressing hope that with the quality of
leaders in the Enugu APC, the party would record victory.
Earlier, the party’s guber
candidate, Senator Eze lauded President Buhari’s policy for his second term
bid, termed ‘Next Level.’
He said issues of job creation,
political inclusion, among others, “form part of what we plan to do here in
Enugu.”
He dismissed claims by a section
of Ndigbo that Buhari hated the people, stressing that the same people
spreading the lies gathered and endorsed PDP’s presidential candidate, Alhaji
Atiku Abubakar.
While telling Buhari not to be
perturbed about the endorsement, Eze said such decision would only be
meaningful if the entire Ndigbo sit in a council and take a stand as they were
not in a single political party.
