President Muhammadu Buhari’s
support group, One-on-One Nigeria has stated that its support for the president
was to quicken the attainment of a president of Igbo extraction.
The group, in a press briefing by
its coordinator, Mr Chido Obidiegwu, an aide of Governor Willie Obiano, said it
had taken time to make proper evaluation of the options available to Ndigbo in
the coming presidential election and concluded that President Buhari was way
better an option.
He said, “One-on-One Nigeria is
an independent network of ndi Igbo determined to achieve Igbo Presidency by
returning President Buhari for second term.
“This, we do through a massive
awareness campaign to convince ndi Igbo that four years of President Buhari is
better than eight years of any other person, we hope to achieve this dream via
a project Tagged 4 Is Better Than 8.”
The group argued that the Igbo
pitched tents with President Jonathan and humiliated President Buhari in the
zone during the 2015 presidential election, stressing that contrary to
expectation that President Buhari would retaliate, he rather took Igbo in by
undertaking infrastructural projects in the zone.
“In his wisdom and magnanimity
President Buhari, hearkened to the former and began to address the Igbo’s most
pressing needs which bordered mainly on infrastructural development.
“To this end, he began serious
work on the long abandoned second Niger Bridge, the long abandoned Enugu Port
Harcourt express way, the Zik’s Mausoleum, Ariaria Aba Independent Power
Project, etc. These, among other projects Igbos yearned for over 16 years now
and could only be realized under President Muhammadu Buhari.”
Obidiegwu added that Buhari had
demonstrated his love for the Igbo by picking Dr Chuba Okadigbo and Hon Edwin
Umezuoke as running mates during his first two attempts at the presidency.
“Successive military and civilian
administrations could not do much to elevate the Igbo spirit as desired and
deserved. It only took President Buhari who Igbos rejected at the polls to
address some of their key desires abandoned by previous regimes.
“President Buhari’s other
national socio-economic and political interventions have also endeared him to
well meaning compatriots, hence the tacit support by One-on-One Nigeria for
President Buhari’s 2” term as a vehicle of achieving Igbo Presidency come 2023.
“Given that he is steering the
ship of the nation aright and believing that the fastest and the best avenue
for Igbos to clinch the presidency of Nigeria not in 8 years time but in 4
years time which only President Buhari can offer, we in One-on-One Nigeria are
resolute and unequivocal in our support for this 2nd tenure,” Obidiegwu said.
The group, which mainly consists
of members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and aides of Governor
Willie Obiano of Anambra State, promised to work hard to promote Buhari’s
second term bid, arguing that the matter was beyond political affiliation but
interest of the Igbo.
