Governor Rochas Okorochas' son-in-law and Chief of Staff, Uche Nwosu has called on Igbos to support President Muhammadu Buhari's second term bid as his reelection would be beneficial to the region's quest for presidency in 2023. Nwosu, Imo state Governorship hopeful made the call on Wednesday while briefing newsmen.
He appealed to politicians from the region not to clamor for the slot of the vice president as the position would not guarantee the region presidency in the next election.
“Vice Presidential slot to South East zone in any party, including the PDP is a complete waste because what a president can achieve in one day, a vice president cannot achieve in eight years.
“Aside from the Igbo presidency which Buhari’s second term will secure for the Igbo, he has also done very well for the Southeast.
“With Buhari’s declaration for a second term, the Igbo will only have to wait for four years before producing the next president. So, there is need for every Igbo man irrespective of political party affiliation to support Buhari’s re-election bid.
“Today, we have a Cargo Airport in Owerri and President Buhari did it and today, Anambra State has been enlisted among the oil producing states. All these and many more were done by President Buhari. President Goodluck didn’t do them for us.”
