The Presidential Support Committee (PSC) has expressed optimism that President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will defeat the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South-East and South-South in the forthcoming general elections.
The South East Coordinator of the Committee, Chermberline Adiaso made this known in a statement issued to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Monday in Umuahia. He explained that the impressive turnout of supporters at the start of the Presidential Campaign in Uyo, in Akwa Ibom, was a sign that Buhari would win in the two zones.
He further said since the President has done well in Igbo land, people in the region will massively support his reelections bid.
“Some of Buhari’s achievements in the South East include the implementation of the Home Grown School Feeding Programme (HGSFP) in all the five states, whereas there was random selection of states in other geo-political zones. The second Niger Bridge project and the Enugu-Port Harcourt dual carriage way reconstruction as well as rehabilitation in Aba are part of the footprints of Buhari in the South-East.
"The investment of 5 million dollars in the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Umuahia, to establish modern diagnostic centres, is also among the laudable achievements of Buhari’s administration in the zone."
He assured that his campaign team would work tirelessly to ensure a landslide victory for Buhari and APC in the South-East in 2019.
