Igbo APC leaders to Buhari: 2023 Straight

“It is our conviction that four years is not enough for you to complete this worthy journey, hence the need for another four years to enable you make Nigeria truly great”.
With the above words, leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in South-East state, on Monday, told President Muhammadu Buhari that his re-election in 2019 “is already assured”.
The leaders spoke in Abuja during a courtesy visit to the president at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Buhari had earlier pledged to give his best to all Nigerians, guided by a clear conscience in making decisions for the progress of the country.
Buhari thanked them for their patriotism, sacrifices and support for the peace and stability of the country.
He commended the South-East leaders for acknowledging the laudable and consistent efforts of his administration to restore Nigeria to the position of eminence.
“I am very pleased with your patriotism and consistency in supporting our administration. You are always going around explaining things even at the risk of abuse.
‘‘I want you to know that I have not forgotten the efforts and sacrifices you have made in the successes I have achieved in my position and I appreciate what you are doing for the stability of our country and the future of our children and our grandchildren.
‘‘I assure you that whatever I try to do, I will do it with a clear conscience and I’ll do the best I can do for all Nigerians,’’ he said.
In an address on behalf of the South-East leaders, National Vice Chairman, South-East APC, Hon Emma Eneukwu, thanked the President for the several projects receiving attention of the Federal Government in the region.
He said the projects included the Second Niger Bridge, Enugu-Port Harcourt road as well as the Enugu-Onitsha –Owerri road, among others.
Eneukwu reaffirmed the unanimous decision of the party in the zone on December 31, 2017 endorsing the President for a second term in office.
He said: ‘‘It is our conviction that four years is not enough for you to complete this worthy journey hence the need for another four years to enable you make Nigeria truly great.
‘‘We implore Mr President, as a just and fair-minded leader, to make history by supporting the zoning of the office of the President in our great party to the South East at the end of your second tenure in office as President in 2023.’’
