A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Director General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), Osita Okechukwu has asked governors of the southeast produced by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to continue to support the reelection bid of President Buhari.

Reacting to the statement from the Anambra State Chairman of the PDP’s Presidential Campaign Council, Oseloka Obaze, that the Southeast governors stood the risk of losing their re-election if President Buhari wins on February 16, Okechukwu stated that there was no truth in the matter, adding that Ndigbo and by extension, South East Governors have nothing against Atiku-Obi ticket, but sincerely want to preside over Nigeria in 2023, which only Buhari’s victory could guarantee.

“To be candid we have done a critical analysis of the two Fulani Muslim brothers, Buhari and Atiku, who incidentally are the front runners in the 2019 presidential election and came to the inevitable conclusion that the former has better integrity than the later, has invested more in critical infrastructure and relies more on his people than the later. A vote for Buhari will attract more concrete political alliance with the north than voting for Atiku.”
