Hehe..Are we sure.....
The
South East zonal spokesman of the All Progressives Congress, Osita
Okechukwu, has commended members of the party in Enugu State “for being
the highest donors to General Muhammadu Buhari’s Support Fund.”
Okechukwu,
in a statement made available to journalists, explained that the fund,
to which the “masses can donate only N100, has so far garnered N54m.”
Okechukwu
told members of the APC in Enugu State that Buhari would “remain
grateful for their contribution,” which, according to him, shows clearly
that “the celestial bond between him (Buhari) and the masses and the
middle class is Pan-Nigerian and that Nigerians are earnestly yearning
for regime change.”
“I
commend my people for being a critical chain in the
Buhari-Bandwagon-Vehicle for Salvation, so that tomorrow nobody can
marginalize Ndigbo,” Okechukwu added.
He
noted that Buhari “has 60 percent chance of winning the 14th February,
2015 presidential election,” because, according to him, “President
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is the de facto campaign manager of General
Muhammadu Buhari.”
According
to Okechukwu, Buhari’s election became imperative because Jonathan
failed to guarantee the welfare and security of Nigerian citizens.
“President
Jonathan lacks neither the political will to stem corruption nor to
fight Boko Haram, that is the GMB (General Muhammadu Buhari) appeal,
even from unlikely quarters like South South and South East.
“It
is my candid view that our dear president wasted golden opportunity by
failing woefully to fulfill the promises he made four years ago.
“For
instance on 13th May, 2010, he awarded a $23bn contract for the
construction of three greenfield refineries; one to be located at
Bayelsa, one for Lagos and one for Kogi – five years down the line the
money had grown wings and the refineries dead on arrival,” Okechukwu
said in the statement.
He
noted that the failure to build the proposed refineries had resulted in
the squandering of over N2trillion annually on importation of refined
petroleum products, the devaluation of the naira, “gross unemployment,”
collapse of the textile and ancillary industries, as well as a huge
foreign debt profile.
The
APC spokesman also accused the Jonathan administration of “posting of
phantom economic growth in the midst of widespread poverty.”
Continuing,
Okechukwu said, “My brothers and sisters, you must agree with me that
if Mr. President, a young man with phd, had performed, automatically
Nigerians from all shades of opinion will not today be clamouring to
vote for an old GMB for president, that’s why President Jonathan is his
(Buhari’s) campaign chief.”
