SHOCK AS PRESIDENT BUHARI REFUSES TO ENDORSE THE ZONING OF 2023 PRESIDENCY TO SOUTH-EAST…Delivers Very Short Damning Statement
The
Leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the South-East, were at the
Presidential Villa, on Monday, to demand President Muhammadu Buhari’s
endorsement of an Igbo Presidency in 2023, after his second term in office.
Led by the Minister of Science
and Technology, Ogbonnaya Onu, the APC Leaders presented an address in which
they reaffirmed the decision of the party in the zone, in December last year,
to support Buhari’s second term bid.
The address was read to Buhari by
the APC National Vice Chairman for the South-East, Hon. Emma Eneukwu.
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.’’
In his response however, Buhari
declined to endorse the request made for a 2023 Igbo Presidency, but rather
pledged to give his best to all Nigerians, guided by a clear conscience in
making decisions for the progress of the country.
Buhari
said: ‘‘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 will do the best I can
do for all Nigerians’’, he said.
At the end, Buhari did not
address or comment on the issue of an Igbo Presidency in 2023.
