Presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari
(rtd.), has been told not to bother about the
South-South as the region will vote
massively for him and all the other
candidates of the party in the forthcoming
general elections. Rivers APC gave the
assurance in a statement in which it
congratulated Buhari on his successful
South-South Rally held in the Rivers State
capital, Port Harcourt, on Thursday.
“There is nothing to compare between
General Buhari and President Goodluck
Jonathan when it comes to caring for the
welfare of the people of the South-South.
While President Jonathan has confessed that
he deliberately refused to develop Rivers
State and the entire of South-South, General
Buhari built one of the refineries in South-
South and constructed the only road that
links Bayelsa with Rivers State.
This shows that if he is given another
opportunity, he will develop the South-South
more than President Jonathan, who has
refused to develop the region and therefore
does not deserve the people’s vote. The
people of the South-South will indeed vote
massively for General Buhari and other APC
candidates for the various elections on
March 28 and April 11,” Rivers APC Chairman,
Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, said in the
statement.
He commended General Buhari for
promising to fight corruption frontally upon
assuming office as Nigeria’s next president.
“The party agrees with Buhari that if we
don’t fight corruption, corruption will kill us
as a nation. We are privileged to have Buhari
as our presidential candidate; he is the
bullet we have to fight corruption and by
29th, March, 2015 when General Buhari
would have being announced as the
President elect of Nigeria, corruption will be
reduced by 80 percent,” Ikanya stated.
The Rivers APC Chairman dismissed
President Jonathan as an unmitigated
failure, saying: “His clueless administration
has run our economy aground. Our naira is
so devalued and the economy in such
shambles that allowing Jonathan to stay in
office a day longer will spell doomed for our
beleaguered country.”
Ikanya noted that under the watch of
President Jonathan, the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) has continued to bomb, maim,
kill and destroy anything that is APC.
According to him, “Over 40 of our members
have been killed. Our secretariats are
bombed and destroyed. Our lives are on the
line just because of election. Dame Judith
Amaechi, the wife of the Governor of Rivers
State and Director General of the APC
Campaign Organisation, was attacked few
days ago while campaigning, by the PDP
hoodlums. Chidi Adi Amaechi, the younger
brother of Governor Amaechi, a student of
Igbinedion University, Okada in Edo State,
was attacked brutally and his life is on the
line just because of election.
Our campaign Directors, Ade Sam Wobo and
Emmanuel Chinda, were all attacked and only
escaped death by the grace of God. Is that
the type of leadership that we want for
South-South and Nigeria as a whole? PDP
hates our region and we will surely punish
them with our votes and with the
eradication of cloned cards through the use
of Smart Card Reader by INEC, PDP will surely
be buried come March, 28th, 2015 to save
our nation from the hands of vicious and
clueless leadership.”
In another development, in an interactive
town hall session with the non indigenes in
Rivers State, General Buhari was assured
that with the threat by Chief Wike to send us
out from Rivers State and close down our
business outfits and stop all the good
things, Gov Amaechi has done to us, voting
for PDP in the South-South means voting
and preparing our coffins for our burial as a
group.
This is the time to thank and appreciate
Governor Amaechi for indentifying with our
aspirations and well-being by appointing
one of us, Barr. Chuma Chinye into the State
Executive Council as the Commissioner of
Commerce and Industries, Ade Adeogun as
the Executive Chairman of Rivers State
Environmental Sanitation Authority, David
Iyofor as the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to
the Governor, Chief Eze C Eze and our other
members into some sensitive positions in
the State. Offering of scholarships to our
children and ensuring that our children pay
the same fees with indigenes in all the
schools in the State.
It will be act of wickedness if we fail to vote
for APC and with Dr Dakuku Peterside who
have assured us that he will improve on
most of the things Governor Amaechi has
done for us as our flag-bearer, beating PDP
with a visionless leader like Chief Wike is not
a big task to us; the non-indigenes assured
General Buhari and Governor Amaechi.www.freshangleng.com/mobile/news/1955-south_south_will_vote_massively_for_buhari___apc_boasts
