President Muhammadu Buhari has again restated his resolve to partner with the people of the South-East geo-political zone of the country, insisting that he would always remain a friend to Nd’Igbo.

The President, represented by the Executive Director in charge of Administration/Training, Nigeria Television Authority, Dr. Steve Egbo, made the declaration in Item Amegu Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State on Tuesday, during a special empowerment programme for widows organised by a non-governmental organisation, Chinedu Ogah Foundation.

Buhari decried his alleged hatred for the people of the South-East, saying it was the handwork of “mischief makers.”

He said, “All these accusations, permutations are all lies calculated to create bad feelings of Igbo people.

“I would remain a friend to Nd’Igbo. I recall that in 2002, I invited the late Ikemba Chukwuemeka Ojukwu to my hometown of Daura. We discussed about the unity and indivisibility of Nigeria.


“In 2003, I picked Dr. Chuba Okadigbo as my running mate in that year’s presidential election. If I hated Nd’Igbo, I wouldn’t have done that.

“In 2017, the Federal Government under my leadership commenced work on the Second Niger Bridge following its abandonment by the previous governments all these years.”

He described the enterpreneurship nature of Nd’Igbo as “unique;” noting that other ethnic nationalities should embrace it to move the country forward.


Earlier in his speech, the Chief Executive of Chinedu Ogah Foundation, Mr. Chinedu Ogah, commended President Buhari for his pragmatic leadership qualities and the delivery of democratic dividends to the citizens since his assumption of office.

Ogah noted that no fewer than 2,000 widows would benefit from the endowment fund for the less privileged set up by the COF to assist poor widows.


“Between now and December 2018, we will roll out endowment fund for the less privileged,” he said.

Lack of parental care due to polygamy spotted.
Anyway nothing more should be expected from the 30th piglet of his family. Someone the father pig himself don't even know. All he knows is that the wife Number 5 has 12 piglets for him.



To Buhari, if after 2yrs u re still fighting to convince someone that u love him, that means ur hatred for the person is very obvious

Igbos Vote Buhari In 2019 To Make Igbo Presidency 2023 More Feasible.

You mean the 5%ers whose businesses are targeted for closure by EFCC and DSS, their roads are left unrepaired because they voted Jonathan, the only international airport in the zone is closed and flights diverted to Lagos, Abuja and Kano under the guise of repairing runway in the middle of the peak Christmas season when you know they will need the airport to return home.

By the way, the same runway which was fine to land almighty Buhari's plane just 3 weeks ago isn't good to land on because it's peak christmas season at the airport? Why didn't you even divert the flights to Owerri or Port Harcourt so that the passengers will suffer less in this fuel scarcity in getting to their destination? Afterall, when you closed Abuja, you chose the nearest airport at Kaduna to divert Abuja flights in order to alleviate the suffering of the passengers to drive just 2 hours from Kaduna to their Abuja destination. Judging by what you are doing in Enugu right now, You could have diverted all Abuja flights to Lagos or Port Harcourt airport without consideration of the plight of the passengers the way you are doing to Enugu passengers right now.

Oga , Talk is cheap. Show in action and deed that you have repented and abandoned your evil designs and everyone will speak of your fairness. Afterall President Umaru Yar'adua from you very own Katsina state is fondly loved by the same people who view his as a fair minded person without bitterness against any group.

I was just wondering why the dictator's team would release such statement and i just realized that the Presidential elections will happen within the next 11 months and the deceit against Igbos have already started.

Very good.
If u claim igbo and yet u can be easily swayed by an abokki then I think someone needs a paternity test

igbodefender:
This is not about being swayed or not being swayed. This is pure political calculation. If Buhari wins in 2019, the Igbos would have a brighter chance to produce the president in 2023. QED.

Let me know how that your paternity test turns out.

If u think any hausa man will ever vote for an Igbo man in this world then u intelligence is a little below that of the guy selling suya at ur Junction

igbodefender:
Drop the hate. So because the guy selling suya is not Igbo you think he is not intelligent.

You're so full of hate, but it seems you don't know it. How can you decide to hate a whole tribe just because you don't like your president? Was this the love you were talking about in this Religion section thread?: https://www.nairaland.com/4131242/acts-2-44-45-wake-up
It's a pity how some Christians preach love and respect in Religion section but spew hate, bigotry and insult others in Politics section. Who are you deceiving?

zionmade1:

If he is the least intelligent he shouldn't be selling that suya. Those of them over there that are a little intelligent are all having juicy political positions.

igbodefender:
To you the concept of dignity of labour does not exist. If everybody is in power, who will be governed? That suya seller can tomorrow create an international meat canning conglomerate if Nigeria and Nigerian lending institutions encourage him.

zionmade1:

In Nollywood movies I guess
Intelligent hausas are scarce commodities for now. So they have enough opportunities. U can't be intelligent and be selling suya. While Igbos and yorubas are making cool cash in ur land with their brains. Direct me to one intelligent suya vendor I will direct him to an immediate job employment in the North

igbodefender:
Chances are that you are that you are wearing an Italian designer shoe. Chances are that the founder of the brand you are wearing was once a cobbler. Never look down on the people down the economic totem pole. It is the system in Nigeria that has ensured that they don't get loans they would have used to expand their business.

zionmade1:

Suya sellers are not intelligent. If u urself believe they were, then why did u take it as an insult wen I said ur intelligence was a little below theirs. Stop being hypocritical. U should have just been happy with that statement
