Maj-Gen. Mohammadu Buhari (retd.)
The All Progressive Grand Alliance says it cannot
throw its weight behind President Goodluck
Jonathan as it is very likely that the candidate of
the All progressives Congress, Maj.-Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), will emerge the winner
of the presidential election next month.
The Chairman of the Lagos State chapter of APGA,
Mr. Campbell Umeh-Nzekwe, who is also a special
adviser to the national chairman of the party, said
this during an interview with our correspondent, on
Sunday.
Umeh-Nzekwe said Jonathan’s problem was
compounded by the fact that the motion to adopt
him as the consensus candidate of the Igbo for the
2015 presidential election failed at the Ime-Obi
(inner caucus) meeting of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on
Saturday, in Enugu.
He added that the sermon of renowned Enugu-
based Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, that
Jonathan had failed and should step down seemed
to have sent shockwaves across the South-East.
He said the party was sure that Jonathan would
not win votes in the North.
He said, “The game has changed. As it is,
Jonathan has no chance of winning. Buhari seems
to have taken over. The PDP has collapsed in the
North if you care to know. All those who are
running to Aso Rock and making promises to the
President are just deceiving him.”
When asked if APGA would be supporting Buhari
next month, Umeh-Nzekwe said he could not say
for sure.
He said, “Jonathan is a sitting President with
incumbency factor in his favour but Buhari has the
masses and a cult following in the North. In 2011,
Buhari won 12 million votes in the North with his
rag-tag party, the Congress for Progressive
Change, without a single governor or senator to
campaign for him.
“Today, his party, the APC, has 14 governors, 43
senators and 176 Reps as well as 625 House of
Assembly members. Also, the APC has dominant
control of the North-West with a total number of
18.4 million voters and North-East with 10.2
million while South-West has 13.4 million voters
“ The PDP has dominant control of the North-
Central and Abuja with 10.4 million voters while
the South-South has 8.5 million and South-East
has 7.2 million votes.
“However, no zone has achieved 50 per cent of
votes cast but northern voters are more committed
and trustworthy than those in the South.
“Also, look at Jonathan’s campaign team. He has
Col. Ahmadu Ali (retd.) as his Director General and
Peter Obi as the deputy while Buhari has Governor
Rotimi Amaechi and Senator Olorunnimbe Mamora
as director general and deputy respectively. It is
time for Ndi Igbo to review their strategy.”
