Renowned Political economist, Prof. Pat Utomi, has urged Igbos and Nigerians at large to vote for the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), whom he said would restore hope to Nigeria.

Utomi, who is a founding member of the Ndigbo Lagos group, said Igbos have been branded as people who sell their votes to the highest bidder. He, therefore, urged the people of the South-East to vote wisely in order to shed this reputation.

Utomi said this during the unveiling of a Pan-Igbo group, Igboekulie, in Lagos on Wednesday.

While fielding questions from journalists at the event, he said Buhari’s ascendancy can be likened to what happened in the United States in 1981 when the Americans were disenchanted with the Jimmy Carter administration with inflation as high as 29 per cent.

He added that it took the oldest man to run for Presidency in the United States, Ronald Reagan, to turn things around and revive the American spirit.

He said, “I think Nigerians don’t have any alternative in the person of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. I refer to him from my writings as the Buhari ascendancy. That reminds me of what happened in the US when I lived there with President Ronald Reagan.”

“We had one wonderful, nice guy called Jimmy Carter as President. Things went so awfully wrong. Inflation was 29 per cent.”

Well Said PROF!!!

Good talk by Pat utomi. so many of my brothers and sisters in my home state, Rivers state are asking why am supporting APC and Buhari. First, I told them that Governor Amaechi has done well which they all accepted. secondly, I told them that in all honesty that GEJ failed us which they also accepted too. But they will still vote for him. But when I asked them d reasons for still wanting to vote GEJ, they said he is from Niger Delta. There and then, I told them that governance is a serious issue and not brotherly thing. If GEJ is my brother and could not perform, and there is this Igbo man whom I know has the ability to perform and deliver the goods, won't I support him?

Buhari should restore his health first before talking about restoring hope in Nigeria..Prof Pat how sure are you u've not sold your vote to APC?GEJ till 2019

front page torii

I VOTED FOR YOU BEFORE.

I VOTED FOR YOU IN 2007, WAS ROOTING FOR YOU IN 2011, BUT YOUR NOT CONTESTING MADE ME YIELD TO PRESSURE OF VOTING THE CLUELESS ONE.

YOU ARE THE BETTER BRAIN WHICH SOUTH SOUTH HAS, ONLY FOR GOOFLUCK TO COME AND BLOW AWAY THE CHANCES OF MANY OTHERS FROM NIGER DELTA.

SIR, I WILL WANT YOUR HELP IN A MINISTERIAL POSITION AS WE TRY TO SALVAGE THE DAMAGE DONE BY THIS WICKED President Jonathan.

SAI BUHARI.
