[REVEALED] As S'West detached, Buhari trying to make peace with S'East ahead of 2019 Election

Seems like the South East is the best bet for Mr. Muhammadu Buhari's 2019 second term Presidential ambition as the crises rocking the All Progressive Congress (APC) has deepened.

Many reports emerged that the former Lagos State Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his allies are set to dump the APC ruling party, to form their own political party ahead of the 2019 general elections.

Contrary to that, Mr. Buhari seems to have no other option than to make peace with the South East region, the people whom he sidelined during his political appointments as the region voted against him during the 2015 presidential election.

Reports from Punch Newspaper have it that President Buhari, is now reviving his old alliances in the south east, and, also have ordered contractors handling various infrastructural projects in the zone to return to site.

This is aimed at ensuring the speedy completion of the rehabilitation of some federal roads in the region. Punch added.

Findings showed that emphasis would be placed on the following projects: Port Harcourt-Aba Road, Abriba-Arochukwu-Ohafia Road (Abia State,; Oji-Achi-Obeagu-Mmaku-Awgu-Ndeaboh-Mpu-Okpanku Road (Enugu State), Second Niger Bridge and the Ikot Ekpene Border-Aba-Owerri Road (Akwa Ibom/Abia and Imo States).

Buhari is also said to be eager to erase the impression that he would punish the zone for voting against him during the 2015 election.

This is coming on the heels of subtle threats by some members of the ruling All Progressives Congress, especially from the South-West, to reassess their membership.

A prominent member of the party, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “Of course, a lot of realignment is going on.

“Even the media war between former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, should tell you something.”

He added, “The 2015 elections taught us that no part of this country can be ignored. The PDP took the North-Central for granted and they paid for it. The news from the South-West is giving us concerns but we are addressing the issues. We don’t want to leave anything to chance.

“The president is a better politician than many are willing to give him credit for. He listens, he has instructed that infrastructure, especially roads in the zone, be revisited. He knows such projects have a direct impact on the lives of ordinary people.”

Igbos would rather accept knives to their respective throats than consider Buhari, 'a Biafran war criminal' as anything..
