Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu said President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the establishment of an agency on robotics and artificial intelligence(AI) for the South East.

Onu revealed this at a grand rally of the All Progressives Congress in Abakaliki, capital of Ebonyi state. The rally which received defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party, was attended by the national chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole.

Some of the defectors who were received include, Senator Sonni Ogbuoji, former Minister of Power and Steel, Chief Goddy Ogbaga, former Secretary to the State Government, Bernard Odoh and former attorney general and commissioner for justice, Chief Augustine Nwankwegu.

Onu told the rally that in 2015 he pleaded with South-East not to put its eggs in one basket but his pleadings fell on deaf ears.

“In 2015 I pleaded with the zone not to put our eggs in one basket. Today I want them to compare the 16 years of PDP and relate it with just 3 years of APC.

“The three years of APC is greater than the 16 years of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP); the second Niger bridge is nearing completion, the Enugu – Port-Harcourt and Enugu – Onitsha highways are in various levels of completion,” he said.

“The time has come for the South East to be in the mainstream of Nigerian politics by voting for President Buhari and APC in 2019”.

APC chairman Adams Oshiomhole said that the current security challenge in the country was devoid of religious or ethnic colouration.

Oshiomhole therefore urged Nigerians not to allow themselves to be deceived by the antics of selfish politicians in the country who are trying to give the security challenges in the country an ethnic colouration to score cheap political points.

According to Oshiomhole, there is a plot to paint the government of President Muhammadu Buhari in bad light by portraying all the killings in some states in the country as the handiwork of herdsmen.

“Let me urge you to be more careful because in this season people are spreading untruth. People are being hired to turn the gospel upside down. They want us to believe that every problem should be explained in ethnic and religious terms.

“We have a problem and we must confront those problems. Criminals must be dealt with individually as criminals. Government at all levels must work hard to protect every Nigerian regardless of tribe or religion, ” he said.

He said Buhari and the security agencies are working hard to put an end to the security challenges facing the country.

Oshiomhole urged the people of the South-East to vote for APC and President Buhari in the 2019 general election as he has delivered democracy dividends to the zone.

” If Buhari has remembered the South-East which did not give him more than 10 percent in 2015, imagine what he will do if you give him 85 per cent in 2019″.

Former Governor of Abịa State, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu said the new River Niger bridge, which the PDP could not construct in 16 years, has now reached 53 per cent completion.

According to him, the South-East will give the President and APC majority of its votes in 2019 in appreciation for all the projects and democracy dividends he has given the zone.

The rally earlier scheduled to hold at the Pa Oruta Ngele Stadium Abakaliki was later moved to a a playground near the Enugu-Abakaliki Expressway following the refusal of the state government to grant the APC permission to use the stadium.

Back to Daura

SE wake up! The deception & propaganda is more real now.

It won't stop the "BacktoDaura" agenda. Rubbish

Igbo people can never support nor vote for a terrorists party.

Igbo people hate killings and will never vote for a party of murderers and killers!

Igbo people love success and prosperity for all and will never vote for a party of backwardness and economy disaster.

I forgot, Igbo people will never support a man that publicly showed how much he hates them without any form of remorse. A man that saw all the gallant Igbo Army Generals, Admirals, Air Marshals, and DIGs unfit to head any of the Nigerian security outfits under his government; no true Igbo will vote or support such a man with clear eyes

Let it be known to all that the very few votes APC/Buhari will get in Southeast will come from rigging and vote buying because no sane Igbo person will ever queue to vote for Buhari to become President again, never!

APC should wake up, forget about Southeast and focus on winning your usual southwest for now, thank you

Did ONU swallow Parrot?... Even Lie Mohammed can not lie this much,

Its time for SE to make ammendment of the mistake they made in the last election.A word is enough for the wise.

Buhari 2019; Igbo Presidency 2023. Nice one from Buhari. More of that...

SE is APC and APC is SE.

Stop equating the opinion of one man, you, to that of South East. South East is a million times bigger than you. Who knows, your opinion might not even hold as much weight as a woodpecker's feather in the grand scheme of things.

That said, whether they vote him or not, we are happy something good is happening in Nigeria. At least you should celebrate that, except of course you hate the sight of good things. And if you hate it that good things are happening in south east, then you're most definitely not a South Eastener.

Buhari that didn't seem not to see any igbo man worthy of any sensitive position especially in the head of the security Chiefs will gladly hand over to the Igbos? keep deceiving yourself but you can't deceive them.

Only election rigging and vote buying can get Buhari up to 100,000 votes in the whole of southeast.

Buhari hates Igbos and Southeast, and Igbos hate Buhari too. We don't hide our feelings like Yoruba people.

We are not cowards, we tell our enemies to their face; we know u don't like us and we too hate u more.

If Buhari goes to the southeast with less security, he might get lynched by angry youths; this is to tell u how much Igbos despise him and his government.

Igbos will rather vote Boko Haram leader Shekau than vote for Buhari, did u get that

Igbo people stand on Buhari is clear and simple, stop making him feel good about it. And of course Igbo people don't care about what Buhari will do if he succeeds in rigging himself into power again in 2019, no biggie, he can't do more than he has done for the past 3 years; killed hundreds of unarmed IPOB youths, retired Igbo military, Police officers instead of promoting and appointing them as heads of any of the security outfits, abandoning southeast region which he made clear in his 5% speech in US shortly after he was sworn in as President.

So we do not expect less from him should he rig himself into power again in 2019

If its not deception pls what is it? A man who tag the whole of the South East region 5% will gladly hand over to the Igbos? A man who said he doesn't know what the Igbos want afteral he has giving them ministerial positions,so you think he will gladly hand over to an Igbo in 2023? You must be kidding me right now. I trust the people of the south east, they can't be fooled by such deceit. Lets I forgot, the Elders of the south east have stated that they are not interested in the presidency, so I'll advice Buhari and the APC to stop the game & the scheming because it's dead on arrival.

They tagged us 5%, now they seriously need our votes.
Please leave us with our 5% vote,you don't need us and we don't need you.
Ogbonnaya Onu, I was wondering why Buhari did not see you and Ngige fit and qualified enough to be the SGF, even after you followed him against the wish of your people, not to talk of no officer of Igbo extraction is among his security cheifs, he came to our land,murdered our youths, branded them terrorist and proscribed IPOB, yet the fourth deadliest killer group globally ranked is walking freely
It simply proves where he places Igbos in his administration, he is really proving his 5%.
Please APC leave us with our 5% votes, letus mourn our youths you murdered in peace.

You sound like an angry little boy with little or no political wit. I'm a thousand percent sure you don't even have a voters card. Your opinion begins and ends on nairaland.

Didn't read all that by the way, but I sense all that is contained therein are just the usual rants, insults, and bragging.

So you think Tinubu is supporting Buhari for nothing? his support is tied to the power shift in 2023. I'll implore you to leave the SE out of their agreement. Afteral Buhari doesn't need the vote of the south east & south south to win according to him - the 5%.

tartar9:

I don't even understand what some people here are angry about. If not sheer madness, why would anyone be angry over a good news?

Look, to all those ranting and raving in here, no one is FORCING you to take advantage of the opportunity. Those who see it and take advantage of it would definitely reap the rewards that accompany the gesture. When they do and give testimony of same, you'd still be here, angry as usual, ranting and raving as usual. Then you'd look back on your life, maybe when you're in your forties, and realise what a wasted life you've led all along.

In addition, no one is forcing you to vote Buhari. Vote whosoever you like. Simple. But if you go as far as destroying a government property out of hate for the man who superintended over it's set up, you'd have yourself to blame.

Congrats to the beneficiaries of this gesture in advance.

Anybody that still thinks buhari can get Igbo's vote with this AI bullshiitt is very dumb!
it is very obvious that this is a tactic to bring over the south east to his camp, but sadly it isn't going to work.
Buhari is a despot and a divider; no sane Igbo person will forget his 5% gaffe or the ruthless way with which he handled the Igbos, instead of listening to them and seeing how he can solve their problems, he brought in the military and acted as if he was fighting terrorism...
Artificial intelligence and robotics is a perfect fit for the south eastern people who are astute innovators, however, Buhari's actions and speeches in the past have made his moves look like the proverbial case of dangling a carrot in front of the south east.
No one will take the bait, It is DOA!

You think AI is the theoretical verbosity your people are known for. ?

A lot of theory and certifications with very little technical know-how.

While the average IPOB in aba, Nnewi or computer village have been dealing with AI all his adult life.

Its Biafra or Nothing!

Fucck him, Fucck His agency and fucck his useless appeals to Igbos for votes!

Buhari 2019; Igbo Presidency 2023. Nice one from Buhari. More of that...

South East/Igbos should not sell their birthright for a pot of porridge. Buhari is bad news to Igbos. Buhari is evil. He demonstrated it, he never hid it. Buhari doesn’t care about Igbos.

There was no mistake in 2015. Igbos voted right. Igbos don’t hate APC. They just don’t like Buhari as a candidate and as a president.

Another candidate there would’ve been received differently. Buhari epitomises evil, arrogance and every reason why lots of youths rallied behind someone like Nnamdi Kanu. Buhari is a no no. If there’s someone who need to change, it would be Buhari not Igbos.

In 2019, Igbos will vote right again. They won’t vote Buhari. They will vote APC but not Buhari.

If voting Buhari would keep Igbos marginalised for a 1000 years, Igbos will choose marginalisation. Those men like Onuh, Ngige, Okorocha and the efulufu called Joe Igbokwe are only working for their tummy and families. To hell with them. Sad I have to say this about Ogbonnaya Onuh because I think he is a huge asset to have.

Btw, I don’t think Igbos need to vote Buhari to achieve the robotics and AI centre which this man is selling to us. Bad internal politics also affected the development of Igbo land. PRODA Enugu should’ve been developed and sustained but it was abandoned. You don’t need Fed Govt in a project like that. The gains of that enterprise were misused and wasted.

Before I forget....to hell with Buhari. I think he will win next year but people like me don’t care. To hell with Bubu and everything he stands for. To hell with Lauretta Onochie etc

Let Buhari win, it will affect Fed govt influence in the SE but it won’t stop the small but mighty and consistent efforts which every Igbo man living all over the globe is making to develop his mbara and umunna.

supported,Apc all the way,they will surely have my vote when the time comes.

Present state of Enugu-Awka-Onitsha federal road abandoned by buhari. Apc zombies will be trying to deceive themselves but we have the facts.
