Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the federation, has asked the south-east to endorse President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid in order to secure the presidency in 2023.

Mustapha was speaking to journalists after the meeting between Buhari and the south-east governors at the presidential villa on Wednesday.

On whether Buhari used the opportunity to solicit the votes of the south-east, Mustapha said: “This obviously might not be most appropriate time. You remember there was a programme in the south-east where Mr. President asked me to represent him and I flew the kite by telling the south-eastern states that their quickest and easiest means to presidency is to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term.

“Meaning that they can short circuit the period in terms of only having him there for another four years and whatever they do in 2019 will determine what will happen thereafter because politics is a game of numbers and it is like a cooperative society.

“Whatever you bring as an investment when dividends are going to be shared, you will get proportionate with your investment and your investment in politics is what you bring to the table and I urge the Southeast to look at this matter seriously that every time we have a presidency in Nigeria, it is negotiated in several ways. Either negotiated by votes or what you bring to the table and you must negotiate from the position of strength.

“You can’t negotiate from the point of weakness and I believe that that message resonated with the people and their response now is attributable to the fact that even before the flag-off of the campaigns, we have laid it bare on the table for Southeastern states to consider the prospect of working with us to ensure that at least by the time President Buhari finishes his second tenure, they can make a shot at the presidency depending on what they bring to the table.”

He also said the visit was remarkable.

“It has corrected the impression that the federal government was not doing anything for the people of the zone,” he said.

“We received very high powered delegation today led by the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, and three of their governors and a deputy governor with the DG of the Forum of the Southeast Governors. I think it is a remarkable visit because they came essentially to thank Mr. President over the major activities that have taken place in the Southeast.

“They appreciate the fact that the second Niger Bridge was a paper issue in the last five, six decades. They are convinced that the decision to complete the Niger Bridge is real, contract has been awarded by this government for N206 billion of investment and the road networks and other things we are doing in the southeast, it is a mark of appreciation for the leadership that President Muhammadu Buhari is providing for this country

“The south-east is an integral part of this country. It must be accorded its appropriate place in the scheme of things and we believe strongly that this particular government has extended its hands of friendship to the south-eastern states and by the efforts that have been put in place to ensure infrastructural development and integration.”

Why is he Begging the Igbos to endorse A failure like Buhari.

The Igbos we all know, will never ever endorse or Vote an Islamic fanatic like Buhari , that's the bitter truth .

Igbos don't care about the Presidency , so they can keep it .


Igbo Amaka

Box of evil.

Keep your presidency.

Keep your presidency.

We have our sights on something far greater than ruling this sheethole

highcollide:
Keep your presidency.

An ordinary SGF is promising us presidency

Go tell that to hopeless zombies

As for the wise men from the East

We will never reinforce failure

Bleep You idiot I can only support a leader that can grow the economy not a lifeless one like Trump noted Nigerians Don suffer shaa Nigerian leaders should be jailed for promoting Tribalism

Fvck you Mr Mustapha ... if getting the prrsidency means the poverty, illiteracy etc level we see today in the North, let power remain with its negative baggages in North. We only want out of the union with cow bongers. QED!

Scam ALERT!!!!

Fashola is singing the same song to my people in southwest........


APC is deficient of Honesty and Integrity.

IS THIS A THREAT OR WHAT?

Just hear the rubbish this demented fool is spewing out.
The south east can never vote for lifeless people

So after Fashola's confession and the previous baiting of a 2023 presidency, the APC still have guts to throw this gabbage before the SE?

We don't associated or endorse failure because of political expediency or survival & crave that other regions do like wise.Abeg where is Rochas,Ogbonnaya Onu, Ngige, Osita Okechukwu, Ken Nnamani, Igbo-Defender and other asslickers of this shitcrap?

Retain the presidency as you so wish but lets restructure or have a referendum in Nigeria.Stupid people.

madridguy:
IS THIS A THREAT OR WHAT?

Think man! The answer is not far fetched-SCAM!!! Another next level lies & propaganda.

We prefer good governance and Buhari cannot deliver good governance even if his life depended on it.

If only the Igbos would unite and form a major, DIDCIPLINED, SUPERIOR, political force within themselves in and out of Nigeria, no one will tout this USELESS PRESIDENTIAL MANDATE in their faces, just to such some FILTHY, Afenifere-Arewa CO-CKS I swear.

But too many sell-outs like Ngige and Okorocha to make it possible.

Only political prostitutes would tout this presidential carrot around the Igbos.

Does it mean the Igbos are nothing without a presidential seat?

All the useless presidents from the other geopolitical zones have shown what to Nigerians or the world?

madridguy:
IS THIS A THREAT OR WHAT?

Let's better face the truth. neither the SW nor SE will become president in 2023

If they had performed well there wouldn't be a need to start begging or cajoling people here and there to vote for them there work would have spoken up for them but as it is now they don't have anything to show and am not sure there is going to be any changes if they win the next 4years

But Fashola is telling Yorubas the same thing. whom do we believe? confused APC.

Ahap.

Even if the cowardly Supririm Abiama from Cameroon living in Israel endorses him, the earliest they can smell that place is 2031. Even they themselves know this.

Look at this idiot. Keep your presidency fool

I don't expect the igbos to fall for this "threat like talk"


Tinubu is still supporting Buhari because he has eye in being the president in 2023 (Not possible though), so I will be very surprise if they fall for this obvious scam.

Is very simple as abc115.

Yeye people

buhariguy:

Nigerians will resist Any form of rigging in 2019

OUR GREAT PARTY APC HAVE SHED SO MUCH INNOCENT BLOOD. ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE LIKE THIS

IM A CARD CARRYING APC MEMBER BUT ITS TIME TO CALL A SPADE A SPADE. COME 2019 I AND MY FAMILY MUST ATIKULATE

Anybody notice how Buhari and his evil supporters have turned presidential campaign about tribalism than performance

Corrinthians:
Ahap.

Even if the cowardly Supririm Abiama from Cameroon living in Israel endorses him, the earliest they can smell that place is 2031. Even they themselves know this.

Obasanjo who was given presidency to compensate Yoruba over June 12 remains the last Yoruba President. You can take this to the bank

But the 5% vote means nothing now

SCAM. Run when you hear a junior bigot relaying the message of a senior bigot. No shame. Nigerian project is now a cooperative. One day, the cheated will say "I no do again". It will be labeled as treason. We never learn. Unity please, as we atikulate.

Who is in charge of sharing this presidency to the zones. Fashola told southwest to vote buhari and get presidency in 2023, now Boss Mustafa is promising same to the southeast.
Let the man sharing it come forth so we can hear from the main kingpin.
