The Director General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON) and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Osita Okechukwu, has stated that the 2019 presidential election will be peaceful and less crisis-prone, contrary to the apprehension in some quarters.

Speaking to a students’ group who came to express support for the re-election bid of President Muhammadu Buhari, the VON DG said the two leading presidential candidates share a lot in common to discourage anybody from precipitating ethnic or religious crisis.


For instance, Okechukwu, said that both President Buhari and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar are both Muslims and of the same Fulani ethnic stock, adding that their campaigns cannot possibly throw up ethnic-based sentiment or tussle.

Okechukwu who spoke against background of fears and predictions of a possible conflict during next year’s elections, noted that most of the negative indices that usually trigger crisis during elections in the country are absent.

He, therefore, urged Nigerians to discountenance the predictions that next year’s general elections might be violent, saying that a lot of indices point to the contrary.

He said: “The two leading contenders, President Buhari and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar are both Muslims and Fulanis. So, the issue of ethnic card is cancelled; the issue of religion is also cancelled.

“In a society like ours, we feel that the possibility of crisis is now minimised. So, when you take the religious and ethnic issues out of the way, and the other issue is about their age and both of them are septunagenarians. Nobody can even talk about the young and old; so, three cards have been cancelled,” he said.

While justifying his support for the re-election of President Buhari, Okechukwu said he has achieved a lot within a short period of time.

“The battle is between President Muhammadu Buhari who frowns seriously against looting of public funds and those who cherish the local slogan, ‘Share the Money. Our common denominator is that Buhari is a man of uncommon integrity quotient. As a result, none of his challengers doubted his integrity quotient throughout his over five decades of public service career,” he said.

Earlier, the students group made up of representatives from universities in the six geopolitical zones in country, said their aim was not just to support Buhari but to secure the future of young Nigerians.

Really, after Peter Obi defeated the incumbent VP on your platform polls

We all know PMB won't give room for violence. PMB till 2023

The only place where there may be crisis is the north if Atiku win, because the core northerners see PMB as more of them than Atiku, some of them see Atiku as a thief ,non Muslim , a greedy person that is only take care of the elites ,some that have some love for him in that area don't like his VP ,the statement Peter Obi made that is been celebrated by people on the social media by allowing you shop to be open to thieves have increased the level of dislike for him from the masses in the core north ,they believed if will run the government in favour of the thieves . But here in the south west anyone can win we have no problem only my brother from the SS and SE also want Atiku by all means .

The battle is between President Muhammadu Buhari who frowns seriously against looting of public funds and those who cherish the local slogan, ‘Share the Money. Our common denominator is that Buhari is a man of uncommon integrity quotient. As a result, none of his challengers doubted his integrity quotient throughout his over five decades of public service career,” he said

Who announced the winner? Peter Obinna that rolled out unverified stats and lies to buttress his points. What manner of vice presidential candidate is that?. No serious mention of the fight against corruption. Dealing with insecurity. I wonder for some people o. The prof in my own view, won it squarely

You guys probably have another meaning for “defeated” .
Peter Obi “defeated” the VP the same way Jonathief “defeated” Buhari in 2015 . Right?
The same way Ojuku defeated Nigeria army many years ago .
And the same way Nnamdi Kanu defeated Nigeria army too.
I completely understand you now .

Ordinary local government election in plateeau cost the life and properties of people because APC refused to accept defect.... 2019 election will be the worst in Nigeria history.

So Because Peter obi came and fed lazy people like you who don't research with fake and unsubstantiated statistics, you now said he won the debate? It's a pity.

So "dog and baboon" won't "soak in blood"?

"Jubril" must truly be in charge.

Case would have been different if it was the other guy.

That Iberibe man should keep quiet!

TRUE CONFESSION from :

People have been asking how much we were paid to campaign for Buhari , We always deny the allegation. The new year is around the corner and we want to come clean.
Yes we were paid to campaign for Buhari 
Buhari himself paid us.
He paid us when he started completing abandoned projects, he paid us when he paid pensioners, he paid us when after 35 years of paper work he finally brought a train to Warri.
Yes he paid us to campaign for him
He paid us when he allowed even those that curse him to access N-power and Tradermoni. He paid us when he prevented fuel marketers from going on strike that would have lead to untold hardship during the holiday period
He paid us, and handsomely too. 
For more of these payments we and every sane, honest and hardworking Nigerians are voting for PMB come 2019.
PMB 2019!!!

Trash!!!
