APC Supporters In Imo State Are Disappointed That Their Presidential Candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, Could Hardly Stand To Address Them For Two Minutes
Damian Duruiheoma, Owerri
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, General Muhammadu Buhari’s last minute campaign in Imo State proved disastrous for his ambition as the majority of the party faithful were disappointed with his inability to speak to them for up to two minutes. Buhari could hardly convince party supporters who had thronged the Dan Anyiam Stadium to hear him tell them the level he would take the country to if he emerged the president of the country. Rather, he spoke for less than two minutes, asking the people to reflect on the leadership of the country under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before leaving the stage, a development that attracted the ire of the party members.
“We didn’t know that they only brought us here to protest against the president of our country. They invited us as women leaders from our communities, that is why you could see hundreds of us. We thought we were coming for CGC seminar as they told us, we didn’t know we were called out to come and fight their own fight”
As party members showed their disapproval of Buhari, some of the several Women APC supporters, who were recruited to protest against President Goodluck Jonathan in Owerri, have told The UNION, that they were deceived by Governor Rochas Okorocha, to stage the protest. They said they were ferried to Owerri in the guise of attending a seminar only to be used to cause a blockade against the president. However, party members were of the view that it was Buhari’s weakness of the body that prevented him from speaking as other campaigners normally do, attributing it to health failure. Some of the APC followers at the stadium, who were led by a man who simply identified himself as Andrew Ibemere, said, “I’ve said it time without number that this man is not fit to lead us as president and has no business in government anymore.
For us, we will vote for President Goodluck Jonathan during the presidential election and Governor Rochas Okorocha for governorship election.” But reacting to the development, Director-General of Rochas Okorocha Campaign Organisation and state commissioner for Housing and Urban Development and Beautification, Iheukwumere Alaribe, attributed the development to a series of meetings which the APC presidential aspirant had in Anambra and Enugu States. “He has two other places to attend-Anambra and Enugu- and all these programmes had to be re-adjusted because of the time he had to spend in Abuja this morning in meetings. He is very healthy. “It’s not as if he could not speak to the people of the South East for longer minutes, but when he goes to Anambra, he is also going to speak to the people of the South East. “What he came to do here is just jamboree because he has had an opportunity of speaking with Igbo leaders from all works of life where he had heart-to-heart talk. “Let me tell you, it’s like chasing a woman, you don’t have to do that in the public. The most important things have been done in doors”, he said.
Meanwhile, information available to The UNION from Onitsha, Anambra State indicated that Buhari could not attend the South East Town Hall meeting due mainly to his failing health condition. He was said to have abruptly cancelled his scheduled appearance at the meeting Monday evening. A reliable party source told The UNION that the APC presidential candidate felt exhausted after attending the rally in Owerri hours earlier. According to the source, the senator representing Anambra central district, Sen. Chris Ngige, had to plead with the disappointed audience that the presidential candidate could not make it due to “conditions beyond Buhari’s control”. He said “I can tell you that the APC campaign activity in Owerri may have aggravated his condition”. Meanwhile, hundreds of women of Imo State loyal to the All Progressives Congress (APC), yesterday regretted that they were deceived and brought to Owerri, the state capital to protest against the coming of President Goodluck Jonathan to the state.
The women had stormed the chambers of the Imo State Council of Traditional Rulers, Owerri, to protest the use of the place by a faction of traditional rulers led by Eze Cletus Ilomuanya to receive the president, saying the place was a Women Development Centre where they were supposed to hold a seminar. They blocked the roads to the centre, a development that led to the police and the soldiers begging them to give way. But they insisted and stayed put. They were however chased out of the place by some policemen through the use of tear-gas canisters. But speaking with journalists, one of the women from Okigwe LGA, who was clutching her baby by her side, Mrs. Ngozi Anorue, said they were invited by the governor for a seminar at the centre. “But, we didn’t know that they only brought us here to protest against the president of our country. They invited us as women leaders from our communities, that is why you could see hundreds of us. We thought we were coming for CGC seminar as they told us, we didn’t know we were called out to come and fight their own fight. “Look my brother stop blaming me. Do I have any problem with President Jonathan? I don’t. So, why should I come and begin to protest against the president. In fact, most of us believe that we will vote for President Jonathan and later vote for Rochas. So we were deceived to protest against President Jonathan, ” she said.

Buhari has never spoken more than 3minutes in any campaign rally. Buhari did not come to Anambra state at all. Buhari is sick and Tinubu knows it.

Tinubu does not care about Buhari all he cares about is taken power from PDP. Even if GMB dies (GOD FORBID) after the election, Tinubu will not care. Buhari is being used because Tinubu has seen a high level of POWER MONGERING in him.

May GOD protect GMB to live and grow very old till 120years. Nobody can kill GMB. He will retire peacifuly in Daura from wednesday after the election on saturday.
