See cognitive thinking, something that even Atiku can't say, imagine a rally with other Cupp candidate going for different positions in their respective state all what Atiku will say is vote for PDP and it's candidate to grow Nigeria as if Nigeria is not growing..see baba reasoned and Carry everyone along.

God bless PMB and all his supporters.

That's is very smart of a president, all parties in IMO state are behind Buhari including PDP so why endorsing one party. Buhari is a God sent.

You have ADD (attention deficit disorder)

AA (action alliance) and APC candidates have him as their presidential candidate and both parties had representation at the rally.

So Buhari cannot show bias since both parties are also vying for the same gubernatorial position.

Next time don't be a racoon and use your head
Does this make sense to you?
If he encourages AA members to vote their candidates and APC members to votes theirs, won't that amount to vote splitting thereby giving PDP or APGA an upper hand? Who does that?
If AA chooses to have him as their candidate, how does that matter? Did he beg for it? Is that why he can't confidently and categorically support his own party candidates?
All the while, they've been telling Nigerians not to vote for PDP both in that national and state elections. Why not henceforth tell Nigerians to vote any candidates of their choice?
Nonsense and ingredients!

A good father will not split his children

Buhari said from the start that he is for everybody and for nobody and that has not changed.

AA has for its guber candidate an offshoot of APC who is still APC at heart .

He cannot stand against his interest.

Uche Nwosu has shown to be steadfast despite moving to another party.

He deserves recognition by buhari and he got it with the unbiased posture of buhari

Buhari seems sympathetic to Rochas - Left to him, he would tell the crowd to vote for Rochas's candidate, Uche Nwosu.

Buhari, through history, hardly turns his back on his avow supporter. Whether the supporter is misbehaving, Buhari will keep defending the person.

His heart seems to still be with Rochas for all the support the man gave him in the South East when Rochas was undisputedly, the mouth piece of Buhari in the South East.

Rochas was flying with Buhari in presidential jet up and down and seems to enjoy the comfort and confidence of Mr. President before Oshimole came and scattered the whole thing.

The Presidency on Wednesday gave reasons why President Muhammadu Buhari did not seek support for the All Progressives Congress candidates during the party’s rally held in Owerri, Imo State, on Tuesday.

It said the President addressed a mixed crowd of voters across political parties, who were united in endorsing his re-election, despite having their local candidates for other positions.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, while speaking to journalists, explained that in such a mixed crowd, the President could not speak of support for the APC candidates alone but must talk about all the parties.

Shehu noted that this did not mean that the President did not want the APC candidates to win elections in Imo State, saying that Buhari was solidly behind his party’s candidates.

“The massive crowd that gathered to welcome President Buhari in Imo State was made up of not only supporters of the APC in the state, but also supporters of other parties who are united by their love for the President and their desire to see him re-elected, despite the local candidates they support,” Shehu told reporters.
The Presidency added that in the circumstances he found himself in Imo, the President could only advise the people who turned out to receive him to vote according to their conscience.

“While President Buhari is fully behind the APC, he welcomes endorsements from those who do not belong to the ruling party but is also sensitive to their support for non-APC candidates at the local level.

“It would have been insensitive of him to offend his non-APC supporters by ignoring their local affiliations,” Shehu stated.

He said by raising the hand of Senator Hope Uzodinma, the APC governorship candidate in Imo State, at the rally, Buhari had shown where his preference was and this did not call for a debate.

Shehu added, “President Buhari is for the APC in every state and there is no doubt about that, despite the immense cross-party support he is enjoying.”

Recall that while addressing the rally, Buhari did not mince word in urging the crowd to “vote for candidates of your choice across parties” to the chagrin of the APC members.
The people reacted by cheering and clapping for the President.

Governor Rochas Okorocha, who does not support Uzodinma’s governorship bid, joined in the cheering.

When the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, realised the President’s error, he was seen trying to whisper to Buhari to make a correction.

The President then responded by telling the crowd again to vote for the APC candidates.
There is a big crack in the Imo APC, threatening its electoral fortunes next month.

While Okorocha wanted his son in-law, Uche Nwosu, to be the APC governorship candidate, the National Working Committee of the party endorsed the primaries conducted by the Uzodinma faction.

In December 2018, Nwosu, with the support of Okorocha, defected to the Action Alliance and became the party’s governorship candidate.

However, both the Okorocha group and the Uzodinma faction said they would vote for Buhari on February 16.

Lies from the pit of hell.


In Imo state, President Buhari had only two crowds made up of:


1) crowd mainly of Owerri boys which wants Third term for Okorocha by proxy of his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu;

2) larger crowd of APC which supports the APC candidates led by Hope Uzodima in Imo state.

You should rather use your head. If a party is desperate to win a state, they should put all hands on deck to make that happen.

Well, APC is a useless party sef otherwise there's no way the party chairman would be insulting their governor during party rally, praying against him and the candidate he's supporting, while the president is supporting the same people. Buhari is only supporting them because they are supporting his 2nd term bid. It's the same way he is romancing all the former PDP guys that defected to APC with several corruption charges simply because they are supporting him now. Buhari lacks principle.

Anyway, neither APC nor AA will win in Imo, so why should I be concerned?

Which stupid "I'm for everybody and for nobody"? Did you just repeat that irritating lie? In this Northernocracy that Buhari is practicing, you still say that? Even Buhari cannot open his mouth and repeat that nonsense now, cos it's an outright lie.

Abeg comot joor.

STFU... AA had since adopted Atiku since they don't have a presidential candidate...
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/01/okorochas-party-dumps-buhari-adopts-atiku/amp/

The dullard made that statement just to please Rochas and his son-in-law. He should have told Imo people to vote for the APC governortorial candidate. But he feared the reaction of Rochas.
If your president can fear a clown like Rochas, then he will definitely worship the powerful men in the cabal.

AA is with Buhari.

Whose picture is on their campaign banner?

PMB has his way of always proving how selfish he's been; a reflection of his polarized appointments towards his tribe/religion, as well as disregards to others. Nigeria needs a detribalized and selfless 'Leader' and not a selfish and extremely polarized 'ruler'.
