ALL Progressives Congress (APC) has
expressed disappointment that Nigerians
condemn, rather than praise President
Muhammadu Buhari’s frequent overseas
trips.

Speaking through its National Auditor,
George Moghalu, the party dismissed the
allegation as “most unfair and uncharitable
to a man of that age and status.”

APC insisted Buhari has not transformed
from his previous austere life to a
flamboyant one and insisted that he still
remains the same person Nigerians knew in
the past.

However, reacting to the allegations
insinuations in a chat with Daily Sun at the
headquarters of the ruling party, Moghalu
reiterated that Buhari has not abandoned
his austere lifestyle.

“What evidence do they have as proof other
than speculations in the social media? Why
should any responsible person believe
everything he sees and reads in the social
media?
“This allegation is most unfair and most
uncharitable of a man of that age and of
that status.

“Everything and every attempt made to
smear his image has not been possible
because it is not something he is pretending
to do but himself.
“He is decent, responsible and
incorruptible.

“This is a man that has occupied every
office you can consider lucrative in
Nigeria; he has been governor, minister of
Petroleum Resources, General Officer
Commanding (GOC), chairman of Petroleum
Task Force (PTF) when its budget was more
than 20 states put together.

“He has been Head of State and
Commander-in- Chief of the Armed Forces
yet, he is still modest.

Is it now when he has even grown older and
more matured that he will change?” he
queried.

The APC chieftain also debunked the
negative impression about Buhari’s
frequent trips outside the country and
strssed that the president rather deserved
commendations for traveling frequently at
his age.

“The stage where Nigeria was before
President Buhari took over was such that he
needed to travel. There were situations and
cases where he needed a personal touch not
about somebody representing him.

“We were practically becoming a pariah
state that he needs to be physically there to
negotiate.

“He will bring to bear his credibility, his
maturity and his status.

“He needs to put it on the table to ensure
that the people we are dealing with will take
Nigeria more seriously.

“President Buhari needs to travel for the
benefit of this country and I commend him
that at his age he is sacrificing for the
benefit of and love he has for this country,”
Moghalu rounded off..

UMUAHIA - THE Buhari South East Youth Movement [BSEYM] has accused the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] of working against the emergence of President of Igbo extraction.

According to the group, by its recent zoning, PDP has
automatically ruled out the possibility an Igbo man becoming the President of Nigeria, saying that singular act has shown that the party does not regard Ndigbo.

BSEYM, in a statement therefore called on Ndigbo, especially the youths and women, to reject PDP, which it alleged “has greatly improvised the zone in their 16 years of misrule”.

The group urged South members of the party to withdraw their membership of the party in totality, claiming that the party has nothing good for them.

In the statement jointly signed by BSEYM’s director general Engr. Nwabueze Onwuneme and the publicity secretary, Comrade Igwe Samuel Obinna, it said PDP’s zoning of the Presidency to the North ahead of 2019 “goes to show the disdain the PDP has for the people of the zone”.

The statement further said that the zoning “seriously goes against the spirit of justice, fairness and equity in the rotation of power between the North and South”.

According to the group, “peradventure the PDP succeeds, it will extend the Igbo Presidency project to year 2027 from the earlier year 2023 been projected for the emergence of a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction, which would now leave the North there for twelve years as against eight years been projected by the APC”.

Urging Ndigbo to reject PDP, the group noted that “by the end of President Muhammad Buhari’s second tenure it will then be ripe for the Igbos as the only ethnic nationality in southern Nigeria yet to produce an elected President after both the South-west and south-south have all had their shots on the Presidency of the nation”.
