The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr.Boss Mustapha, has advised the people of the South-East to vote enmass for President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 so as to increase their chances of producing the president at the end of Buhari’s expected second tenure.
Mr. Mustapha stated this on Tuesday while representing President Buhari at the All Progressives Congress (APC) South-East Mega Rally which held in Owerri, Imo state capital.
Addressing the crowd, Mr. Mustapha said: “The people of the south-east have the right to make a claim to the rulership of this country”.
“2019 will make or mar the aspiration of Igbo nation. I am calling on the Igbo to make a paradigm shift and think seriously of their position.
“The presidency of Nigeria is negotiable and can only be done on position of strength and the strength of the Igbo will be determined by 2019 support for Buhari.
“You are important in this nation, you control industries, you control trade and commerce, you control every process of our entrepreneurship. I appeal to you, the skills you’ve used in the past to be prominent in this area, bring it to bear in the political arena so that you can navigate your way to the presidency of this country after the second tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari.”
