Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Musatpha, has said that 2019 will determine the future of the Igbo people in Nigeria.
According to him, the South East had the right to rule Nigeria because they were part and parcel of the nation.
Speaking at First leg of the South East rally for President Muhammadu Buhari, he said that Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) would support the region when the need arises.
“The South East will overtake others after 2019,’’ he assured the people.
“Buhari is a man of compassion and good heart and the people of South East know that Buhari would do more for them if given the support in 2019.
“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.’’
He urged Igbo people to use their entrepreneurial skills and strength to galvanise support for Buhari in 2019.
“The choice is that of the Igbo nation. What happens in 2019 will determine the future of the region and you can bet on the support of Buhari.’’
“Buhari is a honest and Godly man, not tribal bigot but a man with vision for Nigeria. He explained that there were 18 Christian and 18 Muslim ministers,” he added.
Mustapha explained that powerful positions were conceded to the Christians, such as the SGF, Head of Service, CBN governor, Finance minister, oil minister, trade and industry as well as Vice President.
“Never in the history of Nigeria that we will have SGF and Head of Service as Christians. What else do we want?
“I see all manners of people aspiring to be President of Nigeria. Nigeria is not a banana country. It requires strong and serious leadership like Buhari.
“Some of these aspirants cannot deliver up to 500 votes in their constituencies.
“This is the time for your decision,’’ he told the crowd.
