The Director-General, All Progressives Congress, APC, National Campaign Council, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi has described the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as a liar.
Amaechi spoke in Enugu at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium during the APC presidential campaign rally.
DAILY POST reports that former Senate President, Chief Ken Nnamani, had at the same event declared that President Muhammadu Buhari is of sound mind.
Amaechi at the rally urged Ndigbo to ignore Atiku’s promise of restructuring as it was meant to deceive the people.
According to him “I have told Ndigbo that the best way to get restructuring is if you get power. If any person is promising you restructuring, he is a liar. If Atiku tells you he will do one term he is lying. ‘Power dey sweet.’
“The only path to Igbo presidency is to vote Buhari. It is your turn by 2023, very other zone has taken a turn.”
He promised Ndigbo that in the next Federal Executive Council meeting, a contract would be awarded for a railway project from Port-Harcourt to Markurdi.
Also speaking, the national chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole urged Ndigbo to vote for Buhari “to continue the good work he has started, the good works on the second Niger Bridge, the good work on the Southeast roads, among others.”
He described former President Olusegun Obasanjo as one without electoral value, stating that “Obasanjo never won any election in the Southwest; he has always rigged. It is only in Lagos that he was resisted. Those who are shouting robbers cannot divert out attention.”
He called on the people of the State to vote for all the party’s candidates, including the guber candidate in the State, Senator Ayogu Eze, National Assembly and those of State House of Assembly.
Earlier in his speech, Senator Eze assured President Buhari that he would get 90 percent votes in the State.
While asking the President to ignore those promising him 25 percent votes, he said that the people at the rally were not rented but were true APC members.
He declared that Buhari deserved re-election having provided the people with good roads and had pursued a good agricultural policy that had put food on the table of the masses.
He said such act should be reciprocated for National Assembly candidates of the party to avoid emergence of opposition members in the NASS who would become a cog in the wheel of progress.
