The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), General Muhammadu Buhari, has appealed to the Igbo community in
the north and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, to support his
efforts to rescue Nigeria from economic collapse.
Addressing leaders of the Igbo community in Abuja on Friday, General
Buhari said the rescue mission of the APC would be a success “if Nigeria
experiences free, fair and credible elections at all levels”.
General Buhari criticised the dwindling purchasing power of many
Nigerians saying the continuous impoverishment of many Nigerians does
not augur well for the nation.
The presidential election may be just a few days away, but the
presidential candidate of the APC has continued to seek the support of
Nigerians to win the elections.
General Buhari also bemoaned Nigeria’s economic situation.
The leader of the Igbo group asked Nigerians, who desire change to support General Buhari’s aspiration.
The chairman of Eze Udo in diaspora, Dr Uche Egenti, stressed the
need for politicians to advise their followers to shun violence, saying
“the Igbos are not prepared for another war”.
With a tone of finality, the APC National Chairman, Mr John Oyegun,
said he was optimistic that his party would win the presidential
election.
The APC meeting with leaders of the Igbos in the north and the FCT
was aimed at cementing the relationship between them and the
presidential candidate of APC in order to ensure peaceful elections.
Nigeria’s elections have been scheduled for march 28 and April 11.
