Rochas Okorocha, governor of Imo
state, has pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari to use his “magic hand” to
make Tony Nwoye governor of Anambra state.
Okorocha made this appeal on
Wednesday while speaking at the final rally of the All Progressives Congress in
Awka on Wednesday.
“Kogi is a young man, you made it
possible for him. Kebbi is a young man, Niger is a young man, Edo is a young
man, Katsina is our elder brother,” he said.
“The way you brought these
people, use that same hand of blessing, the magic hand of Buhari to give us
Tony Nwoye. I sat down to search out who you are and to define you but I can’t.
The way you turned around the economy of Nigeria, brought us out of recession,
use the same magic to give us Nwoye.
“It’s the same manner you went to
the hospital and everybody thought you were gone, you came back strong even
stronger than before, looking more handsome; give us Tony Nwoye. My president
my president, we look up to that day on Saturday when we can come back and
raise the hand of this young man.
“Then you’ll see the south-east,
the Orji Uzo Kalu, the Nwobodos, the Ken Nnamanis and your ministers, you have
people. The only one you should try and check for us, to try and see if you can
add something to his height is Ngige because with this height we have a
challenge.”
In his address, President
Muhammadu Buhari said he hopes the APC will bounce back and get Nwoye elected.
“I’m very impressed with the
organisation and the number of people who turned out. We are hoping that the
APC bounce back and get our governor elected next Saturday,” he said.
“I assure you if you study very
closely the budget of next year, we have earmarked and we are expecting the
national assembly to approve what we intend to do about infrastructure in the
south-east.”
The Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) is expected to conduct a governorship election in
the state on Saturday, November 18.
THIS MALLAM GOVERNOR? THEN ERECT BUHARI'S STATUE IN YOUR STATE TO CONVINCE HIM. YEYE GOVERNOR.
