Okorocha said this in a statement
issued on Sunday to congratulate Buhari on his 75th birthday.
The governor said Buhari became
president at a time when the country was on the verge “of being grounded”.
He said the vote the president
would get in the 2019 election would be double of what he garnered in the 2015
election.
“The governor described president
Buhari as the man God had used to save the country from total collapse,” the
statement by Sam Onwuemeodo, the governor’s chief press secretary, read.
“At the time Buhari became
president, the nation was at the verge of being grounded unknown to some people
and then thanked God for his grace upon the land, called Nigeria.
“In 2019 the votes the president
will get for his second tenure will be two times more than the votes he got in
2015 because most Nigerians have come to appreciate the necessity of his coming
and what he is doing with the office.
“In 2019 too, most of the
political parties will not sponsor presidential candidates including some of
the big parties to enable them support Buhari presidency, and to enable the
President finish the good works he has begun and also lay a very solid
foundation for those coming after him.”
