Rochas Okorocha, governor of Imo state, says all but two governors
in the country are in support of a second term for President Muhammadu Buhari.
Okorocha
said this while addressing leaders of the ‘Democratic Youths Congress for
Buhari 2019′, who visited him at the government house, Owerri on Tuesday.
He
urged every Nigerian to support Buhari for a second term, saying there is
no “better man for the job than Buhari”.
“President
Buhari is the best for the country at the moment and that there could not have
been a better option now,” he said.
‘’I
am a believer of Buhari and I made it clear years ago that if President Buhari
is running for president, I will not run.
“Now
God has chosen him to be the president of Nigeria and some of us are witnesses
that Buhari was and is still the best for Nigeria at this material time.”
Okorocha
also said that Nigeria’s quick exit from economic recession was a testament to
Buhari’s tenacity.
While
appealing to others to extend the same level of support, he said Buhari’s
second term would bring about enhanced unity and peace of Nigeria.
“Supporting
Buhari for a second tenure will bring about the new Nigeria we are talking
about. This will put Nigeria first and the unity we are looking for will be
guaranteed under this administration,” he said.
“Our
nation is going through a challenging moment and we will require a man of his
calibre to see us through this period.
“People
should not use the Anambra election result to judge the support for Buhari as
it does not reflect the support.
“Even
the government and people of Anambra support President Buhari, what happened
was that an internal disagreement among the leaders in APC in Anambra cost us
the election.”
