President Muhammed Buhari has called for massive support to Mr Tony Nwoye, APC’s governorship candidate as he joins the governorship rally in Anambra. He was in Akwa, capital of Anambra state, in continuation of his two-day visit to some states in South East. He called on the people of Anambra to vote Nwoye of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 18 election. Buhari who made the call in a short speech at the grand finale of the governorship rally held for the APC governorship candidate said Anambra people would benefit much if they voted for APC.
The president said aside Anambra, the other states in the South-East would equally gain as a lot of infrastructure have been earmarked for construction in the South-East in the next year’s budget. Buhari was accompanied by 12 APC governors who converged at Dr Alex Ekwueme’s Square, Awka via Nigeria Force aircraft mark NAF-540 at about 1.20 pm and departed about 5.25pm. The rally was attended by crowds of APC supporters as well as serving national and state lawmakers, ministers, former governors and litany of APC bigwigs.
Dr Chris Ngige, the Minister of Labour and Productivity, who spoke at the occasion said APC in Anambra was thorough in her choice of Nwoye and Dozie Ikedife candidates. Ngige who also hails from Anambra, noted that the massive crowd that took part in the rally was a sign that the party is on ground in Anambra. “We have toured the nook and carnies of the state during our campaign tour we are ready for the election and the people are behind APC. The other political parties also in this contest are only afraid because they have done nothing to show the people that their parties deserve the mandate of Anambra people again”, he said.
