Buhari has nothing to offer –Mu’azu

National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Adamu Mu’azu, has declared that achievements of Presi­dent Goodluck Jonathan would earn him victory in the Southeast in the coming presidential elec­tion.

Mu’azu made the dec­laration against the back­ground of the admoni­tion of his counterpart in the All Progressives Congress (APC), Odigie Oyegun, saying that the Igbo should not shut their minds against General Muhammadu Buhari, the party’s presidential can­didate. Oyegun spoke in Abuja when Buhari met with select Igbo leaders in the North to solicit for their support.

But Mu’azu in a state­ment made available to newsmen at the weekend reeled out the achieve­ments of the Jonathan ad­ministration and the feder­al projects in the Southeast zone which, he noted, have endeared the PDP presidential candidate to the people of the zone.

Mu’azu said: “The APC has no chance of winning votes in Igboland despite the mind games of the APC Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun’s who chided Igbo chiefs for adopting President Jona­than in next week’s Presi­dential elections.

The Igbo know what they want and how to go about getting it and don’t need a lecture from the opposition party leader on how to go about their po­litical life.”

“The Igbo people in their wisdom know that a bird in hand is far better than hundreds in the bush. Since 1999, the Igbo have supported the PDP, it’s their party and they have their stake in it.

The APC and their pro­paganda is not their piece of cake and they know it will not work for them.

The government of Okorocha that forced it­self like a military coup on Igbo will soon be rooted out of the land of the ris­ing sun by Emeka Ihedio­ha’s political machine of the PDP,” Muazu added.

Citing some achieve­ments of the PDP adminis­tration, he said: “Under the Jonathan administration, the second Niger Bridge is on the way and the Onitsha port complex is becoming a reality, while the Niger River is being dredged. President Jona­than has pledged to give roads in the Southeast a face lift and the evidence is there to show.

What the Igbo need is a caring government that gives them support to do their business and not promises that will never be realized.

The people of the Southeast want a govern­ment they can trust and not castle builders in the air which the APC is all about..
