Addressing All Progressives Congress (APC) faithful in Igboeze south local government area, the minister said that the president was laying a solid economic base for the country.

He said that the current economic challenges were as a result of the failures of successive administrations.

“Buhari is a good man; he is incorruptible. He wants to change the economy so that Nigerians will lead a better life. If you want a solid foundation for this country, vote for Buhari,” he said.

Onyeama assured the people of the area that his political structure, Kwusike family’ would put measures in place to lift the people from poverty.

He said that the structure was formed to transform rural communities. “We do not want to be like other politicians that only come to the electorate during elections,” Onyeama said.

A chieftain of the party in Igboeze south, Chinedu Okosisi, said that the president had displayed strength of character in the administration of the country.

Okosisi, however, said that it was sad that the president had been maligned by those who did not mean well for the country.

“We are here to market the candidacy of Buhari and to make the records straight. We have to mobilise support for the re-election of the president and other candidates of the party,” he said.

He said that in spite of the seeming difficulty in the country occasioned by previous administrations, “the reconstruction of the Nigerian economy is yielding results.”

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Onyeama said the southeast had a better deal in the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari in the February 16 presidential election.

Buhari was in Enugu on Thursday, January 24, in continuation of his campaign tour. A statement made available to newsmen on Wednesday, January 23, in Enugu by the special assistant on media to the minister, Sarah Sanda, said the president enjoys massive support in the area.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
