While noting that the goodwill enjoyed by the president at the wake of the 2015 elections have not wane, they stressed that their optimism was further awaken by Buhari’s achievement in office. They made particular reference to his fight against corruption, massive investment in infrastructural development and agriculture.

I was in Abuja for two and half weeks and I went into the villa to see a friend. He preached I stop attacking Buhari. I asked why I should support Buhari. His answer was that Igbos will go extinct if Buhari loses in 2019. I told him it’s better Buhari loses and Igbos go extinct!

Why’s APC holding a presidential primaries when there’s just one candidate? What options are you giving the voters?

If this can happen in one ward and we have 192 wards in Edo state. “You better imagine at the end of today, you will see a lot of people coming out to vote for Buhari. This is just a party matter.“It is raining yet people are coming out to vote. You can see for yourself. They have been here since 8 a.m waiting for this day to come,” he said.
