The Presidential
campaign train of the All Progressive’s Congress (APC) moved on Friday
January 9, 2015, to Ebonyi and Abia states – with the candidate, General
Muhammadu Buhari.
The campaign which kicked off on Tuesday 6 January at the Adokiye
Amieseimaka Stadium, Igwuritali-Ali in Ikwerre Local Government Area of
Rivers State, led by APC Presidential Candidate, Buhari and his running
mate Professor Yemi Osinbajo, has continued full speed onto the states
of Cross River, Imo, Delta, Edo and Bayelsa through the course of the
week.
The delegation arrived at Aba in Abia State, where a rally was held.
Speaking at the event in Aba, the first Executive Governor of Abia State, Ogbonnaya Onu, stressed to the crowd the importance of voting in the APC to bring about positive change in the state and country as a whole. “We cannot afford to put all our eggs in one basket,” he said, going on to describe the PDP as “a doctor that has been unable to treat an infection for 16 years.”
The event which
was anchored by Honourable Abike Dabiri-Erewa, featured speeches from
many other dignitaries such as former governor of Anambra State, Dr.
Chris Ngige, Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, and APC National
Chairman, John Oyegun.
Presidential Candidate Muhammadu Buhari also made known his commitment
towards provision of infrastructure, particularly power, in order to
rejuvenate the economy of Aba.
Meanwhile General Buhari paid a courtesy visit to HR Majesty Ezei A
Ikonne Enyi of Aba who named him as Muhammadu Okechukwu Buhari and also
conferred the title Ogbuagu 1 (the Lion-Killer) of Aba on him.
Also present at the rally was Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, who
took to the stage, describing the Presidential candidate Muhammadu
Buhari as “an enemy to those who steal government money.”
