Igbo’s Would Be Major Beneficiaries of Buhari’s Re-Election –VON DG

The Director-General of Voice of Nigeria, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, has said Ndigbo will be the major beneficiaries of President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term in office.The apex socio-political body of the Igbo, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, had, in a recent statement, said it was only interested in restructuring, and had not taken any decision on the 2019 elections.
Speaking in Enugu on Sunday, Okechukwu, a member of the All Progressives Congress, advised the Igbo to back Buhari for a second term, as, according to him, restructuring was already on the agenda of the Buhari-led Federal Government.
The VON boss added that the Igbo should support Buhari’s second term bid in order to have a chance of producing his (Buhari’s) successor in 2023.
Although the President had yet to declare his intention to go for another term, Okechukwu explained that Buhari would seek re-election.
