In a statement on Saturday, PDP's national chairman Adamu Mu’azu has described the southeast of Nigeria as a “no-go area” for the opposition party All Progressives Congress (APC). According to him , APC has no chance of winning votes in Igboland despite the mind games of John Oyegun, national chairman of the opposition party who chided Igbo chiefs for adopting President Goodluck Jonathan in the presidential election. “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.
Quote
“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 Igbos will soon be rooted out of the land of the rising sun by Emeka Ihedioha’s barnstorming political machine of the PDP. “Therefore, the Igbo people know where their bread is buttered and don’t need a lecture from the APC leader to tell them how to play their politics. The southeast is a no go area for the opposition and their so-called progressive politics. Where was Oyegun when the Igbo, through the NCNC, formed the federal government with the NPC in the First Republic and with NPN and NPP in the second republic? The APC attempts to win Igbo hearts in the 2015 elections has come to naught and no amount of Oyegunspeak will change anything. “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 realised. The people of the southeast want a government they can trust and not castle builders in the air, which the APC is all about , ”
he said in the statement .

That is every year promise and we say no, that enough is enough. PDP has promise Igbos that he will do this and that since 16 years but it is all lies. Buhari is the man of people and he we will vote

GEJ has done nothing for the east, and Nigeria as whole. We need a learder, that knows corruption is destroying Nigeria, not One that says looting is not stealing. Vote wisely and kick out the money sharing leader.

Forget tribalism and cast ur vote for Buhari bcos nothing good will come out from Jonathan bcos Jonathan is there for 6yrs without good result he can’t do anything for the next 4yrs , if Jonathan is a good man he could have do something for the past 6yrs. Jonathan is spending much money now for people to vote him, and after that he need to recover those money back, Jonathan can’t do anything that will benefit Nigerians. For me I want people to vote BUHARI
