This comes in the course of the party’s campaign across the country ahead of the highly-expected presidential election, which is to be held on March 28.
Rotimi Amaechi, Rivers state governor, was among those who headed to Imo capital for the South East zonal rally.
The recent post of Buhari’s official
Facebook page reads:
“Muhammadu Buhari received so much love in Owerri this morning. They know!”
Apparently, “they know” implies the outcome of the polls, which the APC expects to win.
Premium Times adds that the former military head of state was nicknamed “Okechukwu” in Owerri by Rochas Okorocha, Imo state governor.
Speaking at the venue, Dan Anyiam stadium, the governor praised Buhari for not tolerating corruption and prayed for the demise of the Peoples Democratic Party.
“May the soul of PDP rest in peace. May they never rise again.”
The APC candidate, on his part, thanked his supporters disclosing that it was his first time in Imo state.
“It is in our interest individually and collectively to vote PDP out.”
As for the recent updates on the forthcoming elections, it was reported earlier today that Lagos High Court had banned the Nigerian government from disposing soldiers to voting stations during the coming elections.
This comes amid fears that the polls might be accompanied by the acts of violence.
Many national and world leaders have tasked politicians and voters to maintain the peaceful character of the process. The US President Barack Obama on March 23, today, in his message to Nigerians insisted that this week’s elections should be free, fair, credible and violence free.
