Buhari’s re -election will bring more development – VON DG


The Director General of Voice of Nigeria (VON), Mr Osita Okechukwu has said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s re- election would guarantee uninterrupted development in the country.  .

Okechukwu who is hopeful that the re-election of Buhari would engender more development, condemned some organizations in the South -east that adopted the candidate of the  Peoples Democratic party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in the  election, insisting that it was the case of putting the Igbo votes nearly into one basket.

Speaking in Enugu during a party organised by the Buhari Support Organisation/Zikist Buharist Movement to celebrate the expected victory of  Buhari in the polls, he said that the president’s victory would provide a lifeline to ongoing development of critical infrastructure, such as roads, rail and massive investment in agriculture, geared towards diversification of the country’s economic base.

Okechukwu maintained that Buhari’s administration embarked on provision of additional 5,000 megawatts of electricity, 5,000 kilometers of federal roads and 5,000 kilometers standard gauge rail lines of critical infrastructure shortly after he assumed office in 2015, not minding the economic downturn.

He  blamed the poor performance of Buhari in the South -east on what he described as bigotry orchestrated by the  Chief Nnia Nwodo faction of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) who deceived the people with Atiku’s restructuring gimmick.
