SGF to Igbo: Endorse Buhari now, get presidency in 2023

Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the federation, has asked the south-east to endorse President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid in order to secure the presidency in 2023.

Mustapha was speaking to journalists after the meeting between Buhari and the south-east governors at the presidential villa on Wednesday.

On whether Buhari used the opportunity to solicit the votes of the south-east, Mustapha said: “This obviously might not be most appropriate time. You remember there was a programme in the south-east where Mr. President asked me to represent him and I flew the kite by telling the south-eastern states that their quickest and easiest means to presidency is to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term.
