Why South East should repay Buhari with massive registration for APC – Andy Uba

 

ONITSHA, Anambra, Nigeria – Former senator representing  Anambra south senatorial  district  and governorship aspirant  in Anambra state  2021 on platform of All Progressive congress( APC) , Senator   Andy Uba  has carpeted  People Democratic  Party( PDP)   for criticizing president Muhammadu Buhari on projects across the country.

Uba said that Buhari  has demonstrated    more  commitment to the development of the country more than any other government  since 1999. Senator Uba   on Sunday, while addressing  his supporters in Uga, Aguata  Local  Government Area  of the state said that south east should  be grateful and  show more  appreciations to the president for his  numerous projects  in the zone .

According to him, Buhari is the only president in the county who has given the south east a sense of belonging and adequate attention in facilities  and development over the years .

” Buhari is the only president that makes a promise and keeps to it. Look at the second Niger Bridge that has been used for politics over the years. But he said he will  complete it and  he  had invested huge money to it. Same with Enugu-Onitsha road. He is not into political maneuvering. He doesn’t lie. That is  why he is a man of few words. One statement he makes means a lot.

“I will continue to relate with him and love him  because I know what he can do” he said. He said the south east should reciprocate   the president gesture by massively registering with the All Progressive Congress APC .

” People want to know why I support Buhari and I told them that he is the only president who has demonstrated love and commitment to the development of the south  east . He called on the Anambra people to come out enmass to register in the ongoing APC registration and revalidation exercise .

He also used the opportunity to appeal for those he offended to  forgive him, saying that nobody is above mistake.  According to him, the first thing is to register to ensure they participate in the primary, whether direct or indirect.  Uba regretted that people from other zones in the state have  been coming to the area and most people are being deceived to support them .

” It is painful to note that our place has remained the way it is because other contestants come here and gather all our votes and go. We have severally been accused of not voting for our own.  The results are there to show. Since Mbadinuju’s time till date, nobody has brought development to us. Yet, it is our vote they leverage to win.

Many of you have accused me for abandoning you. I have done many things. Just that I don’t make noise about it. I will reel out some of my achievements and the people I have empowered to shock most of you. My worry is that even those that benefitted from my empowerment will be part of those stabbing me at the back” he said

He said that ,unfortunately, it is the negative things in his government that’s being highlighted. According to him, those that achieve great feats hardly talk, just like me. He said that if they are united, nobody can defeat them  because they are scattered all over Anambra and Nigeria and commanding power.  He regretted  that there are several factions among the youths and if  they come together, nobody can come here to take our votes.

He urged the youths  to take his governorship  project as theirs and  not Andy Uba.  He said that he is a material that can be sold to any person for the greater Anambra state

“You have a material you can sell to anybody, both in the state and federal level. Obiano was so afraid of me in the last election that he insisted that I shouldn’t be given the ticket. In fact, he would  not have been the governor if I had been given the ticket” he said.
