ONITSHA, Anambra – Oil magnet Prince  Arthur Eze has  urged  Ndi-Igbo and the South East to maintain their alliance with the North by supporting Atiku Abubakar.

He  also called for more support for the presidential candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party PDP , Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, stating that his administration would be more beneficial  to  South East.

Arthur Eze made the call  in Ogidi, Anambra State on Friday evening during a solidarity visit to the Director General of the Atiku-Okowa campaign council in the state, Prof. Obiora Okonkwo.

Speaking to journalists after a closed-door meeting with Obiora Okonkwo and some   select stakeholders, Eze said Igbo are better with Atiku Abubakar than any other person.

Prince Eze  noted that  long-standing alliance between the North and the South East has always produced many political benefits to the south east region.

“I have known Atiku Abubakar to be an honest man, liberal, and a pan-Nigerian who aspires best for the nation, and he is committed to the renaissance of ndi-Igbo.”

“He has demonstrated his huge love and concern for us ndi-Igbo by continuously choosing an Igbo man to be his running mate since 2007 when he picked Senator Ben Ndi Obi; again in 2019 when he picked Peter Obi; and now, Ifeanyi Okowa, an Igbo man from Delta State. He was willing to drop his ambition if the ticket was micro-zoned to the southeast; only Atiku Abubakar agreed to such terms.”

“It is apparent that with him as President of Nigeria, power is shifting to the southeast, and he will undoubtedly keep all of his promises.”

“My appeal is for our people to seize the opportunity provided by Atiku Abubakar to renew the age-old alliance between the southeast and the north, which saw Nnamdi Azikiwe become President of Nigeria in the first republic and Alex Ekwueme serve as Vice President, while Edwin Ume-ezeoke was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives in the second republic. We have accomplished far more in this country’s politics through our alliance with the north, and in order to bargain for a Nigerian president of southeast origin, we must maintain that partnership through Atiku.”

According to him, Atiku Abubakar,  would deliver on his promise of restructuring the country and ensures that a southeasterner succeeds him as president.

He urged  Igbo leaders in the diaspora and in Nigeria to carry Atiku Abubakar’s Rescue and Recovery agenda to the grassroots and throughout Nigeria, where Ndi-Igbo live and do business.

Also speaking, the Director General of the Atiku-Okowa Campaign in Anambra State  Obiora Okonkwo commended Arthur Eze  for his unwavering support for the Atiku project and his numerous advocacy efforts, which have made inexplicable impact on the southeast and ndi-Igbo in particular.

He  reaffirmed the Atiku-Okowa campaign’s commitment to mobilize majority votes for Atiku-Okowa in Anambra State.
