Patriotic Forum (IPF) has congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) on his victory in the last Saturday’s Presidential
and National Assembly poll, describing the President's re-election as an
opportunity for Nigerians to witness more infrastructural development across
the country.
While
acknowledging the achievements of the federal government thus far, spokesman of
IPF, Mazi Anthony Anyim called on other Nigeria leaders to join hands with
President Buhari in advancing the cause of Nigeria.
He
urged the leadership of the APC to zone the position of Senate Presidency to
the South East, adding that Ndigbo had been marginalized by previous
administrations.
In
a statement issued on Friday, the IPF called on Igbo sons and daughters to
support the President Buhari-led government, stressing that the future of
Nigeria is bright under the current administration.
He
said, "with the results of the February 23, 2019 presidential and national
assembly elections, it is glaring that President Buhari is popular and well
accepted by the people regardless of party affiliation and that the votes
polled by the President in the 2019 election in the South East is more than
what he scored in 2015.
"The
President has executed numerous projects in the South East than previous
administrations, so, we appeal to the top echelon of the APC to consider the
South East for the position of senate President.
"The
President is from the North and the Vice President is from the West. "In
the spirit of patriotism, Ndigbo should be considered for Senate President and
collectively, all ethnic groups must work together for the sake of national
development"
Anyim
equally urged Ndigbo to take active part in national politics, noting that the
people of the South East have contributed immensely to the economic development
of Nigeria.
