Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, has
reitereated the presidency's promise to hand over power to the Igbos in
2023 if they support the second term ambition of President
Buhari. Mustapha stated this today when President Buhari met with a
delegation of South East leaders in the state house in Abuja. Speaking
to state house correspondents after the meeting, Mustapha said that the
fastest way for the Igbos to acqualize their dream of occupying the seat
of power, is for the region to support the Buhari re-election bid in
2019 and then by 2023, the Igbo presidency can now become a
reality.“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. Meaning that they can short
circuit the period in terms of only having him there for another four
years and whatever they do in 2019 will determine what will happen
thereafter because politics is a game of numbers and it is like a
cooperative society.“Whatever you bring as an investment when dividends
are going to be shared, you will get proportionate with your investment
and your investment in politics is what you bring to the table and I
urge the Southeast to look at this matter seriously that every time we
have a presidency in Nigeria, it is negotiated in several ways. Either
negotiated by votes or what you bring to the table and you must
negotiate from the position of strength.Speaking further, he saidYou
can’t negotiate from the point of weakness and I believe that that
message resonated with the people and their response now is attributable
to the fact that even before the flag-off of the campaigns, we have
laid it bare on the table for Southeastern states to consider the
prospect of working with us to ensure that at least by the time
President Buhari finishes his second tenure, they can make a shot at the
presidency depending on what they bring to the table'' he saidThe post Endorse Buhari now, get presidency in 2023- SGF Boss Mustapha tells IgbosEndorse Buhari now, get presidency in 2023- SGF Boss Mustapha tells Igbos
