| Muhammadu Buhari, APC presidential candidate |
By Uyoatta Eshiet, Uyo
The Southsouth and the Akwa Ibom chapters of the Buhari’s
Friends Organisation Network (BFON) have been launched in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom
State capital.
BFON’s national and state leadership used the occasion to
solicit the support of the Akwa Ibom residents for the All Progressives
Congress (APC) candidate in next month’s election, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking yesterday in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, at
the inauguration of BFON state chapter and the Southsouth zonal office, its
Grand Patron and former military governor of Ogun and Rivers states, Group
captain Sam Ewang (rtd) said the meeting was meant to promote the political
aspiration of Gen. Buhari.
He said it would also ensure that the former Head of State
got overwhelming votes for his victory.
Ewang, who contested the governorship primary on the
platform of APC and lost to Umana Okon Umana, assured that Gen. Buhari would
win convincingly in the Northeast, Northwest and Southwest.
The grand patron explained that it would be too sad, if he
lost in Akwa Ibom State.
He said: “I want every hand to be on deck to promote him in
Akwa Ibom State. Let me inform you that gen. Buhari is going to sweep the
entire Northeast, Northwest and Southwest. It will be too sad if he does not
win in Akwa Ibom State. That is why I am urging you to make sure that he wins
in the state.”
The group’s National Coordinator, Saint Anthanasius Okon,
reminded the people that Gen. Buhari’s project required people of like-minds
and open spirit.
He urged the residents to unite for Gen. Buhari to win.
