President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) |
OWERRI—Barring unforeseen
circumstances, President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) will visit
Owerri today on a thank you tour.
A Government House statement,
which brought this to light, was signed by Governor Rochas Okorocha’s media
aide, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, and made available to media men in Owerri.
“His Excellency, General
Muhammadu Buhari, the President-elect on the platform of All Progressives
Congress, APC, will be visiting the state to thank the people and government of
the state for their unalloyed support that contributed greatly to his
resounding victory at the polls on March 28, ” Onwuemeodo said.
While noting that God used
Okorocha to make the state and the South-East geo-political zone to be part of
the success story of General Buhari’s victory, Onwuemeodo assured the
people that they would be carried along in the unfolding dispensation.
“In the new emerging order,
everybody will be carried along and people will not be discriminated against on
ground of their political leaning,” Onwuemeodo said.
Although the state government
described Buhari’s visit as a thank you tour, close political watchers in the
state believe it would be a campaign stunt for Governor Okorocha.
