Presidential  candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), has been told not to bother about the South-South as the region will vote massively for him and all the other candidates of the party in the forthcoming general elections. Rivers APC gave the assurance in a statement in which it congratulated Buhari on his successful South-South Rally held in the Rivers State capital, Port Harcourt, on Thursday.
“There is nothing to compare between General Buhari and President Goodluck Jonathan when it comes to caring for the welfare of the people of the South-South.  While President Jonathan has confessed that he deliberately refused to develop Rivers State and the entire South-South, General Buhari built one of the refineries in South-South and constructed the only road that links Bayelsa with Rivers State.

This shows that if he is given another opportunity, he will develop the South-South more than President Jonathan, who has refused to develop the region and therefore does not deserve the people’s vote.  The people of the South-South will indeed vote massively for General Buhari and other APC candidates for the various elections on March 28 and April 11,” Rivers APC Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, said in the statement.
