BUHARI WILL NOT DISAPPOINT IGBOS

Ndigbo Unity Forum, an Igbo social -political organization today the 6^th of April, 2015 after a meeting scheduled to discuss the outcome and transparency of the just concluded 2015 presidential election in Onitsha, Anambra State resolved to use this medium to congratulate the president-elect and flag bearer of the All Progressive Congress (APC), General Mohammadu Buhari.

We would like to refer to previous publications by our organization NUF, ‘Jonathan has failed south east’ January 14, 2015 Punch newspaper and ‘Jonathan does not deserve second term’ February 1, 2015 Sun newspaper, ETC  where we pointed out reasons why we are convinced that President Goodluck Jonathan does not deserve a second term in office. NUF is confident that the president-elect will give Nigerians the desired change that will steer the economic and security situation towards the right direction. We also want to assure Igbos that this new administration will not undermine our collective interest so everyone needs to co-operate and make our urgent needs known. This message also applies to our brothers in the Niger-delta and to all the ex-militants that threatened to go back to the creeks.

Our urgent demands:

1.     Efforts should be made to ensure that the second Niger Bridge is constructed as scheduled.

2.     Use reputable persons from the eastern region in your government.

3.     Give the region one additional state to balance up as every other region in the country has six states each and North West has seven states.

4.     Reduce accidents on our federal roads by constructing a dual since most of the roads are currently single lane and in a state of disrepair.

5.     Implement the national confab report as this will help fortify our national unity.
