Ikemba Nnewi, Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu, yesterday
visited the presidential candidate of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), General Muhammadu Buhari, in Daura,
with a pledge to forge a common front with him to fight for justice and a better Nigeria. Ojukwu, the candidate
of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the just concluded presidential election, told hundreds of well
wishers who welcomed him to Buhari�s Daura home that the visit was aimed at ensuring a more united and greater
nation. Urging Nigerians to be resolute in the defence of democracy and the enthronement of justice, Ojukwu said
his alliance with the ANPP presidential candidate would ensure a spirit of cooperation between the people of the
South-East and the North. Also speaking at the occasion, Buhari�s running mate in the election, Senator Chuba
Okadigbo, urged Nigerians to be firm and committed to the enthronement of democracy. He explained that the delegation
which comprised political leaders from the South-East was in Daura to consult with General Buhari on the way forward
and to ensure that justice prevails. According to him, the ANPP presidential team will soon take over Aso Rock.
The delegation had a private lunch and held discussion with Buhari. Those in the team include: ANPP gubernatorial
candi-date in Kaduna State, Suleiman Hunkuyi, Senator-elect, Kanti Bello and a former Health Minister, Dr. Tim
Menakaya. (Daily Trust)
