Governor prays: God will give us a president like Buhari in 2023

The Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi, has prayed that God will give Nigeria a president like Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

The Governor spoke on Monday after a visit to the Presidential Villa, where he met with President Buhari.

He expressed the hope that someone with a “good heart” like Buhari will emerge as his replacement in 2023.

Asked whether South East leaders were working to get the main political parties to zone the presidency to the region, Umahi said: “Well, for me, I’m very much entrenched in completing my projects.

“And I will look into politics when my tenure is remaining one year, which is from May 29, 2022.

“And I think it is the same thing with other governors of South East and by extension, governors of APC (All Progressives Congress).

“My position about what you ask is that our people that are in those political parties are making efforts in selling the need for South East to produce the next president.

“But I think both the governors and Mr. President should not be distracted.

“When the elections are done and won, it should be governance.

“But in this country, the moment the election is completed, the next one that starts is that the masses are being cheated.

“So, those whose job is politics and who are not into elected position or appointed position have all the time and the opportunity to do this canvassing.

“And I think that they are doing it and doing it very well.

“But I continue to say that power rests in the hands of God.

“And God will also give us the next president who has good heart like President Buhari for the good of this country.

“We need God’s own anointing for our own anointed president, for the interests and unity of this country.”
