‘Election boycott will not work’

The Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), Mr. Osita Okechukwu, has said calls for election boycott by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) would not work.

Okechukwu spoke during a rally for President Muhammadu Buhari in Enugu.

He said: “People saying we should not participate in the election are in the fringe. If we were listening to them, why are the people spending their money, their strength running up and down to become one thing or the other?

“So, please, we should discountenance the fringe elements because they belong to every society, even in the churches.”

He urged Ndigbo, especially the youths, to come out and declare their support for Buhari in order to reap the benefits in the future.

He said: “It is the responsibility of the youths, more than any other cadre, to recognise that Mr. President is working for them. That’s why the social investment programme is aimed at pulling people out of poverty.

“Mr. President does not share money, but all the money that comes into the coffers of the Federal Government, he prudently manages. The youths should look into what Mr. President is doing because if you don’t have adequate electricity supply in the long run, we cannot develop. If we do not have modern transport system, we cannot develop.

“What Buhari is doing now, especially in agriculture, is to prepare us for tomorrow.”
