President Muhammadu Buhari Thursday in Onitsha begged the people of Anambra State to vote for APC, saying that his government means well for them.

Buhari who spoke at a presidential campaign rally held at Holy trinity field in Onitsha said his government was working hard on economy, security and the fighting against corruption.

The president who first moved to the newly completed Zik’s Mausoleum, where he commissioned the project, was also at the palace of the traditional ruler of Onitsha Kingdom, Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe, where he met traditional rulers in the state.

Addressing a mammoth crowd which gathered at the venue, Buhari said, “I am happy to have commissioned the Zik’s Mausoleum, I am just coming from there now. The road from Enugu to here(Onitsha), which was last done during the Abacha time is being done again.

“We are also working on the Port Harcourt road to this place too, and I believe the minister of Transport (Rotimi Amechi) has also told you of the railway project, which will also pass from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri, through some of your states.”

The president however did not make new promises on what his government would do for the people of the South east if he gets another term.

The president while speaking in the area of economy lamented that there were too many unemployed able bodied people in the country.

In the area of security, Buhari assured that his government was doing his best, while also stating that no local government in the North East was being held by members of the Boko Haram sect.
