As the 2019 general elections draw nearer, a former member of the House of Representatives, God'swill Eluemunoh, has said President Muhammadu Buhari will defeat ex-vice president Atiku Abubakar in the southeast.
Punch reports that the former lawmaker, on Friday, November 23, said there is no empirical evidence to show that President Buhari is unpopular in that region.
Legit.ng gathers that Eluemunoh is from Anambra state and he represented Oyi/Ayamelum federal constituency in the House of Representatives.

He said: “The last election in 2015 even showed that the President is very popular, with the number of votes he garnered all over Nigeria, and you are talking about Anambra state or the southeast alone?
“In 2015, he was outside (the power), but now he is in power. He has done enough to help the people of the southeast of Nigeria.
“If you check, before he (president) came in, the Port Harcourt road was not done; the Enugu – Onitsha expressway was not done. But, if you go there now, you will attest to the fact that that road, especially the Enugu-Onitsha is the one done with the standard of a federal highway.
“If you check, the Onitsha – Owerri road, which had some problems around the Imo section, has been settled. Then, the Aba – Port Harcourt road, is also ongoing. So, what will you say this president hasn’t done?
“Look at our airports, even though it started from the last administration, but the president has also improved on what we have. Also look at the programme, where the president insisted that every child in the primary school, must be fed at least once a day.
“That trickles down to leaving some money in the pockets of some parents. So, this president, as far as I know, has done very well; from my own perspective.
“This president is one that has removed tears, at least, from the eyes of Nigerians. You should give Kudos to Mr President, and I ask him to continue with what he is doing.”
