Many Nigerian observers are not aware of the Igbo man who is the closest politically to President Muhammadu Buhari, who does not have that much support in the Igbo heartland of Nigeria’s southeast region.

Buhari once dismissed Igbos as people that only gave him 5% of the vote and it appears that he will struggle to beat that low figure in the presidential (s)election next month. Buhari has been trying to improve on his share of the vote in the southeast with the help of his closest Igbo ally, Emeka Nwajiuba, a former lawmaker who represented Ehime Mbano, Ihitte-Uboma and Obowo Federal Constituency in Imo State in the National Assembly.

Nwajiuba, was previously with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before quitting for the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) – Buhari’s party before it merged with other parties to become the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2014. The president rewarded Nwajiuba’s loyalty by appointing him Chairman of Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) in April 2017.
