Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma has said President Muhammadu Buhari is the next powerful person after God in Nigeria.

In a clip seen by making round on Monday, the governor said Buhari possessed the power to decide which region should get what, suggesting the South-East is sidelined for its refusal to cooperate with Mr Buhari’s regime.

Uzodimma said, “After God in Nigeria, the next person is Buhari. He has the power to dictate where there should be light or not, and it happens. Why have we decided that there shouldn’t be light in our place while others have light?”

“He will stay there until his eight years’ tenure is over. He will develop his place and help his people and leave while we remain here crying.

“So, let’s stop wasting time and start talking in the same tone with others. There is nothing like someone being with the ruling party.”

Condemning the continued attacks on South-East states, Uzodimma further noted, “You can be at Aso Rock, and somebody will be inside the bush at Okwuodo throwing a stone. What is the business of the person in Aso Rock with the stone you’re throwing from Okwuodo?

“The stone thrown from Okwuodo has no effect on the person in Aso rock. The person in Aso Rock will stay there, help his people and go his way.”
