The Chairman of the Nigeria Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), George Muoghalu, said on Saturday President Muhammadu Buhari did not promise to hand over power to a former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, in 2023.<\/p>\n

Muoghalu, who is a former National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), told journalists in Imo State that the chances of the South East producing the President\u2019s successor are now brighter.<\/p>\n

The NIWA chief said President Buhari had been very fair to the South East zone and charged the APC to win more states in the region.<\/p>\n

He also expressed optimism that the party would win the 2021 governorship election in Anambra State with a quality candidate.<\/p>\n

Muoghalu said he was satisfied with the approach the APC had adopted in settling the disputes in the Imo State chapter of the party.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWho told you that the President promised to hand over power to Tinubu? There was nothing like that, people should stop speculating.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am optimistic that the APC has brighter chances of producing the President in 2023.\u00a0 But we need to win more states. With a quality candidate, APC will win Anambra in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President is doing several good things in the South East. But like an Oliver Twist, our people want more from the Federal Government.\u201d<\/p>\n
