While speaking during an interview on Channels Television on Sunday, September 2, 2018, Igbokwe said Buhari is a rarity in Nigerian politics and that Nigeria is lucky to have him.

He further claimed that Buhari has reset Nigeria's course from the path of destruction it was headed for before he took the reins and argued that he needs more time to completely transform the country.

He said, "PMB is a good man. You'll rarely find that kind of man in a place like Nigeria. He's somebody you can trust with your money, with your resources. We're lucky to have him. Extremely lucky, I'm telling you this.

"People who go for this man, they're not getting anything, he can't give you anything. We want him, he's the man.

"All the candidates combined together cannot beat this man."

President Buhari is contesting for re-election three years after his victory in the 2015 election and is expected to win the ticket of the APC as he has no major challenger.
