President Muhamadu Buhari has
urged politicians not to see the 2019 general election as a declaration of war.
Buhari said this while delivering
his good will message at the swearing-in ceremony of Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola as
Osun governor on Tuesday in Osogbo.

the event by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Boss

Buhari also urged all APC
candidates in the election to conduct themselves peacefully, eschew hate speech
and avoid violence.
The president also called on
Nigerians to vote wisely during the election.
“It is just 81 days to the general elections
and I call on Nigerians to vote wisely by voting for APC,” the president said.
Buhari also said that he was
committed to building a better Nigeria by building the economy, fighting
corruption and protecting lives and property.
While congratulating Gov.
Oyetola, the president said Federal Government would continue to support the
state in the area of infrastructure development.
Buhari said that Osun would be
one of the five pioneer states that would benefit from N55.1 billion basic
health provision by December.

administration would complete all the ongoing infrstraucture projects in the

ReplyDeletePeace loving man, 2019 election is not a do or die affair to him.. This reminds of 2009 or 2011, when Obasanjo described the the then election as a do or die affair.. Buhari is sensible and would enter in 2019, without chaos
ReplyDeleteEither you're insensitive or you eat from Buhari kitchen. The God of heaven will not allows us get to the next level of starvation, killings and penury
