The All Progressive Congress
(APC) North West zone, has flagged off campaign for President Muhammadu
Buhari’s second term in office.
Senate Leader, Ahmed Lawan, on
Sunday inaugurated campaign volunteers drawn from the 186 local government
areas in the region.
NAN reports that Lawan, represented
by Sen. Abu Ibrahim, explained that the volunteers would highlight the
achievements of the Buhari administration especially “in the area of security,
economy, fight against corruption and infrastructural development with
consequent redemption of hitherto soiled image of Nigeria in the comity of
nations”.
“There is no gainsaying that
President Buhari took the mantle of leadership of Nigeria when it was almost on
a brink of collapse evident in the activities of Boko Haram terrorist which had
captured over 14 local governments.
“The economy was battered by the
government that Buhari succeeded to the point that payment of workers salaries
was about to be impossible due to embezzlement, bribery and other related
economic and financial recklessness.
“Other reasons why we voluntarily
support Buhari /Osinbajo 2019 presidency includes it’s sincerity of purpose,
integrity, transparency, accountability, discipline, ethics, trust and
tolerance displayed over the years.
“The strong desire of the
administration for continuity in progress, readiness to create opportunities
for leadership experience among the youth also makes a basic requirement for
their re-election in 2019,” he added.
Chairman, Northern Senators
Forum, Sen. Aliyu Wamakko, said that the administration had taken good measures
within three years to address some of the challenges facing the country.
Wamakko said the diversification
of Nigeria economy from old age reliance on oil as the mainstay of the county’s
economy to agriculture and mining had produced positive results.
“Yet again, the government also
engages in providing infrastructure service to Nigerian in terms of good roads,
railways, houses across the country,” he said.
Sen. Jibrin Barau expressed
support for the laudable achievements of President Buhari, adding “we must work
together to sustain the good work as what President Buhari administration has
done PDP has not done in their 16 years.”
