Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo
has described the current political happenings in Nigeria as a battle between
the good and bad elements whose aim was to continue suffocating the nation by
milking it dry.
According to the News Agency of
Nigeria, NAN, Osinbajo said that the Federal Government “would not compromise”
in the ongoing war against corruption and protection of national interest.
Osinbajo made the declaration in
Daura on Thursday while addressing thousands of the All Progressives Congress
loyalists at a campaign rally for Saturday’s Katsina north senatorial district
bye-election.
He reeled out the achievements of
the administration which focused on transforming the nation’s infrastructure
like roads, rail lines, agriculture, education, health, security and the fight
against corruption.
“We will not relent,” he said,
adding that no amount of blackmail will stop the government.
He used the occasion to call on
the electorate in Daura north senatorial district to vote for the APC, noting
that the election was necessitated by the death of the senator for the area,
late Mustafa Bukar.
Earlier, Katsina state governor,
Aminu Masari described the current face-off in Nigeria’s Senate as unfortunate,
uncalled for and saddening.
He called on Nigerians of every
divide to continue to support the transformation agenda of President Muhammadu
Buhari, stressing that “this country must be reformed to the right path of
progress and prosperity.”
Also, Kano State Governor,
Abdullahi Ganduje who spoke on behalf of the Northwest governors, described the
bye-election as a testing ground, preparatory to the 2019 general elections and
called on the electorate to use their votes wisely.
APC National Chairman, Mr Adams
Oshimhole called on the electorates to vote for the APC and shun financial
inducements.
He described president Buhari as
honest, gentle and one of the most decent Nigerian leader ever produced.
He said Nigeria would in the near
future be bailed out of poverty, crimes and insecurity whose seed was laid by
the 16 years of the Peoples Democratic Party rule in the country.
