All Progressive Congress(APC)
governors from the north-east say President Muhammadu Buhari deserves a second
term based on his performance in office.
They gave the endorsement at the
end of a two-day APC north-east zonal meeting in Bauchi on Sunday.
The governors who attended the
meeting in Bauchi include Kashim Shettima of Borno, Bindow Jibrila of Adamawa,
Mohammed Abubakar of Bauchi, Isa Yuguda of Bauchi and Modu Sheriff of Borno,
among others.
Governor Shettima of Borno said
the president has done extremely well as the sub-region has benefitted from his
administration.
“We all know the sorry state of
the country, we are the net beneficiaries of President Muhammadu Buhari’s
administration in terms of appointment, securing lives and properties and
projects,” he said.
“Because the Mambilla hydropower
project in Gembu Taraba alone is game changer in this part of the world.
“Therefore north-east is Buhari’s
territory, believe me the sub-region will solely back him in 2019 general
elections,” he reiterated.
Mustapha Salihu, APC national
vice-chairman for north-east, said the president has done much for the
sub-region in terms of providing infrastructural development as well as the
fight against insurgency.
He said: “I want to say that this
gathering is mainly an endorsement meeting to show appreciation to Buhari’s administration
for salvaging us from the shackles of insurgency, no single kilometre is now
under Boko Haram.
“The meeting is also to reiterate
our support come 2019 by giving him triple number of votes as against what was
given to him in 2015.
“On the whole, the meeting is to
map out strategies with the stakeholders to see how we will go about the
forthcoming general elections to re-elect Buhari for a second term.”
On his part, Ahmed Lawan, senate
leader, said senators of APC are more united after the defections and will
continue to support the present administration on efforts to provide
development in the country.
He said: “We are committed,
loyal, patriotic and we will continue to support the president to actualise the
wishes of Nigerians, and we will be committed party members who are supporting
the continuity of the present administration.
“The 2019 general elections will
be determined by integrity, history of candidates we know how they destroyed
the resources. People should remember where we are coming from and where we
are, right now.
“Buhari has done a lot of very
good programmes and projects. Some have been concluded but there is still a lot
that needs to be done.
“So we need to vote for him and
return him as president so that he can complete the good work he has started.”
