The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), John Odigie-Oyegun, has urged Nigerians to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 for a second term.
Oyegun stated this in an interview with journalists.
He pointed out Buhari’s integrity, as one of the President’s strong attributes, that will move the country forward.
“The gift President Buhari is giving to this country is what he represents and that is his absolute integrity.
“What Nigerians should aspire to be, the kind of country that we want Nigeria to be, a country where a man’s yes is his yes.
“A country with leadership that treats with respect public resources, a nation that is disciplined; a nation that is not wallowing in indecent corruption that we have today that is making one ashamed, that is what Buhari represents.
“He is like a General leading a charge against the major ills of this country. The job is so enormous that one term cannot do it. The job is so enormous that two terms cannot do it.
“Even after President Buhari’s tenure, we still need people like him to continue in office. So, my prayer is that God gives him robust good health and once he enjoys that, of course as an individual, I will work that he comes back for another term.
“But those things are in the hands of God because we are not God and we cannot play God. I am only saying that because of the enormity of the task that we are facing.
“When we talk of change, a lot of people talk about physical change. The main one is the change in the mentality and ethics of Nigerians, especially the attitude of Nigerians to right and wrong.
“So, the task is enormous and we need continuity in principled leadership which President Buhari represents,” Oyegun said.

ReplyDeleteOyegun is trying to keep his job till 2019.He wants to earn more salaries and allowance, not minding the hardships the mass is facing
ReplyDeleteEven if the president have good intentions, his health is an indication that he cannot carry on with this job effectively. He should not continue to punish Nigerians by insisting that he wants to continue. He should just plan a good transition if he wants good for Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteIt is not compulsory that Buhari has to be president for eight years for Nigeria to be a better place. In fact, I see some inordinate and unholy desperation in him if he insist he wants to run again. We have over 170 million people for goodness sake. We have lots of other competent people who can run this country. It is not a must that one particular person rules. Anyone that insists that he must rule has an evil agenda. Period!
ReplyDeleteIntegrity means looking around and seeing other younger and fitter candidates with integrity for the post of president and stepping down. Nigeria is very complex, integrity is very important but integrity alone is not enough. Nigeria does not need a back seat driver.
