Elders in the All Progressives
Congress in Plateau State on Friday said President Muhammadu Buhari never
promised Nigerians a rosy passage.
The elders, under the aegis of
APC Elders Advisory Council of Plateau State, said when Buhari took over governance,
he admitted that Nigerians would face challenges in the short term and then
rejoice in the long run.
Speaking in Jos, the state
capital, Chairman of APC elders, Capt. Joseph Din, also endorsed Buhari for a
second term.
Din said the President has done
very well in tackling insecurity, corruption and poverty; while he has also
“improved the economy by battling recession, brought youth empowerment and
created jobs.”
According to Din, “We hereby
unanimously endorse President Muhammadu Buhari as President of Nigeria come
2019 and Rt. Hon. Simon Bako Lalong as governor of Plateau State come 2019.
“We all know that this country
was heading into economic recession already when Buhari took over in 2015.
“It was largely due to the
falling prices of crude oil in the international market and the long-term
mismanagement of the economy by previous governments.
“Nevertheless, this government
has been able to steer us away from recession within the shortest possible
time.
“When President Buhari was taking
over, he did not promise Nigerians that it was going to be rosy all through. He
admitted that Nigerians were going to face challenges in the short term and
then rejoice for a long time.
“Due to his economic policies, we
have started seeing the difference. For instance, Nigeria produced 15 million
metric tonnes of rice in 2017 alone. We are the highest exporter of yams the
world over and we are the largest producer of cassava the world over. This has
reduced the country’s food importation bill.
“We in the Plateau State APC
Elders Advisory Council call on President Muhammadu Buhari Governor Simon Bako
Lalong to run for a second term in 2019 in order to complete the good work they
have started.”
