The Buhari/Osinbajo Continuity
2019 Organisation wants all campaign groups involved in the Presidential
campaign to eschew bitterness and hate speech in the campaigns and preach peace
through out the campaign, promising to deliver 16 million votes to the
President in the 2019 election.
The group said it planned to
embark on a door to door campaign to ensure the re-election of President
Muhammadu Buhari.
National Coordinator of the
Group, Hon, Ayuba Birma who spoke at a news conference in Abuja also ask all
candidates participating in the general elections to play by the rules, by
avoiding campaigns that promote hatred or preach intolerance and disunity among
fellow Nigerians.
While calling for total support
for the President to take Nigeria to the next level, Birma said that his group
will expose those involved in vote buying which he described as undemocratic,
while asking the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remain
impartial and ignore all insinuations of the opposition and work assiduously
towards a free, fair and credible election.
He said Security Agencies must be
prepared to discharge their responsibilities with utmost professionalism, as
they did in the last elections and asked other Buhari Support Groups to join
hands with them to deliver on thir mandate to ensure the re-election of
President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice, Prof. Yemi.
He said the Presidential
Fertilizer initiative has resulted in revitalisation of 14 blending plants
across the Country with total installed capacity in excess 2 million MT.
He said further that President
Muhammadu Buhari ordered the payment of pension of ex-Nigeria Airways staff,
NITEL, ex Biafran soldiers which were ignored by previous administrations,
while the government has been able to raise $177 million for Ogoni clean-up
efforts.
Bilma stressed that the Oil and
gas reforms in the NNPC has resulted in NNPC publishing it performance monthly
as controversial offshore arrangement has been cancelled and replaced with
direct sale and direct purchase scheme with reputable offshore refineries.
These are in addition to so many other benefits the reform has brought about.
The President, he said was able
to block leakages in the economy and raised revenue of government through the
whistleblower policy in addition to the benefits derived from the introduction
of the treasury single account.
Also speaking, a former Minister
of Education Prof. Nora Obaji said they were working for the re-election of the
President because of what he has achieved since assuming office.
She said “We are here because we
believe in Mr. President and the work that he is doing. We are here out of our
conviction that the President and Vice President needs a second term to lead
this country completely out of economic, political, and security crisis.
“The government also needs
patience, commitment, and support from the people at this critical time. One of
the greatest challenges to development in Nigeria has always been that of
patriotic leadership, and In recent times in the history of our country, we
have hardly had leaders who are as selfless as President Buhari, a man whose
patriotic zeal is incontrovertible.
“One who has demonstrated his
capacity to provide focused and result-driven leadership, and one who has
declared his passion to dream and work for a Nigeria that will be respected
again in the comity of nations. If you take a glossary look at President
Buhari’s profile, you will agree with my position.
“In the last three and a half
years, we have watched as the president Buhari and Osinbajo administration has
consistently demonstrated its commitment to deliver the benefits of democratic
governance to Nigerians through its achievements in security, the economy, war
against corruption, and infrastructural development.
“The administration is also
delivering on social investment initiatives like the N-Power, School Feeding
Programme, Conditional Cash transfer, TraderMoni, MarketMoni and various
programmes in the agricultural sector. These initiatives have positively
impacted on millions of Nigerians, especially those in the lower social strata
of society.
“Government critics have used
lopsided statistics to compare Nigeria with China and other countries on
economic and infrastructural development, but they carefully excluded the fact
that for China to get to where they are today, they established a zero
tolerance on corruption.”
