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.
Oyegun, 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.
