Governor Aregbesola Urges Nigerians to Vote Buhari and Enforce Change
Osun state governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has described the election of former Head of State, Gen Muhammadu Buhari as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress as “the best democratic pill to galvanise Nigerians towards the needed change”.
Governor Aregbesola, who released a statement via his Director of the Bureau of Communication and Strategy, Semiu Okanlawon, congratulating Gen Buhari on his victory at the primary, said that the former Head of State would be supported by all Nigerians as he is an agent of change.
He said: “We must congratulate Nigerians for the emergence of Gen Muhammadu Buhari as the presidential candidate of our party. The excitements, commendations and jubilations that have greeted the election and consequently the announcement of Gen Muhammadu Buhari are clear demonstrations of the fact that Nigerians have been anxious and now poised for an immediate change in Nigeria.
“It is clear now that Nigerians are determined to jettison their religious, tribal, partisan and other mundane interests to rally support for our candidate. Gen Muhammadu Buhari, I can confidently say, is not just the candidate of the All Progressives Congress but the popular choice of entire Nigerians.
“People have chosen the best man for the job regardless of all other less edifying considerations. Buhari represents the face of the required battle against corruption. He represents openness and commitment to good governance. For those who consider the awful impact of corruption on our country, the choice of Gen Buhari would easily translate to the readiness of Nigerians to battle against the most debilitating scourge against the country’s growth.”
Aregbesola also berated the 16 years of power under the Peoples Democratic Party, saying they have offered nothing but economic doom, political complications and social morass.
“We have witnessed the most horrendous crimes against the soul of this country. There has been a mindless rape of the country by a gang of looters who have made Nigeria a laughing stock in the comity of other nations.
“There is needless hunger in a country with many untapped opportunities. All the critical sectors have been bled to states of coma and what we have left as a country is fractured entity gasping for breath.
“With the election of General Muhammadu Buhari, Nigerians are assured that a new Nigeria is possible.”
