2019: Group pledges support for Buhari’s re-election

The National Coordinator of Project 4+4 Buhari/Osinbajo 2019 has reiterated its commitment to support President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 general elections.

At a stakeholders meeting in Abuja yesterday, he said the Project 4+4 Buhari Support Group differed from the rest because they would enlighten Nigerians on the propaganda by the opposition party.

He said the group which has the theme; ‘4 Years of Change, 4 Years of Consolidation’, has over 30,000 members with collaboration with other NGOs which are committed to the president’s re-election.

Hajia Zainab Salamatu Baiwa Umar Eluma, the National Women Leader of the APC, who was elected the national women leader for Project 4+4, said the party would create an atmosphere of inclusiveness for Nigerian women who should fully participate and remain committed to Buhari’s re-election.

She said they would mobilise women in order to capture more states for the APC. The Kaduna State government has announced the appointment of AIG Mohammed Murtala Abbass as the Special Adviser, Security/ Coordinator, Operation Yaki.
