2019: Buhari remains best candidate for APC - Coalition

- By Saawua Terzungwe

The Buhari/Osinbajo Democratic Awareness Coalition initiated to promote the achievemen­ts of the present administra­tion ahead of the 2019 general elections has said President Muhammadu Buhari remains the best candidate for the All Progressiv­es Congress (APC).

The coalition also called on the youths and well-meaning Nigerians to play key roles in ensuring that the present administra­tion succeeded in office. In a statement signed by its national coordinato­r, Agbaminoja Olatunji George, and made available to Daily Trust at their meeting yesterday, in Abuja, the coalition said Buhari deserved a second term of office.

The group said the current administra­tion has reduced the level of corruption in the country, degraded the dreaded Boko Haram and took the nation’s economy out of recession among others.

“I don’t want to talk about politics now but Buhari remains the best candidate for the APC. The future belongs to God and it’s God that makes kings. Of course, if he decides to run, we will support him.

“The corruption that he is fighting tooth and nail will help to propel this country to its past glory. Nigerians voted the previous government out because of suffering. The country was in a recession.

“After few months, this man (Buhari) led us out of recession. He is not even proud of it. He is still saying that the common man should feel they have stomach infrastruc­ture. Is that a leader not worth fighting for?

“You have a leader that is not stealing money, you have a leader that the ministers are not living flamboyant­ly, you can see the television that he watched recently, it’s the same television I use in my house.
