Diaspora group endorses Buhari

- By Muideen Olaniyi

The Foundation for Good Governance in Nigeria (FGGN) has endorsed the candidatur­e of President Muhammadu Buhari ahead of the coming presidenti­al election.

The Secretary General of the UK-based NonGovernm­ental Organisati­on for the promotion of good governance, democracy, and developmen­t in Nigeria, Dr Falalu Dahiru Danwata, in a release yesterday urged all well-meaning Nigerians to vote for President Buhari.

“Since its inception in 2002, the FGGN has consistent­ly thrown its weight behind the candidatur­e of General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB) in the four election cycles of 2003, 2007, 2011, and 2015.

“Such unwavering support was predicated on the belief that GMB was the best that Nigeria and Nigerians needed and deserved to lead them out of the quagmire facing the country, as compared with other candidates in those election cycles.

“Now that we are in yet another election cycle and that all political parties have nominated their candidates for the presidenti­al election, we are duty bound to look again for the best presidenti­al candidate. On doing that, we found President Buhari to be the best candidate.

“In essence, none of the 72 candidates for the 2019 presidenti­al election can match President Buhari in terms of integrity, honesty, trustworth­iness, and records of achievemen­ts,” the statement said.
