President Muhammadu Buhari, Friday, led other top shots of the ruling All progressives Congress (APC) to Uyo, the capital city of Akwa Ibom State where they all vowed to prevent the return of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to power in 2019.
They said that there will be no chance for PDP to return to power in 2019 or repeat the 16 years of waste it foisted on the nation.
In their speeches while flagging off the APC National Campaign for the 2019 elections at the Godswill Akpabio International stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state on Friday, President Muhammadu Buhari, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Adams Oshiomhole, Rotimi Amaechi and Senator Godswill Akpabio emphasised that APC will justify people’s hopes for a brighter future.
Governors including Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti); Jibrila Bindow (Adamawa); Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna); Ibikunle Amosun(Ogun) and Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi) also attended the rally.
Oshiomole said next year’s election would be a contest of integrity and others, noting that Buhari is a man of integrity who has led the country by good example.
Oshiomole said Buhari’s integrity and exemplary leadership style has earned him global respect and reckoning among world leaders unlike others who can’t enter the United States of America.
“The issue of the 2019 election would be that of charlatans and integrity. The opposition knows that you have integrity that is why they are blackmailing Mr. President”.
He said that Nigerians will not support a government that will put for sale the oil assets of the country as the PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar intends to sell off the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
Tinubu said re-electing President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 would give Nigerians hope and cause the diversification of the economy.
Though alleging that the 16- year rule of the PDP ravaged and dragged back the economy, Tinubu however noted Akwa Ibom has become attractive to his party due to the efforts of former governors Victor Attah and Godswill Akpabio.
