As the 2019 general elections draw nearer, Nigerians have been urged to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari for the future of their children to be meaningful.

The wife of the Vice President, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo on Friday made the call at a town hall meeting held at Kola Daisi Civic Center in Ibadan the Oyo State capital.

She said the only avenue for the country to develop further lies with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) government.

Mrs Osinbajo, however, tasked women in Oyo State to speak in one voice for the re-election of the duo in the February 16 general election.

The wife of the Vice President who was hosted by wife of the state governor, Mrs. Florence Ajimobi, posited that it became imperative for women to care for the future of their children to vote for a government that puts the future of the younger generation into priority, which the administration of President Buhari places premium on.

She disclosed that: “What we are doing today is because of our children and every work a parent does is for the future of his or her children.”

“Every money earned is for the children. We have to monitor those that will take care of our children.

“What we are here to discuss is who will direct our children, which is why our vote is very important and what we saw today has explained the government of President Buhari as one that thinks and plans for the humanity,” saying that whoever that is selfish could not think of another person’s welfare.

Mrs Osinbajo who spoke in parables in Yoruba Language, described the President as not only a kind man, but someone who serves as a voice to the children that are voiceless.

“What President Buhari’s government is doing is also helping the traders across the country. The farmers have benefited from the gesture as well. This are the reasons I said the time of Buhari is beneficial. Apart from that, unemployed graduates are gainfully employed.”

The Vice President’s wife while disclosing the achievements of the President directly reminded parents especially mothers on the need to caution their children not to be used as instruments of violence by politicians.

“It is time mothers that are here to admonish our children not to be used as instruments of violence for politicians.”

“Politicians can fight with each other and at the same time become friends. If you take side and get yourself killed, you will have yourself to be blamed for the loss,” reminding them to remember the sons of whom they are.

In her address, wife of the state governor, Mrs. Florence Abiola Ajimobi, lauded the Buhari and Ajimobi’s administrations for their unprecedented achievements.

She said that the meeting was timely and important, adding that it would enlighten them on the present administration’s policies and achievements.

“The Buhari administration deserves our support and cooperation for another term, having done so well in their first term. Is it the 500,000 N-Power beneficiaries or school feeding?

“The Ajimobi-led administration apart from transforming the state into a modern one has empowered no fewer than 130,000 women in the state,” she said.

In her remark, a representative of the Bank of Industry (BoI), Mrs. Abimbola Soyode, said trader moni was not for vote buying as being insinuated by the opposition political parties.

She said that the money was accessed by petty traders irrespective of ethnicity, religion, age or political affiliation.

“TraderMoni is not vote buying as insinuated by some people. We started with Market Money and after two years, we commenced TraderMoni for petty traders to benefit,” she maintained.
