The Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, has said the large crowd
that received President Muhammadu Buhari at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium
in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on Friday, showed that Buhari cannot be
defeated in next year’s presidential election
According to him,
the South-South people trooped out to witness the commencement of
Buhari’s campaign because they appreciated Buhari’s “sterling
achievements” in office in the last three and a half years.
Ambode
said Buhari had laid a solid foundation for Nigeria’s economic
development and growth, adding that his re-election in 2019 could only
translate into improved infrastructure, economy, security and
anti-corruption drive.
A statement on Sunday by his Chief Press
Secretary, Habib Aruna, quoted Ambode to have said this in an interview
with journalists in Uyo during the presidential campaign of the All
Progressives Congress.
He said, “This is a great day for
democracy and good governance in Nigeria. The crowd that came to the
stadium for the rally eloquently reaffirms the invincibility status of
President Buhari.
“If such a large crowd could gather at the
stadium to receive the President in the South-South, it means the people
have seen the light which President Buhari and Vice-President Yemi
Osinbajo represent for this country.
“What I want Nigerians to
know and appreciate is that the re-election of Buhari/Osinbajo in 2019
can only translate to improved security, economy, quality infrastructure
and massive scaling up of anti-corruption drive, among others.
