The Buhari Youth Organisation (BYO), Lagos State Chapter on Sunday organised a victory party to celebrate the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

The State Coordinator of BYO, Mr Abdulwaheed Odunuga, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at the party that the celebration was to appreciate and thank Lagos electorate for voting Buhari.

NAN reports that the celebration tagged Appreciation 2019: Thank You for Voting Buhari and His Team had in attendance members of BYO across the state and many residents.

Odunuga said that Nigerians had spoken, especially Lagos electorate, saying that Buharis re-election was a renewed call to service for the President and his team.

The BYO coordinator said: The purpose of this party is to say thank you to Lagosians and Nigerians and also to appreciate them. It is also to tell the people that this government needs our support.

The people have indeed showed the love they have for President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo by re-electing them. We are motivated by this overwhelming support of Lagosians.

We thank the youth, women and others who cast their votes in support of Buhari on Feb. 23. We would appeal to them to do it again on March 9 when we shall be voting in Governorship and House of Assembly Elections.

According to him, residents must be appreciated so as to get more support for APC candidates in the upcoming elections.



He urged residents to vote Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the APC Governorship Candidate and all candidates of APC for State Assembly Elections on Saturday.

Odunuga, who noted that the turnout of voters on Feb. 23, elections was not impressive at all, urged eligible voters to troop out to vote for APC candidates in the upcoming elections.

It was very sad that a lot of our youths were playing football on the streets when the elections were ongoing, showing apathy to matter that had to do with their future, he said.
