The All Progressives Congress has said that the
victory of Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), in
the presidential poll will translate to better funding
of Osun State by the Federal Government.
Director of Publicity of the APC in Osun State, Mr.
Kunle Oyatomi, said this in a congratulatory message
to celebrate Buhari’s victory. A copy of the message
was made available to our correspondent in Osogbo
on Wednesday.
The party expressed the confidence that the fortune
of the state would change for the better since the
state and the government at the centre would soon
be ruled by the same party.
The statement said, “Buhari’s victory raises hope for
greater development and promises a better, more
reliable funding for the Osun State, which shares the
same political philosophy with the President-elect.
“Osun people should not forget how the Peoples
Democratic Party-led Federal Government almost
strangulated the APC and the (Governor Rauf)
Aregbesola-led government after the governorship
victory of August 9, 2014.
“Since then, it has been a back-breaking struggle; but
with Buhari’s victory at the presidential election,
change, real change of fortune, is on the way for
Osun State.”
The APC added that Buhari’s victory on his fourth
attempt at the presidency had shown that with
persistence and dogged determination, one could
achieve anything, no matter how difficult it might
seem.
It said that Buhari’s electoral victory was not the
change “but the beginning of the change Nigerians
were yearning for.”
The statement further read, “Victory by itself is not
change we envisage, but the gateway to the process
of change. And it will require enormous work and
sacrifice to get to the Promised Land. Osun needs to
consolidate this victory by voting even more
massively for the APC during the House of Assembly
election on April 11, 2015.
“With Buhari’s victory, change has been ushered into
the Nigerian political space, and hopefully will
permeate all spectra of our national life.
“By the outcome of this presidential election, Nigeria
has set in motion a truly democratic system which
will place premium on the people as the traditional
custodians of power.
“This election has left Nigerians with a series of
fundamental lessons, paramount amongst which are
that it takes courage, persistence and strength of
character to succeed politically in effecting change in
a system that had gone rotten like Nigeria over a
period of 16 years of misrule by the PDP.”
