Obasanjo Campaigns For Muhammadu Buhari In U.S by Everfrank(op): 2:25pm On Feb 05, 2019
The re-election bid of President Muhammadu Buhari got a boost on Monday when Mr Olujonwo Obasanjo, son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, stormed the United States to galvanise Nigerians to support Buhari for the Feb. 16 presidential election.

Obasanjo, who is the President, The Buhari Youth Organisation (BYO), said he was in the United States to solicit support for Buhari’s re-election among Nigerian in the diaspora and other members of the international community.

He explained that his support for the re-election of the president was due to his focus on youth empowerment and securing the future of the country for the Nigerian youth.

Obasanjo said while in the United States, he participated in several activities aimed to project the positive image of the administration and Nigeria to the international community.

“I participated at the United Nations International Day for Education, promoted by the Nigerian Permanent Mission to the United Nations and the Nigerian Government.

“Education is one of the tenets of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, focusing on youth empowerment, youth participation and securing a better future for our generation and the generations to come.

“I also participated at the Nigerian American Business Forum where I met with many Nigerian professionals and their American counterparts. I went to Atlanta to visit our sister organisations there and to inaugurate many of our organisations.

“I also went to Detroit where we inaugurated some of the organisations. We also have many Buhari support organisations in New York as well.

“We have Buharists in the United States and all over the world. So I am here to encourage them and to support them in every way we can,” he said.
He said his support for Buhari was because he stood out among other presidential candidates because of his determination to bequeath a secured future for the youth of Nigeria.

“President Buhari has opened up the space for the youth of the country to participate politically, economically, and all other areas of the economy.

“Recently, there was the women and youth campaign wing that was inaugurated by the president, which showed that he wants to ensure that the youth and the women have a strong voice in his re-election campaign.

“We believe that by doing that, Mr president wants us to be part of his administration going forward. Mr President is one who has made us believe again in our country, who has made us proud of our country.

“At the international stage, we are not being looked upon like a pariah nation. So I believe for Nigerians at home and Nigerians in the diaspora, they have seen that Mr president is the best candidate.’’

Mr Haruna Madisca, Organising Secretary of The Buhari Youth Organisation, also said Buhari was a man of integrity and the fear of God, which Nigeria needed at this time.

He said Nigerians could not trust Atiku, saying his plan to sell the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) if elected was questionable.

He added that Buhari had provided enabling environment for small businesses to thrive.

Madisca, who is President, Goron Oil and Gas Limited, said through the NNPC Renewable Energy Department, there is a $25 million investment in cassava in Kogi that would be producing 40,000 litres of bio-ethanol per day.

“The investment start-up on a turnkey basis is $25 million. The plant will employ over 2,500 people on a full time basis,” he said, saying such investment was at risk should NNPC be sold to private investors.

Say no to vote buying
PDP WILL WIN APC-hain IN SOUTHWEST.Jubril THE IMPOSTER MUST BE CHASED BACK TO SUDAN.Nigerians are also unwilling to protest in the face of a rigged election - They will just manage it instead.
Nigerians are not prepared to war.the only place Buhari has scored high is on his partial corruption fight. Why would his party chairman say if you want your sins to be forgiven, come over to APC. Thats a direct testament to partiality in the corruption fight. As regards the Economy, Power, Works, etc, he has scored less than 10percent compared to what he promised.1. Snake swallowed N36 million in Jamb office;
2. Monkey stole N70million in WAEC coffers;
3. Rats chased president out of office in Aso Rock Villa;
4. 10million jobs lost within 3years;
5. $25billion misappropriated at NNPC due to inflated contract;
6. $43m at Ikoyi house scandal still a mystery;
7. CBN confirms that Buhari's Government withdrew $3.2billion from NLNG Dividend Account in 3 years;
8. Cows became more valuable than human life;
9. Technically defeated Boko Haram overran our ill- equipped military that allegedly receives billions of naira on security votes;
10. Corruption now wears dollar babariga and invincible to EFCC;
11. Money keep disappearing from NHIS, NBC, NPA, to NEMA, NNPC, even the "saintest Osibade" got involved in N5.8b scandal;
12. Approximately 13 million children dropped out of school in 2018 alone;
13. Nigeria became the poverty capital of the world;
14. Debt profile increased from N9trn to N23trn in 3yrs;
15. NYSC certificate now turned to toilet paper, wasted effort;
16. The U.S President called the Nigerian president lifeless;
17. Pump price of petrol increased from N86 - N145, yet workers monthly salary remain constant since 2015 while prices of every commodity, services, transport etc increased
More and more;
