2019 election: Why Ekiti voters should re-elect Buhari – Dep. Gov. Egbeyemi

The Ekiti State Deputy Governor, Otunba Bisi Egbeyemi, has said it
will be beneficial for the people of the state to re-elect President
Muhammadu Buhari with their votes in the February 16 presidential
election.

Egbeyemi said Ekiti people should keep faith with the party at the
centre, the All Progressives Congress (APC), to enjoy better standard
of living and good governance.

According to him, Ekiti will be better off when its people are ruled
by the same party at the federal and state levels, noting that the
state has more to gain having Buhari in office beyond 2019.

Egbeyemi, in a statement on Wednesday by his Special Assistant
(Media), Odunayo Ogunmola, also urged the electorate in Ekiti to vote
for all APC candidates in the National and State Assembly elections.

He stated this while receiving in audience officials of the state
chapter of the Presidential Support Committee for Buhari/Osinbajo who
paid him a courtesy visit in his office in Ado-Ekiti.

Egbeyemi stressed that the APC-led Federal Government deserves the
votes of Ekiti people owing to numerous projects being executed in the
state.

Some of the projects include: the Federal Secretariat complex, the
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) complex, the Federal Housing Estate,
federal road projects and social investment programmes.

The deputy governor, however, advised various campaign groups working
for the re-election of the Buhari-Osinbajo ticket to work towards
achieving victory at the polls.

Egbeyemi said: "I congratulate you on your appointment; I have
received many support groups promoting the re-election of President
Muhammadu Buhari and that is good for the task ahead.

"We should all work together to ensure that President Buhari wins, in
fact, we want to win with more votes this time around.

"I want to urge our people to vote for President Buhari and all APC
candidates because when we have APC up there and APC here, things will
be easy for us.

"Let us work hard for the party because when Buhari wins, Nigerians
will enjoy and Ekiti people will enjoy more dividends of democracy."

Ekiti State Coordinator of Presidential Support Committee for
Buhari/Osinbajo, Chief Abiodun Obayemi said all hands are on deck to
mobilize Nigerians to ensure victory for the APC.

Obayemi promised to work hand in glove with the party structure and
other stakeholders to win Ekiti for Buhari and other APC candidates.
