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.
