Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, on Monday urged Nigerians to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 election.
According to him, Buhari/Osinbajo ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) remained the best option.
Gbajabiamila made the statement in Lagos at the presentation of 350 laptops to students and youths in his Surulere Federal Constituency 1, NAN reports.
He said the APC-led administration had set the foundation for the country ‘s progress and urged Nigerians to vote the party for continued progress.
The lawmaker noted that another term for APC meant a steady progress to a better future for the country.
Gbajabiamila condemned the 16 years of PDP rule describing it as a disaster to the country as Nigeria “got no returns on investments from the inefficient managers of the country’s commonwealth”
He added that the promise of the Peoples Democratic Party for a Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) slot could not make the region trade away “the development ticket”.
“Do we have any body seated here who actually believes the South West should drop the position of Vice President and go lower down to Secretary of Government of the Federation as recommended by PDP?
“I am sure none. Our resolve in the candidature of President Muhammadu Buhari and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo can not be traded away for any condescending offer.
”We stand by the offer to complete Lagos–Ibadan Expressway; We stand by the offer to give us Lagos–Ibadan rail project; we stand by the offer to give us Lagos–Sango–Abeokuta expressway.
“We stand by the offer that just delivered Apapa–Wharf Road; we stand by the offer to deliver Apapa–Oshodi–Oworoshoki-Ojota Expressway; we stand by offer to provide steady solar power to our Lagos markets.
“We stand by offer to support our market women with soft loans; we stand by offer to improve power supply; we stand by the fight against corruption and pillage of public fund.
”We reject the offer to sell NNPC to friends and cronies; we reject the offer to return Nigeria to 16 years of retrogression. We stand solidly by Buhari–Osinbajo,” he said.
He further warned Nigerians never to allow the country to go back to the hands of PDP which he said had robbed the country of every form of development.
The House Leader said the APC knew the issues and the needs of the country and would continue to work towards a better country for all.
