Aregbesola
Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State has told Nigerians that the nation needs Muhammadu Buhari at this critical time that it has been driven to a precipice just as he came at the nick of time in 1983 when the conservative National Party of Nigeria (NPN) had crippled the country through bad leadership.
He called on Nigerians to recollect that the economy, security and social welfare of the citizens were already completely destroyed after the defunct NPN’s rule from 1979 to 1983 when the military took over and gave Buhari the platform to restore the hope of Nigerians. He asserted that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has done the worst damage to the country.
While noting that there is a world of difference between the Buhari of 2014 who is a civilian and democrat and the Buhari of 1983 who was a soldier, the governor explained that the first step towards salvaging Nigeria from the claws of death by the PDP is to vote out the party. He observed that there is so much poverty and misery in the country despite the fortunes it had been blessed with.
According to a release by the Director, Bureau of Communication and Strategy, Semiu Okanlawon, the governor expressed his views when labour leaders in the state met him to submit a report of the efforts by workers to develop fresh means of economic sustenance for the state and increase its internally generated revenue.
Reeling out series of social disorders caused by the PDP government, Aregbesola said, “In 1983, it was Buhari that God sent to rescue the situation of Nigerians where the conservative elements had brought Nigeria to a rot. Buhari has come again to lead us out of the quagmire and sweep away all the anti-democratic and anti-development elements who have brought Nigeria to this deplorable state.”
