In apparent reference to the prominent names defecting the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other parties, President Muhammadu Buhari Thursday in Bauchi\u00a0told supporters not to be perturbed by the recent defections in the party, saying “God will continue to fish out the bad eggs among us,” as the 2019 general elections approach.
\nHe assured APC supporters that his administration will continue to work hard to surpass its campaign promises for a better Nigeria.
\nThe President, according to his spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina, spoke at the commencement of the campaign rally for the Bauchi South Senatorial District bye-elections and the formal presentation of APC Candidate for the August 11 poll, Hon. Gumau Lawal Yahaya.
\nPresident Buhari told the rally that the APC-led government had remained faithful in implementing its\u00a0campaign promise of improving the economy, securing the country, and the fight against corruption.
\n“The work\u00a0we\u00a0are\u00a0doing is because of God, our country and you. I want to inform you that the knowledge we have garnered over the years, we won’t allow you to be cheated.
\n\u2018\u2018Like we promised, what will determine a good future for the country are security, strong economy and to stop corruption.
\n\u201cWe campaigned on these things, you voted for us and\u00a0we will never forget, “the President said to a thunderous applause by party supporters at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium, Bauchi.
\nEndorsing the APC candidate for the senatorial bye-election, the President who was accompanied by the party Chairman Adams Oshiomhole, Governors of Bauchi, Plateau, Kano and Imo\u00a0States, and other party officials declared: “we have confidence in him and we trust him.”
\nHe, therefore, urged the people of Bauchi South senatorial district to vote Hon.\u00a0\u00a0Yahaya in the upcoming election.
\nThe President also thanked the people of Bauchi for defying the heavy rainfall and coming out en masse to welcome him and show solidarity to the party’s candidate in the Senatorial election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
