President Buhari in Daura on Friday said the string of
victory recorded by the All Progressives Congress
(APC) in bye-elections in Bauchi, Katsina and Kogi
States is sufficient proof that 2019 elections will be
won by the party.
Receiving the representatives of the 34 Chairmen of the
Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON)
in Katsina State, President Buhari said: “coming against
the backdrop of the victory in Ekiti governorship
election, the string of victory by our party, the APC, is
a clear indication of the way things will go in 2019.
‘‘For those who are discerning; those who have
ears and eyes they will see, hear and
understand. Those who don’t understand are
entitled to their mistaken assumptions.”
The President, therefore, emphasized that the victories
in the recent polls are indeed “the sign of things to
come.”
He thanked the leaders of the association for paying
Sallah homage to him and for their message of
congratulations on the performance of the party and
the administration, assuring them that he would
continue to do his best for the nation.
Speaking on behalf of the members, the Chairman of
ALGON in the State, Alhaji Mohammed Na’Allah,
expressed their support and commitment to the
success of the Buhari Administration.
At another meeting with the leaders of the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN) Katsina State, President
Buhari expressed his continued determination to
respect the diversity of the country, saying that he will
run a government that is fair and just to all Nigerians.
The President thanked the CAN leadership in the State
for living in peace and harmony with other religious
groups, and for supporting his administration in its
policies and programmes
The CAN leaders who spoke during the visit, the State
Chairman, Rev. Nelson Onyeakachukwu, and an elder
and coordinator of the Christian Pilgrimage in the
State, Haruna Danjuma expressed happiness with the
President’s performance.
They described him as the State’s good ambassador
who had made everyone proud.
“Christians in Katsina are happy with both Governor
Masari in the State and yourself at the center. We will
continue to support both of you,” the CAN leaders told
the President.
