Why Buhari deserves second term in office - Senator Ashafa

- Senator Gbenga Ashafa has given reasons Nigerians should vote for President Muhammadu Buhari's re-election in 2019

- The federal lawmaker said that president deserves a second term to enable him consolidate on his achievements in the last three and half years

- Ashafa noted that Nigerians would not go back to the pre-2015 Nigeria, which was characterised by lack of hope

The senator representing Lagos east at the upper legislative chamber, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, has urged Nigerians to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari in next year’s elections.

The Nation reports that he said the president deserved a second term to enable him consolidate on his achievements in the last three and half years.

Legit.ng gathered that Ashafa told reporters in Lagos that Nigerians would show appreciation to the president by giving him a second term, contrary to the subject assessment of his achievements by the opposition.

He said it is gratifying that “the president has the unflinching support of our leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.”

Ashafa said Nigerians would not go back to the pre-2015 Nigeria, which was characterised by disillusionment and lack of hope.

He said: “Buhari’s achievements cannot be disputed. He has lived up to expectation. Look at the cardinal programmes he is implementing, and look at the income of Nigeria, in terms of our oil proceeds. The price of oil has dropped. Yet, the government is not relenting in fulfilling its promises.

“Let us look at the rail sub-sector. Buhari came in, he saw the need for an investment-friendly environment and legal framework. He knew that, without that, nobody will come and do business in Nigeria. That law can only come through a bill in the National Assembly. It was sponsored and it came to the committee headed by my humble self.

“Everything, including lobbying my colleagues, was done to ensure that it passed through the due process. He organised public hearings, called for experts and stakeholders’ meetings.

''The bill, to call a long story short, has seen the light of the day. Ditto the Regulatory Act of Transportation, and the National Transportation Commission Bill.”

Ashafa lauded President Buhari for fighting the infrastructure battle across the six regions, challenging the opposition to dispute his achievement in the critical sector.

He said: “President Buhari saw the need to renew the infrastructure battle. He renewed the railway paths. Look at the inter-city rail system connecting Abuja to other parts of the country. It may take time before you get to your destination.

''But, you will get there safely. You are kept busy and safe, enjoying your ride through entertainment. For those carrying cargoes, rail system is very efficient. President Buhari saw the future and decided to swing into action.

He added: “Look at how the Chinese are now eager to do business with Nigeria. The counterpart founding have been provided and they are ready to supply the rest of the money and training our people in the art of maintaining what is put on ground.

''This is to boost maintenance culture. Young graduates, through the collaboration by the Nigerian and Chinese governments, were given scholarship to learn the rudiments of rail transportation in a manner that, when they come back, these young Nigerians who would have acquired the expertise can take over from the Chinese.

“Buhari has done well. He has performed than his predecessors. He inherited many problems. He has been building roads and reconstructing those bad ones previously constructed.

''He has been generating employment through these activities; seven thousand employments have been generated between Lagos and Ibadan through the construction of the highways. Also, from Lagos to Abeokuta.

“The governor of Lagos, Akinwunmi Ambode, is corroborating with the federal ministry of transportation to ensure the success of the rail project. Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun state has been removing the buildings from the right of way.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that President Buhari on Thursday, December 27, appointed former Senate minority leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio, as the national coordinator of the presidential support committee ahead of 2019 general elections.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
