His continued: “While we engage in issue based campaigns, we should know that my opponent in the governorship race is a serial contestant and a serial loser; he is a bad product that is difficult to market.

The governor who was accompanied to the rallies by his wife, Dame Edith and his deputy, Barrister Kingsley Otuaro, thanked Deltans for their support.

He said: “We have a partnership that works, a genuine partnership between government and the governed, it has made the people to freely tell what government what they need, how they feel and we, as a government, has responded.

“We have empowerment programmes, we have constructed roads and because, you call me the road master, we will construct more roads in the next four years, we have built schools, we are working with our people and the smiling faces I see here, the crowd shows that our people are happy and we are happy when we know that our people are happy.”

He listed some of the projects his administration has executed and is executing in the area, emphasising, “vote for all the candidates of the PDP, we are sure of victory, because we have handed over the campaign to God, no one can stop us.”

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?
