The door to door campaign which touched notable places in the nooks and crannies of Iwo local government took off from Ori-Eru junction, Odo - Ori market, Araromi Area, Osogbo junction, Towen road and terminated its sensitization programme at the Oluwo's Palace.

The Buhari Leekan Si ambassadors took time to convince electorates on the need to return the duo of Muhammadu Buhari and Yemi Osinbajo as president and vice president respectively in the February 16 election, which they said is for the continuation of the good and lofty ideas that will propel the country into prosperity and economic advancement.

Speaking to journalists, the director of media and publicity of the initiative, Samson Owoyokun lauded President Buhari for the critical interventions he has made to redeem the lost glory of Nigeria.

He also noted that the administration has recorded landmark achievements in the health, agriculture, power, road and railway sectors as well as his courageous mind to stem corruption in the country.

His words: “Iwo is strategic in the political scheme of Osun, and our party APC didn't do very well here in the last election, so this is a strategic intervention to boost the chances of the party, and enlighten electorates on voters education to reduce drastically voided votes in the coming election as against the 49,000 cancelled votes in the September 22 gubernatorial election.

“We are taking this campaign to other major towns in Osun and will be held in Oyo, Ondo and Ekiti states too.”

The APC chairman in Iwo, Alhaji Gafar Adeniyi Atanda who led other chieftains of the party to join the rally equally praised the initiator of the enlightenment rally for his contribution towards the stability of the party.

According to him, Iwo people are direct beneficiaries of the government policies in trader moni, market money and N-power programme.

“We can see the huge investment in road and power infrastructure everywhere we travel to within Nigeria,” he said.

Residents of the town trooped out to welcome the Buhari Leekan Si ambassadors and promised to mobilize votes for President Buhari and APC candidates in the zone.

Reacting to the statement from Abubakar's media aide, over the widely-circulated testimony series of his ministry to showcase the administration's achievements, Mohammed said the action of the PDP candidate amounts to an acknowledgement of the administration's impressive achievements.

He also dismissed as 'acute paranoia' the allegation by Atiku that the APC-led federal government is using state resources for electioneering campaign.

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...
