All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti state has scored President Muhammadu Buhari high in the programmes and policies implementation of the APC-led federal government. In a statement by the Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbsun, in AdoEkiti yesterday, the party commended Buhari on the successes recorded in the security of lives and property of Nigerians, citing in particular relative peace in the Niger Delta and defeat of Boko Haram in the North-east. It also praised the President for the adequate funding and restoration of confi dence in the military to record the successes in the two theatres of war in the country.
He said: “In spite of the recession and crippling corruption by the past administration, President Buhari has successfully applied the nation’s funds, such as bailout and Budget Support Facility cash, to address the pressing needs of Nigerian workers, including providing social security safe net for vulnerable Nigerians through N-Power MDGs empowerment schemes. “Th e faithful implementation of Bank Verifi cation Number (BVN) and Treasury Single Account (TSA) policies has elicited confi dence in Nigeria’s fi nancial system, resulting in international and local supports to lift Nigeria out of recession.”
Continuing, he said: “Under President Buhari, democracy has thrived through strict adherence to the separation of powers, as the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary function more smoothly and openly, leading to greater effi ciency in running of the institutions of government, which has in return led to more confi dence in Nigeria systems in international community. “So far, President Buhari has fulfi lled his promises to the Nigerian people and we believe that the current budget that addresses issues and programmes that will touch the lives of Nigerians will be faithfully implemented to address the promises that APC-led administration made to Nigerians.”
Olatunbosun urged Governor Ayodele Fayose to emulate Buhari’s leadership qualities by being focused on issue-based governance instead of getting himself involved in “frivolities of streets politics that add nothing to the quality of life of Ekiti people.” “Like Buhari, Fayose should make himself the apostle of peace instead of making himself head of thugs squad that destroys private and corporate properties and wealth in the state over disagreement on issues.
