Akpabio & Buhari |
The
National Coordinator, Presidential Support Committee, Senator Godswill Akpabio
has insisted that considering the achievements of the President Muhammadu
Buhari -led administration in office, Nigeria has no other better alternative
than to give him another term.
Akpabio,
who spoke with Journalists in Abuja, urged the South-South people to reconsider
their stand in planning to vote for the party that wants to sell the Nigeria
National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC), and its other assets.
Atiku
Abubakar, the PDP Presidential Candidate, has vowed to sell the NNPC, if voted
into power, to break what he called ‘mafia’ in the corporation.
But
Senator Akpabio said it will not be in the interest of the Niger Delta people
for NNPC to be sold.
“Yes
I believe Nigerians can compare the difference between apple and orange. The
reality is that this president has done very well considering the fact that he
was able to take Nigeria out of recession.
“He
met ongoing projects on ground, such as the airports and the railways. He
completed and put them to use. Nigerians are clamoring for change, better
health care, better educational facilities and all those things cannot happen
when you spend almost 80 percent of resources on recurring expenses like
pension, salary arrears.
“So
we must commend the President and of course, if you take a look at what is
happening on the Lagos-Ibadan railway, you will be very impressed. Take a look
at the Abuja-Kano railway, some people now travel with rail to the North.
“The
power sector has improved from 2,500MW to 7000MW. So many things are visible
and the enabling environment is there in terms of law and order. The fight
against corruption has really been intensified and the good thing is that it
has now become a deterrent to any public official that yes…, if you go out of your
way to move your pocket forward instead of your country or state, you will be
held accountable.
“If you see a government that has shown
sincerity, it simply means that we are now talking about a question of
integrity and a question of postulation. We are postulating that if you bring
in a government that will sell your father’s land, that will sell your oil
wells and sell the waters that you use in fishing, then I can conclude that
there is no alternative to President Buhari.”
