The BSG said “the continuity of Buhari/Osinbajo in 2019 is for the betterment and progress of this nation, despite the little resources available to the country. We, therefore, call on Nigerians to cast their votes for President Muhammadu Buhari and Professor Yemi Osinbajo.”
According to the group, “they are men of integrity, honesty and the fear of God, they are the men Nigeria needs at this particular time to govern the nation.”
The group said the achievements of President Buhari’s Government across the various states in the country were “very obvious and laudable and Nigerians have significantly felt the impact of some infrastructure development like roads’ construction, standard railways, upgrading our international airports/ terminals and standard housing estates across many states.”
The group also lauded Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State on his administration so far, saying “Dr Fayemi has started on a very good note driven by his passion for good governance by reversing all obnoxious taxes placed on pupils of nursery primary schools by the past government.”
