Ahead of next month’s president elections, the Vice
Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Professor Yemi
Osinbajo has taken the party’s campaign to Nigerians in the Diaspora.
According to the Nation report online, Osinbajo on Wednesday spoke with members of the APC in overseas via a video-conference.
It was gathered that the running mate of Gen Muhammadu Buhari spoke to APC members in Toronto, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary and Montreal, telling them that Nigeria was due for change.
Osinbajo added that the APC and Nigerians back home yearns for change from the policies of the current administration.
The progress of Nigeria, he said, has been hindered since the Peoples Democratic Party took over in 1999.
He promised that if the APC was elected into power by Nigerians, the party will correct all anomalies of the PDP and restore Nigeria’s lost glory as the pride of Africa.
Osinbajo expressed optimism on the effectiveness and workability of his party’s policies in tackling the socio-economic problems plaguing the country.
According to him, the administration of successive governments led by the PDP has been characterized by graft and corruption, whose effect inhibits the nation’s progress and development.
He said that the APC recognizes corruption as the central issue
facing Nigeria, adding that General Muhammadu Buhari, who has a
reputation as a strict fighter against corruption will end the pandemic.
Prof. Osinbajo said that the APC recognizes the enormous human resources available to Nigerians abroad, whose skills, talents, knowledge and experience are contributing to the development of other countries around the world.
He added that APC government will identify such talents and integrate them in building a Nigeria of our dream if elected into power.
In separate responses, leaders of APC-Diaspora, Canada Chapter, including the Chairman, Dr. Kayode Alabi, the Patron, Prof Isa Odidi, Vice Chairman, Ibraheem Haruna, and secretary, Rahman Ilupeju assured Prof. Yemi Osinbajo of the full support of Diaspora branches for the party and appealed to Nigerians back home to vote wisely.
They also encouraged Nigerians to objectively analyze issues confronting the nation, assess the performance of the current government and the (PDP) as a whole, in comparison with development witnessed in APC controlled States in Nigeria and the good policies and plans itemized by Osinbajo and choose the path of positive transformation.
The Public Relations Officer, APC-Diaspora, Canada Chapter, Jerry Solomon, used the occasion to appeal to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the law enforcement agencies to ensure a level playing ground for all aspirants.
Solomon called on INEC and the government to conduct a free and fair election and avoid the use of security apparatus to harass and intimidate electorates.
He said these were the issues that usually lead to post-election violence.
Solomon also advised the political parties and all the stakeholders to emulate Prof. Osinbajo and base their campaign strategy more on issues that borders on how to develop the country rather than attacking each other and using political thugs to cause violence and disturbing the peace of the nation.
