‘Buhari We Love (BWL)’, a support group, has staged a beach party to appeal to Nigerians to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari in the Feb. 16 presidential election.
The group said that the return of President Buhari would usher in the delivery of more democratic dividends.
The co-ordinator of the group, Mr Ambrose Ezenweani, made the call in Lagos at the group’s “4 + 4 Beach party”.
The beach party at Elegushi Beach was to mobilise youths and other segments of the society to support Buhari’s re-election.
Ezenweani said the president deserved the support of Nigerians for re-election as he had recorded remarkable achievements in his electoral promises.
The co-ordinator said the president had fought corruption fiercely since he assumed office in 2015, recovering looted funds and ensuring corrupt people were convicted.
Ezenweani added that the president had put the economy the path of progress with policies and programmes promoting growth.
In the area of security, the co-ordinator said the Buhari administration had confronted the menace of insurgency head-on, reclaiming territories that were once controlled by Boko Haram.
The co-ordinator said though there were still still issues to be addressed Nigerians could trust the president‘s commitment to deliver a country of everybody’s dream.
