Defectors Are Bad Eggs Among APC Fold - Buhari
President
Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday described defectors from the All Progressives
Congress (APC) as bad eggs within the party’s fold.
He
said with God's aid, they will continue to be fished out one after another.
He
said this while assuring APC party supporters in Bauchi that his administration
will continue to work hard to surpass its campaign promises for a better
Nigeria.
Buhari
also told supporters not to be perturbed by the recent defections in the party,
saying,“God will continue to fish out the bad eggs among us,” as the 2019
general elections approach.
The
president spoke at the commencement of the campaign rally for the Bauchi South
Senatorial District bye-elections and the formal presentation of APC candidate
for the August 11 poll, Gumau Lawal Yahaya.
He
told the rally that the APC-led government had remained faithful in
implementing its campaign promise of improving the economy, securing the
country, and the fight against corruption.
“The
work we are doing is because of God, our country and you. I want to inform you
that the knowledge we have garnered over the years, we won't allow you to be
cheated.
“Like
we promised, what will determine a good future for the country are security,
strong economy and to stop corruption.
“We
campaigned on these things, you voted for us and we will never forget,
"the president said to a thunderous applause by party supporters at the
Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium, Bauchi.
Endorsing
the APC candidate for the senatorial bye-election, the president who was
accompanied by the party Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole;governors of Bauchi,
Plateau, Kano and Imo states, and other party officials declared,“We have
confidence in him and we trust him.”
He,
therefore, urged the people of Bauchi South Senatorial District to vote Yahaya
in the upcoming election.
The
president also thanked the people of Bauchi for defying the heavy rainfall en
masse to welcome him and show solidarity to the party's candidate in the senatorial
election.
