President Muhammadu Buhari’s childhood friend and second republic senator representing Katsina/Dutsinma district in the National Assembly, Abba Ali, has said Buhari should be supported for a second term in office in order to bring sanity to the country.
According to him, Buhari, who God made to be above board compared to his fellow politicians, has started a good job of tackling corruption in the country and should be supported.
“Everybody knows that this man (Buhari) is not out to accumulate wealth but to put Nigeria in its appropriate place in the comity of nations.
“This man is out to see that Nigeria is great again. And he has been doing all within his powers to achieve this. He realises that no country can be great with corruption. So he is fighting it with zeal and he is also tackling insurgency and all forms of criminality,” Ali told the Punch.
He added: “President Buhari should go for a second term in office. He has started a good job which is acknowledged both within the country and globally and it is better he contests again for a second term in office so that he can finish the good job he has started.
“He knows that Nigeria needs good infrastructural development and he is pursuing this. Look at the Mambilla power project that has been abandoned.
“He has resuscitated it. There are other projects being embarked upon by his government to ensure that the Nigerian youths are no longer jobless. So, I strongly support the call for his second term in office.
“By the time his second term ends, he would have laid a very solid foundation for whoever that is coming after him to leverage on. God, in his own wisdom, made President Muhammadu Buhari to be above board compared to his fellow politicians.
“We are prepared to support him to ensure that his second term bid succeeds and I believe that President Buhari will succeed while his detractors will fail.”
