Rivers APC congratulates Buhari
(Nigeria) The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, has congratulated the party’s presidential candidate, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), for defeating incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan of
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in last weekend’s presidential election.
Rivers APC in a statement in Port Harcourt by the state
Chairman, Dr. Davies Ikanya, described Buhari’s victory as expected and well
deserved.
“Today will remain epochal and indelible in Nigeria’s
history as it was the day on which Nigerians through their votes spoke with one
voice against a clueless and misguided administration that would have
completely grounded the country’s economy. With this change of guard, we wish
to proclaim that the worst is over and it is a new dawn for our dear country,
Nigeria.
“On behalf of Rivers APC, I thanked General Buhari for
making himself a tool for the emancipation and rebuilding of the country. Buhari
is a quintessential statesman with a proven record of integrity and
performance. We urge him to hit the ground running as we have no time to waste
in rebuilding our nation that has been badly bruised by the clueless administration
of Dr. Jonathan.
“Nigerians expect so much from him and he should not condone
any form of corruption, which is the hallmark of the PDP Administration that
brought us to this sorry pass. We must improve on agriculture and use it as a
tool for creating jobs for our teeming youths. Security and eradication of Boko
Haram should also be top priorities,” Rivers APC said.
It assured the President-elect that it will continue to
support him and do everything humanly possible to make sure that his administration
is golden and one of the best ever in the annals of Nigeria.
Paying tribute to others who made Buhari’s victory possible,
Rivers APC said: “We congratulate and commend Governor Rotimi Amaechi, for showing us the light in APC and proving
that he has a lot to offer Nigerian politics. Amaechi did a yeoman’s job as
Director-General of the Buhari Presidential Campaign Organisation. We are
immensely proud of his sacrifices to ensure the emergence of General Buhari as part
of his efforts to salvage our nation from doom. We urge him to continue to give
his best to the nation as we continue to give him all the needed support to
succeed.
“We equally congratulate Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Alhaji Rabiu Kwankwaso, Senator Bola Saraki, Dr. Ogbonnaya
Onu and our other great leaders for shaming our detractors and ensuring that we
succeed in this project. We plead with them all to bury their differences and
ensure that we give our best to this nation.”
