Nigerians resident in the United Kingdom on Friday converged in front of the Nigerian High Commission in London, rallying in Support of President Muhammadu Buhari's reelection bid in 2019. According to NAN, members of the groups expressed support for the Buhari-led administration, saying he had delivered on his previous electoral promises and should be given the opportunity to continue in 2019.
One of the leaders of the group, Mr. Stephen Kifordu, an indigene of Delta state who spoke to newsmen said the President is resetting the country on the part of growth and development. He said there is no credible alternative to Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in the 2019 election noting that the group represents the aspiration of many Nigerians who want progress for Nigeria.
He further explained that Nigeria was attractive to investors today because of Buhari’s fight against corruption in the country. He added that the previous administration gave room for rot and corrupt activities.
“We have a President in Nigeria that people can look at and trust that “If I invest in Nigeria, my investment will not be stolen. When we talk of security, he has done security in terms of Boko Haram and in terms of the Niger Delta,” he added.
Explaining further how President Buhari is ‘resetting’ the country, Kifordu said it is the primary role of the police and not the military to protect Nigerian citizens and President Buhari is enforcing this.
“The Police is the number one organisation that takes care of our security. It is only when we are under attack that the military comes in. In past years, we have seen the issue when the military jumps on board without paying regard to the police. Then suddenly when something happens in Nigeria, Mr President says deploy the police, people are saying don’t deploy the police.
“President Buhari is re-ordering up, he is resetting our country. He is bringing us back to the way things should be.”
