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.
