The Senate Leader, Senator Ahmad Lawan, yesterday said President Muhammadu Buhari is a phenomenon.
He said the massive movement propelling the re-election of President is due to the phenomenal attributes of the man.
Lawan stated this in Abuja when he hosted members of North East Youth coalition for President Muhammadu Buhari in his office.
He said: “Buhari is a phenomenon, it’s a movement. What I mean here, let me not be misquoted. When I said Buhari is not a man, Buhari is an attitude to life, what is that attitude, integrity and commitment.
“He came into politics not to make money. It is our duty as citizens not to allow the president to do it alone. No matter how you are, how equipped you are, when it comes to leadership and administration, especially of a country that is as complex Nigeria, you need every hand to be on deck.
“That is what we are trying to do, that is what the coalition is seeking to do as a Senate. When the president came in 2015, the first actions he took were the actions necessary to rescue and secure the north east.
“The north east has been rescued, insurgency once it starts it doesn’t stop like when rain starts and stops, you will always find from time to time some signs that they are still there. But the signs have been reduced to suicide bombing of soft target, not declaring a caliphate with headquarters Bama or anywhere else. We really owe gratitude to our president.”
Lawan said “Buharism” is delivery of services in transparent and accountable manner.
He said, “We are not only asking President Muhammadu Buhari to run in 2019, we want Buhari to finish in 2023 and then another Buhari should come. The attitude to governance that we should be transparent and demonstrate accountability.”
The Senate Leader asked the youth to mobilize support for Buhari in the North east to ensure his easy return in 2019.
Abdullahi Auwal who led the group said the coalition had appointed Lawan as their grand patron.
Auwal noted that they were on top of the situation to galvanize and mobilise support for President Buhari in the North East geo-political zone and beyond. (The Nation )
