“This is a great day for democracy and good governance in Nigeria. The crowd that came to the stadium for the rally eloquently reaffirms the invincibility status of President Buhari.
“I mean if such a large crowd could gather at the stadium to receive the president in the south south, it means the people have seen the light which President Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo represent for this country,” a statement by Habib Aruna, his spokesperson, quoted the governor as saying.
Ambode said as promised by Buhari, the re-election of the president come 2019 would translate into improved infrastructure, economy, security and anti-corruption drive, among others, saying that a solid foundation to put the nation on sound pedestal had been firmly established in the last three and half years.
“What I want Nigerians to know and appreciate is that the re-election of Buhari/Osinbajo ticket in 2019 can only translate to improved security, economy, quality infrastructure and massive scaling up of anti-corruption drive, among others.
“In the last three and half years, President Buhari and Vice President Osinbajo have laid a solid foundation to put the country on a sound footing for economic growth and development.
“They have initiated social inclusion policies and constructed critical infrastructure across the federation thereby positively torching all the fabric of the nation.
“At this critical point in time in the trajectory of this country, we cannot afford to go back to the old inglorious days by bringing back a PDP (Peoples Democratic Party) government.

“They led us astray but the APC government is rebuilding Nigeria and taking us to enviable heights in the comity of nations. The PDP cannot just overnight be the solution when the party is the problem.
“What is left is for the people to face the 2019 elections with a determination to take Nigeria to the next level and the only sure way to do that right now is the re-election of President Buhari and Vice President Osinbajo,” Governor Ambode said.
