He posited that the current issues confronting the country, most especially insecurity, were as a result of the sixteen years misrule of the PDP, urging all Nigerians to support President Buhari as he continues to address the issue.
His words:
“Agriculture and infrastructure have been the major focus of the Buhari’s administration. Farmers have obtained more friendly loan packages than before. Nigeria rail system was regarded as the worst in Africa before Buhari’s emergence in 2015.
“Buhari has initiated, completed and delivered remarkable major rail networks and Nigeria now has the best rail system in West Africa with thousands of jobs created.
“President Muhammadu Buhari has done so much good for the nation and when he leaves office in 2023, he would have done more good for the nation than any other government before him.”
Amosun, who was represented by Mr Taiwo Adeoluwa at the event was also honoured with an award of excellence as the Nation’s BridgeBuilder and Icon of Progressive Bloc by the union.
The award was presented by Dr Florence Ajimobi, the wife of former governor of Oyo state, late Senator Abiola Ajimobi.
