Diaspora Chief Comrade (Ambassador)
James Erebuoye has hailed the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in the just
concluded February 23 elections which held nationwide. The President defeated
his closest rival by a good margin of over 4 million votes and earned a second
term ticket. The elections had been rescheduled from February 16, 2019 due to
shoddy preparation by INEC. Addressing a Press Conference at the federal capital
city, Abuja, the ebullient Comrade (Ambassador) James Erebuoye congratulated
President Buhari and the members of the All Progressive Congress for a job well
done. The Ambassador also used the opportunity to thank Nigerians for reposing
their confidence on him once again. He said President Buhari has a reputation
to protect and would never disappoint Nigerians; he said the President would
use the next four years to build a lasting legacy for Nigerians. Comrade James then
called on the Nigerian Journalists to use their good opportunity to build on the
unity and prosperity of Nigerians. He stressed that President Buhari is a man
of integrity and very honest. “We are going to work closely with him to ensure
his success”, he said. In another development, Comrade James commended the
field officers of the Expose Communications Limited a firm of Public Relations
and Online Bloggers who carried out a massive opinion poll nationwide on the
eve of the Presidential Elections. He described them as very patriotic and responsible
for spending such a huge financial resources to ensure that the unity of
Nigeria continue to exist adding that their effort would not be in vain. He particularly praised the
1,500 field officers who took part in the exercise across the 36 States of the
Federation. . Comrade James who is very close to the corridors of power further
disclosed that the outcome of the poll served as a template to gauge
where the pendulum would swing and the electorate
knew there was going to be relative peace in the country. “Through the poll
outcome, our confidence was buoyed for the fact that we knew Buhari’s influence
was going to play a key factor rather than money”, he said. The Comrade hinted
that Government was not unaware of the organizers efforts.
