The Minister of Power,
Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, on Thursday, urged the people of
South-West to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 elections to
guarantee a return of power to the region in 2023.
The minister stated this at
a special town hall meeting on infrastructure organised by the Ministry of
Information and Culture and the National Orientation Agency.
The News Agency of Nigeria
reports the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed led three
other ministers including Fashola, Ministers of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi
and Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu to the town hall meeting.
Fashola said besides, the
massive investments by the Buhari administration on infrastructure across the
country and in the South-West particularly, the region would benefit
politically by voting for Buhari.
The minister, who spoke in
Yoruba language said: “Do you know that power is rotating to the South-West
after the completion of Buhari’s tenure if you vote for him in 2019?
“A vote for Buhari in 2019,
means a return of power to the South West in 2023. I am sure you will vote
wisely.”
On the performance of the
Administration, Fashola said that the government had kept its promises to
Nigerians in the three key areas of security, fighting corruption and
rebuilding the economy.
He said the essence of the
town hall meeting was to showcase what the administration had done in three and
half years.
