Ahead Of 2019 Election, Governor Bagudu Highlights President Buhari's Achievement

Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi state has expressed certainty over President Muhammadu Buhari's victory in the 2019 presidential election. 

The Vanguard reports that the Kebbi governor, after a closed-door meeting with the chief of staff to the president, Abba Kyari, at the presidential villa on Tuesday, December 4, laughed off the chance of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)'s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, winning the coming poll.

Legit.ng gathers that Bagudu, when asked if Atiku's achievements and campaign promises are worthy falling in for, said President Buhari's achievements and second terms promises are far beyond comparison.

Addressing the state house correspondents, the governor also noted that the campaign rally held by PDP in Sokoto state was not an indication of Atiku's acceptability.

He added that the teeming crowd available in the rally did not intimidate the president.

He said:"I don’t know what you mean when you said you saw crowd there because many people have different interpretations.

"And like I said, President Buhari is running on his own record. Within the last ten days, the next level agenda was disclosed showing what has been achieved and what the second term will usher and that I believe has resonated with Nigerians and there is no comparison.”

Bagudu also highlighted the achievements of the president, adding that Kebbi state is satisfied with his policies so far.

He said: "We believe that President Muhammadu Buhari is running on his record and Kebbi state is one of those states that is very proud of the policies that had been put in place.

"It has helped the state to achieve gross in output, gross in income, better security and more transparency in the management of our revenue.

“So all the three elements that President Muhammadu Buhari promised in his campaign, we have seen the benefits in Kebbi state. So as a result, we are a welfare and transparent state.

“The generality of the people of Kebbi state are united under one party and we are determined to lead all other states to ensure that President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo are re-elected."

At a colloquium organised in Osogbo tagged "Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Eye of History,” Governor Atiku Bagude of Kebbi state showered a flurry of encomium on former governor Aregbesola for taking risk in building a new Osun state.

Bagudu, commenting on Aregebesola's achievements, said the education policy of the immediate Osun state governor remained the best in the country.
