A member of the seventh House of Representatives, Hon. Bamidele Faparusi, has described the early declaration of interest in the 2019 presidential poll by President Muhammadu Buhari confirmed the enormous respect he has for Nigerian voters.

He said the President was quite aware that no one, no matter how powerful could use his position to rig election, saying this he said prompted his declaration to give him the ample opportunity to reach out to Nigerians.

The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress(APC), said President Buhari had again redefined the politics by influencing the unanimous decision taken by the National Executive Committee(NEC) of the party to conduct congresses and hold National convention in consonance to the party’s constitution.

Faparusi, an All Progressives Congress( APC) governorship aspirant in Ekiti State, endorsed Buhari’s second term bid, assuring that he would work assiduously with other progressive politicians in the state to mobilize not less than 80% of Ekiti voters to back the president.

In a statement in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday, Faparusi said Buhari’s second term would give him veritable chance to fight corrupt individuals and insurgents, who were bent on destabilizing the country to achieve certain parochial interest.

He said: “President Buhari’s reelection remains the best thing for Nigeria. This is a President who is selfless and incorruptible unlike his predecessors who permitted looting spree that brought Nigeria to the abyss of economic recession and deprivation. “With this early declaration, it shows that the President has respect for the electorate.

He knew that his fate lies in the hands of Almighty Allah and Nigerian voters, so this is the most auspicious time for Mr President to tell Nigerian masses and to afford his supporters enough time to campaign and inform Nigerians his achievements in office.

“There is no doubting the fact that President Buhari has done so well by bringing the country out of recession. He has raised the foreign reserves from $23b to $47b within a spate of three years.

“He has decimated the very frightening Boko Haram insurgents and corruption has reduced drastically. Today, Buhari has succeeded in institutionalizing anti-corruption war and now the fear of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC), is the beginning of wisdom.”

Faparusi urged politicians in APC to learn from President Buhari’s humility, by stopping taking the people for a ride while preparing for elections.

“Those who have occupied very lesser positions in this country had not even displayed the kind of respect President Buhari exhibited for Nigerians.

“We have seen many of these leaders delaying their declarations and kept people guessing , thereby putting the party into disarray just because of reliance on money and connections to bulldoze their ways”.

On Buhari’s position on the congresses of the party, Faparusi said: “PDP didn’t follow due process during their 16 years ignoble reign, that was why the party crashed in 2015 and we thank God that our party had decided to follow due process”.
