Buhari being attacked for defending common people –RBM

Eric Dumo

A group, Re-elect Buhari Movement, has said that most of the people condemning President Muhammadu Buhari, who is seeking a second term in office, are doing so because his administration has enacted policies that are addressing the concerns of the common people in the country.

According to the group, politicians and even some category of  the elite, who are not happy that looting and stealing of public funds have been curbed under Buhari, are deploying different strategies to stop him from returning to Aso Rock during next year’s general elections.

Speaking in Lagos on Friday at a briefing, Convener of RBM, Mr. Emmanuel Umohinyang, a legal practitioner, said that despite the attacks against him, the President would be voted into office by Nigerians in order to continue the good work.

He said, “Since coming into office, we have seen traces of quality leadership and performances from President Muhammadu Buhari.

“President Buhari will continue to do that which is expected of him and his catchment area is the poor in the society. He is being attacked for defending ordinary Nigerians

“The truth is that since he came on board, the country has taken a new shape and this is good for the development of Nigeria. The rebuilding process would take some time but it would be worth the pain.”

“It is for this reason we are calling for the re-election of President Buhari. With the speed and steps taken by his administration, I can assure Nigerians that in the next four years with this President in the saddle, things are going to improve significantly.”
