Babatunde Fashola, Minister of Power, Works and Housing, has urged the
people of the South-West to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari in the
2019 general election to guarantee return of power to the region in 2023.
Fashola stated this at a special town hall meeting on infrastructure,
organised by the Ministry of Information and Culture and the National
Orientation Agency, on Thursday.
According to NAN, Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture;
Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi and Minister of Water
Resources, Suleiman Adamu, were also at the town hall meeting with
Fashola.
Fashola, who spoke in Yoruba language, said: “Did you know that power is
rotating to the South-West after the completion of Buhari’s tenure if you
vote for him in 2019?
“Your child cannot surrender her waist for edifying beads and you will use
the bead to decorate another child’s waist. A vote for Buhari in 2019,
means a return of power to the South-West in 2023. I am sure you will vote
wisely.”
He also stated that the present administration had kept its promises to
Nigerians on security, fighting corruption and rebuilding the economy.
