‘Buhari’s integrity intact’

A group, the Buhari Osibanjo Continuity Group (BOCOG), has said the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), President Muhammadu Buhari, is a marketable candidate for the election.

BOCOG’s Director-General, Otunba Oladiran Iyantan, state this at the weekend while visiting the state secretariat of the APC in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

Iyantan said the group embarked on the re-election project of the President due to the administration’s achievements within a short while.

He said: “We, therefore, realised the need to embark on this campaign to endear him to Nigerians and make his re-election a lot easier.

“President Buhari is a marketable candidate any day. He has not disappointed in his promise to change the face of governance in Nigeria for the better.

“Today, things have changed from greed to contentment, from corruption to decency, from endless infrastructure decay to aggressive investment in infrastructure.”

The BOCOG chief said the group is well-established in all the wards and local government areas of the federation to make its campaign more effective.

The platform, he noted, would also be useful to other candidates of the party across the country.

Iyantan said: “The President has stepped on the toes of the powers that be by refusing to renew oil blocks licences, by his refusal to sustain  bribe for budget passage and by saying no to budget padding.”

Also, the group’s National Secretary, Àlhaji Sadiq Abubakar Yusuf, urged APC members to brace up for the challenge ahead.

He hailed the President for restoring sanity in handling the finances of the country as well as the nation’s security.

The national secretary said BOCOG will soon embark on a million-man march for the re-election bid of the President.
